Sergio Alcantara sitting for Arizona against Pirates

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

What It Means:

Alcantara will return to the bench after making a start on Sunday. Geraldo Perdomo will take back over at shortstop and hit ninth.

Perdomo has a $2,600 salary on Monday and numberFire’s models project him for 7.0 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.
