Yuli Gurriel idle for Astros on Thursday
Houston Astros first baseman Yuli Gurriel is not in the starting lineup for Thursday's series opener against right-hander Kyle Bradish and the Baltimore Orioles.
What It Means:
Gurriel will grab a seat while Trey Mancini takes over on first base and Yordan Alvarez starts in left field. Yainer Diaz will work as the Astros' designated hitter and No. 8 hitter.
Mancini has a $2,800 salary on Thursday and numberFire’s models project him for 8.1 FanDuel points. Per our MLB Heat Map, the Astros’ implied total (4.00) is No. 11 in the majors today.
