Maikel Franco finding seat Friday for Nationals
Washington Nationals infielder Maikel Franco is not in the starting lineup on Friday versus right-hander Kyle Gibson and the Philadelphia Phillies.
What It Means:
Franco stole his first base of the season in Thursday's loss to the Phillies, but he is just 3-for-27 since the All-Star break and will sit for the second time in three games. Ildemaro Vargas will replace Franco on third base and bat ninth.
Vargas has a $2,100 salary on Friday and numberFire’s models project him for 6.0 FanDuel points. Per our MLB Heat Map, the Nationals’ implied total (3.86) is No. 22 on Friday's Main slate.
