Jordan Luplow joining Arizona bench Monday

Arizona Diamondbacks outfielder Jordan Luplow is not in the starting lineup for Monday's series opener against right-hander Tyler Beede and the Pittsburgh Pirates.

What It Means:

Jake McCarthy will replace Luplow in left field and bat sixth. Luplow filled in for McCarthy on Sunday.

McCarthy is currently numberFire's fourth-best point-per-dollar value among hitters on Monday. He has a $2,200 salary and our models project him for 10.9 FanDuel points. Per our MLB Heat Map, the Diamondbacks’ implied total (4.75) is tied for second-highest in the majors on Monday. Beede is registering a 4.81 SIERA, 13.3% strikeout rate, and 10.1% walk rate this season, and he will be followed by a Pirates' bullpen that has the highest xFIP (4.32) in the majors.
