Yuli Gurriel idle Friday for Astros
Houston Astros first baseman Yuli Gurriel is not in the starting lineup for Friday's series opener against left-hander Cole Irvin and the Oakland Athletics.
What It Means:
The Astros appear to be giving Gurriel a maintenance day after he went 2-for-16 in the last four contests. J.J. Matijevic will replace Gurriel on first base and bat seventh on Friday.
numberFire’s models project Matijevic for 8.6 FanDuel points on Friday, and he has a $2,000 salary. Per our MLB Heat Map, the Astros' implied total (4.62) is seventh-highest in the majors on Friday.
