Alex Avila starting at catcher on Friday for Detroit

Detroit Tigers catcher Detroit Tigers Alex Avila is back in the starting lineup for Friday's matchup with the Minnesota Twins.

What It Means:

After an off day Thursday, Avila will be back catching and hitting second for the Tigers against righty Ervin Santana. James McCann will return to the Detroit bench tonight.

Avila has all 12 his home runs as well as a .408 wOBA against right-handed pitching this season. Accordingly, he's projected for 12.1 FanDuel points at $2,600 tonight.
