Jordy Mercer returns to Pirates' lineup on Friday
Pittsburgh Pirates shortstop Jordy Mercer is in the starting lineup on Friday against the Chicago Cubs.
What It Means:
Mercer gave way to Max Moroff yesterday, but he will be back in the starting lineup as Pittsburgh visits Chicago and starter Eddie Butler. He bats eighth.
It's sort of odd, but Mercer has been a righty killer this season. He's slashing .293/.361/.453 with 6 home runs and a .341 wOBA against right-handers in 2017. Against today's starter, we project the 30-year-old for 9.2 FanDuel points at $2,600 on the afternoon slate.
