Nico Hoerner not in Cubs' lineup versus Marlins
Chicago Cubs infielder Nico Hoerner is not in the starting lineup for Friday afternoon's series opener against right-hander Edward Cabrera and the Miami Marlins.
What It Means:
Hoerner started the past 27 games for the Cubs and hit .260 with a .697 OPS. Christopher Morel will shift to shortstop in place of Hoerner and hit eighth while Rafael Ortega takes over in center field and the leadoff spot.
Ortega has a $5,000 salary on the single-game slate and numberFire’s models project him for 12.6 FanDuel points, which makes him our second-best point-per-dollar value in the contest. Per our MLB Heat Map, the Cubs’ implied total is 4.32 and they are -152 favorites over the fish.
