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.
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.
