Francisco Cervelli

Francisco Cervelli (illness) returns for Pirates Tuesday

Pittsburgh Pirates catcher Francisco Cervelli (illness) is starting on Tuesday versus the Kansas City Royals.

What It Means:

Cervelli was scratched from Monday's lineup due to an illness but is apparently better now. He will catch right-hander Jameson Taillon and bat out of the cleanup spot versus Royals lefty Eric Skoglund. Jacob Stallings will be available off the bench.

numberFire's models project Cervelli to score 9.8 FanDuel points at a cost of $3,000 on Tuesday.
