Giants' Madison Bumgarner scratched from start on Thursday
San Francisco Giants starting pitcher Madison Bumgarner was scratched from his scheduled start against the St. Louis Cardinals on Thursday due to flu-like symptoms.
What It Means:
No word on when Bumgarner will make his next start, so assume he will be ready to go when his turn comes up again next week. The Cardinal hitters get a boost in fantasy value as they shift from facing the Giants ace to Matt Cain and San Francisco bullpen on Thursday.
Bumgarner was the third-best projected pitcher, by our models, on Thursday's slate with 30.9 FanDuel points. Cardinals starter, Michael Wacha, was already a 52.9% favorite to win but now sees his chances of earning the win rise even higher.
