Victor Caratini absent for Wednesday matinee in Milwaukee
Milwaukee Brewers catcher Victor Caratini is not in the lineup for Wednesday afternoon's series finale against right-hander Chris Flexen and the Colorado Rockies.
What It Means:
Caratini went hitless with a strikeout as the starting catcher on Tuesday. William Contreras will catch for Adrian Houser and Christian Yelich will shift to designated hitter. Tyrone Taylor will start in left field and hit eighth while Sal Frelick will cover the other corner and bat cleanup.
Contreras is currently numberFire's second-best point-per-dollar value among projected batters on Wednesday. He has a $3,000 salary and our models project him for 13.6 FanDuel points. Per our MLB Heat Map, the Brewers' implied total is third-highest on the board at 5.31 and the game total is 9.0. Flexen has registered a horrendous 6.97 xERA and paltry 14.5% strikeout rate this season.
