Rene Rivera benched for third straight game
Amidst a season long slump connecting for 42 hits in 239 at bats (.176), Rene Rivera has been sidelined for his third consecutive game. Instead Rays' manager, Kevin Cash, has elected to give backup Curt Casali his 19th start of the season. Casali will bat ninth.
What It Means:
Casali, who has a .214 batting average with a .329 wOBA and a 0.10 nERD, will face Tigers' righty Anibal Sanchez tonight in Tampa. Our metrics have Casili ranked 15th among catchers in daily fantasy projections expected to garner 5.94 fantasy points.
