Detroit Tigers infielder Josh Lester is not in the starting lineup for Wednesday afternoon's series finale against left-hander Patrick Sandoval and the Los Angeles Angels.
Lester was the Tigers' designated hitter on Tuesday in his first MLB start and he went 0-for-4 with a pair of strikeouts. Javier Baez will take over at DH while Ryan Kreidler shifts to shortstop Wednesday afternoon. Jeimer Candelario will make a start on third base and bat seventh.
Candelario has a $2,500 salary on Wednesday and numberFire’s models project him for 7.8 FanDuel points. Per our MLB Heat Map, the Tigers’ implied total (3.57) is No. 19 in the majors today.
