Arizona's Alek Thomas taking over in center on Saturday night

Arizona Diamondbacks outfielder Alek Thomas is batting second in Saturday's lineup against the Washington Nationals.

What It Means:

Thomas will start in center field after Daulton Varsho was moved to right, Jake McCarthy was chosen as Arizona's designated hitter, and Buddy Kennedy was benched.

In a matchup against Nationals' right-hander Anibal Sanchez, our models project Thomas to score 10.8 FanDuel points at the salary of $2,400.
