Pirates' Kevin Padlo in dugout Thursday

Pittsburgh Pirates infielder Kevin Padlo is not in the starting lineup for Thursday's series finale against right-hander Josh Winckowski and the Boston Red Sox.

What It Means:

Rodolfo Castro will move to third base in place of Padlo and hit fifth while Kevin Newman shifts to second base and bats second. Oneil Cruz will replace Padlo in the lineup to play shortstop and hit sixth.

Cruz has a $3,100 salary on Thursday and numberFire’s models project him for 9.2 FanDuel points. Per our MLB Heat Map, the Pirates' implied total (3.90) is fifth out of 10 teams on the Main slate.
