New York Yankees infielder Isiah Kiner-Falefa is not in the starting lineup again Monday for Game 5 of the ALDS against right-hander Aaron Civale and the Cleveland Guardians.
Kiner-Falefa is out of the order for a second straight elimination game. Oswaldo Cabrera will start at shortstop again and hit sixth while Aaron Hicks makes another start in left field.
Cabrera has a $7,000 salary on FanDuel's single-game Monday slate and numberFire's models project him for 9.2 FanDuel points. In the second half of the regular season, Civale registered a 3.01 xFIP, 27.5% strikeout rate, and 4.2% walk rate across eight starts.
