Christian Colon

Marlins starting Christian Colon on Sunday

Miami Marlins infielder Christian Colon is starting at second base and batting eighth on Sunday against the Pittsburgh Pirates.

What It Means:

Colon was claimed off waivers less than a month ago, but has earned playing time due to the DL stints of Adeiny Hechavarria (oblique) and Miguel Rojas (thumb). He's spelling Dee Gordon today, though, who's just getting some rest in.

The Marlins have one of the lowest implied totals (4.11 runs) on the day, but on the bright side opposing starter Ivan Nova doesn't strike a ton of batters out (13.3 percent; lowest). This still isn't a great spot-start for Colon, who our models project for just 6.6 FanDuel Points at a $2,000 salary.
