Jonathan Schoop absent for Detroit Wednesday afternoon

Detroit Tigers infielder Jonathan Schoop is not in the lineup for Wednesday afternoon's series finale against right-hander Dane Dunning and the Texas Rangers.

What It Means:

Nick Maton will return to the lineup to play second base and bat fifth. Zack Short will move to the hot corner in place of Schoop and hit seventh.

numberFire’s models project Maton ($2,300) for 9.3 FanDuel points on Wednesday. Short ($2,200) is projected for 8.1 FanDuel points. Per our MLB Heat Map, the Tigers' implied total is 4.08 and the game total is 9.0. Dunning is hiding a 3.99 xERA behind a 1.67 ERA this season, with a 15.4% strikeout rate and 5.9% walk rate. His punchout rate is fourth-lowest among Wednesday's listed starters.
