Sam Hilliard in left field for Rockies on Thursday afternoon

Colorado Rockies outfielder Sam Hilliard is batting eighth in Thursday's lineup against the St. Louis Cardinals.

What It Means:

Hilliard will man left field after Yonathan Daza was moved to center, Randal Grichuk was shifted to right, Charlie Blackmon was named Thursday's designated hitter, Elehuris Montero was aligned at first, and C.J. Cron was rested.

In a matchup versus right-hander Dakota Hudson, our models project Hilliard to score 7.8 FanDuel points at the salary of $2,500.
