Roberto Perez riding pine Thursday for Giants

San Francisco Giants catcher Roberto Perez is not in the starting lineup against right-hander Lance Lynn and the Chicago White Sox in Thursday afternoon's series finale.

What It Means:

Perez will sit after starting the first two games of the series. Blake Sabol will catch for Alex Wood while LaMonte Wade Jr. will shift to left field. Wilmer Flores will replace Perez in the lineup to play first base and bat second. Joc Pederson will bat third and David Villar will hit fifth, with Michael Conforto working out of the five-hole.

numberFire’s models project Flores ($2,500) for 9.8 FanDuel points on Thursday. Per our MLB Heat Map, the Giants' implied total is 3.83 and the game total is 8.0.
