Cubs' Ben Zobrist moves down to fifth in the batting order
Chicago Cubs utility man Ben Zobrist will bat fifth against the Cincinnati Reds on Thursday.
What It Means:
Zobrist was hitting leadoff with Jon Jay out of the lineup on Wednesday, but Jay is back in action this afternoon, sending Zobrist down in the order in a matchup with Reds' right-hander Scott Feldman.
Zobrist has an uninspiring .313 wOBA against right-handed pitching this season, and with the move down in the order he doesn't have much fantasy appeal with his $2,800 price-tag on FanDuel.
