Evan Longoria left off Giants' early game lineup Thursday
San Francisco Giants infielder Evan Longoria is not in the starting lineup versus right-hander Corbin Burnes and the Milwaukee Brewers for Game 1 of Thursday's doubleheader.
What It Means:
Longoria went 1-for-13 with four strikeouts while starting all three games of the Giants' series against the Los Angeles Dodgers this week. David Villar will move to the hot corner in place of Longoria while LaMonte Wade Jr. enters the lineup to play first base and bat leadoff. Villar went yard twice in the Giants' loss to the Dodgers on Wednesday.
Villar has a $4,000 salary on Thursday's single-game slate and numberFire’s models project him for 8.3 FanDuel points. Per our MLB Heat Map, the Giants' implied total (3.22) is fourth-lowest out of the 12 teams playing today.
