Nelson Cruz (eye) still out Wednesday afternoon for Nationals
Washington Nationals outfielder Nelson Cruz (eye) is not in the starting lineup for Wednesday afternoon's series finale against right-hander Bryce Elder and the Atlanta Braves.
What It Means:
Cruz is out of a seventh straight lineup due to left eye inflammation. Luke Voit will handle the designated hitter role and cleanup duty again on Wednesday afternoon.
Voit has a $3,000 salary on Wednesday and numberFire’s models project him for 12.4 FanDuel points. Per our MLB Heat Map, the Nationals’ implied total (3.36) is tied for fifth-lowest in the majors today.
