San Francisco Giants outfielder LaMonte Wade Jr. is not in the starting lineup for Thursday's series opener against left-hander Justin Steele and the Chicago Cubs.
Yermin Mercedes will replace Wade at designated hitter and bat cleanup.
Mercedes has a $2,300 salary on Thursday and numberFire’s models project him for 9.5 FanDuel points. Per our MLB Heat Map, the Giants’ implied total (4.28) is No. 10 out of 20 active teams Thursday.
