Tampa Bay Rays outfielder Joey Butler will bat second Monday when the Rays face the Baltimore Orioles.
Butler was recalled from Triple-A last week and will be playing in his third game since his return.
Butler and the Rays will be squaring off against lefty Wei-Yin Chen. Butler has struck out in 25.5 percent of his plate appearances against southpaws this season, but he also sports a low 10.3 percent soft-hit rate. Chen holds a 4.01 xFIP on the season, and that sees a slight increase to 4.18 against righties. Because of this and his $2,300 price tag on FanDuel, Butler is our top-ranked outfielder in terms of value on Monday's slate.
