Bubba Thompson on Texas bench Wednesday

Texas Rangers outfielder Bubba Thompson is not in the starting lineup versus rookie right-hander Brandon Pfaadt and the Arizona Diamondbacks on Wednesday afternoon.

What It Means:

Thompson will take a seat after three straight starts. Travis Jankowski will move to left field on Wednesday afternoon while Leody Taveras enters the lineup to play center field and hit eighth.

numberFire’s models project Taveras ($2,600) for 7.0 FanDuel points on Wednesday. Jank ($2,700) is projected for 9.1 FanDuel points. Per our MLB Heat Map, the Rangers' implied total is 4.41 and the game total is 8.5. Pfaadt will be making his MLB debut versus the Rangers and the 24-year-old is considered one of the top pitching prospects in all of baseball. He recorded a 3.91 ERA and 1.18 WHIP with 30 strikeouts and 6 walks through 25 1/3 innings (five starts) this season before being called up.
