Addison Russell (shoulder) returns to Cubs' lineup
Chicago Cubs shortstop Addison Russell is in the starting lineup on Thursday versus the Washington Nationals.
What It Means:
Russell hasn't started since Sunday due to discomfort in his right shoulder. He's starting at shortstop and hitting fifth in the Cubs' order against right-hander Joe Ross and the Washington Nationals. Javier Baez is on second base with Ian Happ in right field and Mark Zagunis out of the lineup.
numberFire's models project Russell to score 9.7 FanDuel points at a cost of $2,800 on Thursday, making him an attractive DFS option despite Ross' low 4.8 walk percentage this season.
