Jhonny Peralta

Jhonny Peralta (rest) absent from Cards lineup

The Cardinals all-star shortstop will sit out of today's finale against the Braves. Pete Kozma will replace him at short batting eighth.

What It Means:

Kozma is arguably having his worst season to date posting a slash line of .153/.228/.153 with a wOBA of .178 and a nERD of -1.04, which ranks third worst in St. Louis. He enters today ranked 22nd amongst shortstops in our daily fantasy projections aligned with the Draft Kings format expected to garner 6.31 fantasy points.
