William Contreras on Braves' bench Thursday

Atlanta Braves catcher William Contreras is not in the starting lineup for Thursday's series finale against right-hander Jacob deGrom and the New York Mets.

What It Means:

Travis d'Arnaud will start at catcher and hit fifth.

d'Arnaud has a $2,900 salary on Thursday and numberFire’s models project him for 8.2 FanDuel points. Per our MLB Heat Map, the Braves’ implied total (3.08) is second-lowest on Thursday's Main slate out of 10 teams. The over/under for the game (6.5) is the lowest of the five contests.
