FanDuel Fantasy Points Per Game More DFS

Ryan Noda (hand) back in Athletics lineup Thursday

Oakland Athletics first baseman Ryan Noda (hand) will start at designated hitter and bat sixth in Thursday afternoon's series finale against right-hander Jon Gray and the Texas Rangers.

What It Means:

Noda was held out of the first two lineups this series after injuring his hand in batting practice on Tuesday, but he will return to action for the finale. Tyler Nevin will start on first base and Abraham Toro will take care of the hot corner. Darell Hernaiz will move to shortstop and Nick Allen will take a seat.

numberFire's models project Noda for 9.2 FanDuel points on Thursday.
