Christian Bethancourt on Rays' bench Wednesday
Tampa Bay Rays first baseman/catcher/designated hitter Christian Bethancourt is not in the starting lineup for Wednesday's series finale against right-hander Lance McCullers and the Houston Astros.
David Peralta will take over as the Rays' DH and bat fifth while Randy Arozarena returns to left field and cleanup duty. Harold Ramirez will be on first base and Rene Pinto will be behind the bag.
Peralta has a $2,500 salary on Wednesday and numberFire’s models project him for 8.7 FanDuel points. Per our MLB Heat Map, the Rays’ implied total (3.39) is sixth-lowest in the majors today.
