Jesse Winker (illness) batting sixth Thursday for Nationals

Washington Nationals outfielder Jesse Winker (illness) will start in left field and bat sixth in Thursday afternoon's series finale against left-hander Martin Perez and the Pittsburgh Pirates.

What It Means:

Winker will return after being held out of the last two lineups. He will replace a fellow lefty hitter, Eddie Rosario, in the lineup on Thursday as the Pirates send a southpaw to the mound.

numberFire's models project Winker for 7.8 FanDuel points on Thursday. Per our MLB Heat Map, the Nationals-Pirates game total (8.5) is the highest in the majors today.
