Kolten Wong playing second base for St. Louis on Friday

St. Louis Cardinals second baseman Kolten Wong is starting on Friday against the Chicago Cubs on Friday afternoon.

What It Means:

After being held out of Thursday's lineup versus Cincinnati Reds southpaw Amir Garrett, the left-handed hitting Wong will be back on second base and batting seventh in today's series opener against right-hander John Lackey and the Cubs. Alex Mejia will return to the Cardinals' bench.

Despite a strong park factor (1.025), the Cardinals have an implied total (4.19 runs) that doesn't offer too much fantasy appeal on Friday. numberFire's models project Wong to score 8.2 FanDuel points at a cost of $3,400.
