David Villar returns to Giants, starting Wednesday afternoon
The San Francisco Giants recalled infielder David Villar from Triple-A Sacramento on Wednesday.
What It Means:
Villar will replace J.D. Davis (ankle) on third base and bat eighth in Wednesday afternoon's series finale against left-hander Jordan Montgomery and the St. Louis Cardinals. He could potentially see playing time over the next week or so if Davis winds up landing on the injured list.
Villar is numberFire’s top point-per-dollar value among batters on Wednesday. He has a $2,000 salary and our models project him for 9.1 FanDuel points. Per our MLB Heat Map, the Giants' implied total is 3.90 and the game total is 8.5. Montgomery has a 3.88 ERA and 4.35 xERA this season, with a 37.9% hard-hit rate, 21.2% strikeout rate, and 6.1% walk rate.
