Anthony Rizzo absent again Thursday for Yankees
New York Yankees infielder Anthony Rizzo is not in the lineup again for Thursday's series opener against right-hander Cristian Javier and the Houston Astros.
What It Means:
Rizzo is absent for a second straight game after the left-handed hitter was held out against a southpaw on Wednesday. Jake Bauers will cover first base again and bat leadoff in Thursday's opener.
numberFire’s models project Bauers ($2,800) for 10.2 FanDuel points on Thursday. Per our MLB Heat Map, the Yankees' implied total is 4.25 and the game total is 8.5. Javier has a 4.33 ERA and 4.49 xERA this season, with a 37.4% hard-hit rate, 22.9% strikeout rate, and 7.8% walk rate.
