Riley Adams absent Tuesday for Nationals

Washington Nationals catcher Riley Adams is not in the lineup for Tuesday's series opener against left-hander Tommy Henry and the Arizona Diamondbacks.

What It Means:

Adams will return to the bench after filling in at catcher last game. Keibert Ruiz will catch for Jake Irvin and hit sixth on Tuesday.

numberFire’s models project Ruiz ($2,900) for 8.5 FanDuel points on Tuesday. Per our MLB Heat Map, the Nationals' implied total is 4.43 and the game total is 9.5. Bieber has a 3.73 ERA and 1.24 WHIP this season, with a 15.0% strikeout rate and 9.6% walk rate. His punchout rate is third-worst among Tuesday's listed starters.
