Leody Taveras taking seat Friday for Rangers
Texas Rangers outfielder Leody Taveras is not in the lineup for Friday's series opener against right-hander Brandon Woodruff and the Milwaukee Brewers.
What It Means:
Taveras has struggled since the break and he is absent for the second time in three games. J.P. Martinez will start in center field and hit seventh for Texas on Friday.
numberFire’s models project Martinez ($2,300) for 6.1 FanDuel points on Friday. Per our MLB Heat Map, the Rangers' implied total is 4.11 and the game total is 8.0. After missing the start of the season with a shoulder injury, Woodruff has been strong through four starts and 22 2/3 innings, with a 2.72 xERA, 30.6% strikeout rate, and 4.7% walk rate.
