Tigers' John Hicks starting at catcher

Detroit Tigers catcher John Hicks is in the starting lineup for Wednesday's home game against the Oakland Athletics.

What It Means:

James McCann is getting a breather this afternoon, and Hicks will handle catching duties while batting seventh against Oakland righty Daniel Mengden.

Hicks is priced at minimum-salary ($2,000) on FanDuel today, and numberFire's models have him as an elite daily fantasy value, projecting him for 10.0 fantasy points in this one.
