Cubs drop Anthony Rizzo to second in the bating order
Chicago Cubs first baseman Anthony Rizzo is batting second versus Gio Gonzalez and the Washington Nationals on Monday.
What It Means:
Rizzo has been the Cubs' leadoff man the last 11 games but will be bumped down a spot in the order as Joe Maddon prefers to have a righty (Willson Contreras) bat first versus southpaw Gio Gonzalez.
Rizzo is projected for the third-most FanDuel points (12.6) of any first base option on Monday, by our algorithms. His price tag is $4,100.
