Christian Bethancourt on bench for Rays versus Baltimore
Tampa Bay Rays catcher Christian Bethancourt is not in the starting lineup for Friday's series opener against right-hander Tyler Wells and the Baltimore Orioles.
What It Means:
Francisco Mejia will start at catcher over Bethancourt and bat eighth. The Rays transferred backstop Mike Zunino (shoulder) to the 60-day injured list Friday, so Mejia and Bethancourt will continue splitting time behind the plate.
numberFire’s models project Mejia for 7.0 FanDuel points on Friday, and he has a $2,200 salary. Per our MLB Heat Map, the Rays’ implied total (3.91) is No. 16 in the majors on Friday.
