Martin Maldonado sitting for Astros' Wednesday matinee
Houston Astros catcher Martin Maldonado is not in the starting lineup for Wednesday afternoon's series finale against left-hander Cole Irvin and the Oakland Athletics.
What It Means:
Korey Lee will start at catcher over Maldonado and hit ninth.
Lee has a $2,000 salary on Wednesday and numberFire’s models project him for 6.4 FanDuel points. Per our MLB Heat Map, the Astros’ implied total (4.02) is 16th out of 28 active teams Wednesday.
