Aaron Altherr moved up to third in Phillies' order
Philadelphia Phillies outfielder Aaron Altherr will bat third on Friday versus the San Diego Padres.
What It Means:
Altherr hit fifth on Thursday, but he's up a couple spots to third in tonight's series opener against left-hander Clayton Richard and the Padres. Maikel Franco and Tommy Joseph were bumped down to fourth and fifth, respectively, as manager Pete Mackanin shuffled things around a little bit on Friday.
numberFire's models project Altherr to score 10.2 FanDuel points at a cost of $3,100 on Friday. He could have decent upside against Richard, who owns just a 16.3 strikeout percentage this season.
