Andres Blanco

Andres Blanco starting at third base on Monday for Philadelphia

Philadelphia Phillies infielder Andres Blanco is starting against the Pittsburgh Pirates on Monday.

What It Means:

This will be Blanco's first start since June 6. He's manning second base and batting sixth against Pirates right-hander Ivan Nova. Aaron Altherr and Ty Kelly are on the Phillies' bench.

The Phillies only have an implied total of 4.39 runs in a game with a low expected total (8.5), so they don't offer too much fantasy appeal. Blanco is projected for 8.4 FanDuel points at a cost of $2,000 on Monday.
