Vimael Machin on bench for Athletics' Wednesday matinee

Oakland Athletics infielder Vimael Machin is not in the starting lineup for Wednesday afternoon's series finale against left-hander Jesus Luzardo and the Miami Marlins.

What It Means:

The lefty-hitting Machin will sit versus the Marlins' southpaw after four straight starts against righties. Sheldon Neuse will shift to third base and bat fifth while Nick Allen starts at shortstop and bats leadoff.

Neuse has a $2,100 salary on Wednesday and numberFire’s models project him for 7.7 FanDuel points. Per our MLB Heat Map, the Athletics’ implied total (3.39) is fifth-lowest out of the 28 active teams today.
