Miguel Cabrera out of Tigers' lineup on Wednesday
Detroit Tigers first baseman Miguel Cabrera is out of the starting lineup Wednesday. Alex Avila will bat seventh and get the start at first against right hander Yovani Gallardo and the Texas Rangers.
What It Means:
While Avila has struggled to generate any offense this year, hitting .192/.341/.291 with a 31% strikeout rate, he has managed a .311 wOBA aganist right handed pitching. Don't expect Avila to set the world on fire with his bat tonight, but Gallardo has a 4.65 xFIP against lefties, and Avila could make for an interesting punt play on FanDuel.
