Astros' J.J. Matijevic absent for Wednesday matinee
Houston Astros first baseman J.J. Matijevic is not in the starting lineup for Wednesday afternoon's series finale against left-hander Cole Irvin and the Oakland Athletics.
What It Means:
Yuli Gurriel will return to first base in place of Matijevic and hit second.
Gurriel has a $2,400 salary on Wednesday and numberFire’s models project him for 11.9 FanDuel points. He is currently our fourth-best point-per-dollar value among hitters. Per our MLB Heat Map, the Astros’ implied total (4.02) is 16th out of 28 active teams Wednesday.
