Maikel Franco idle again Monday for Nationals

Washington Nationals infielder Maikel Franco is not in the starting lineup for Monday's series opener against right-hander Tony Gonsolin and the Los Angeles Dodgers.

What It Means:

Franco is sidelined for a second straight game after he went 1-for-6 with a pair of whiffs in the first two games out of the break. Ehire Adrianza will make another start on third base and bat eighth.

Adrianza has a $2,000 salary on Monday and numberFire’s models project him for 6.9 FanDuel points. Per our MLB Heat Map, the Nationals' implied total (3.26) is tied for the lowest total out of 24 teams on Monday.
