Astros' J.J. Matijevic joining bench Wednesday
Houston Astros first baseman J.J. Matijevic is not in the starting lineup for Wednesday's series finale against left-hander Cole Ragans and the Texas Rangers.
What It Means:
Yordan Alvarez will shift into the designated hitter role in place of Matijevic while Trey Mancini returns to start in left field and hit seventh.
Mancini has a $2,700 salary and numberFire’s models project him for 10.5 FanDuel points. Per our MLB Heat Map, the Astros’ implied total (4.92) is second-highest on the Main slate Wednesday.
