Washington Nationals infielder Cesar Hernandez is not in the starting lineup for Friday's series opener against left-hander Mike Minor and the Cincinnati Reds.
Hernandez will yield second base to Luis Garcia and leadoff duties to Lane Thomas. Garcia will hit second for the Nationals.
Garcia is numberFire's second-best point-per-dollar value among hitters on Friday. He has a $2,200 salary and our models project him for 11.8 FanDuel points. Per our MLB Heat Map, the Nationals’ implied total (4.59) is No. 8 out of the 30 active teams today.
