Willson Contreras moves down to seventh in the Cubs' batting order
Chicago Cubs catcher Willson Contreras has moved down to seventh in the batting order against the San Diego Padres on Wednesday.
What It Means:
Contreras started in left field and was batting third on Tuesday, but with Schwarber returning in left he'll move back behind the plate, sending Miguel Montero to the bench for this afternoon's matchup with Padres' righty Miguel Diaz.
Contreras has only managed a .293 wOBA against right-handed pitching this season, but Diaz has an ugly 5.10 SIERA in 2017, and numberFire's models project Contreras for 10.0 FanDuel points this afternoon.
