Mets' Rene Rivera starting at catcher against the Cardinals

New York Mets catcher Rene Rivera is in the starting lineup for Thursday's home game against the St. Louis Cardinals.

What It Means:

Travis d'Arnaud started behind the plate on Wednesday, but Rivera will be back in the lineup and is batting eighth against Cardinals' right-hander Lance Lynn this afternoon.

Rivera has struggled to the tune of a .299 wOBA this season, and batting near the bottom of the order while the Mets' boast a mediocre 4.50 implied total leaves him offering very weak fantasy value with a $2,600 price-tag on FanDuel.
