P. Sandoval 3B

Giants' Pablo Sandoval replaces Buster Posey (back) as designated hitter

San Francisco Giants first baseman Pablo Sandoval has moved into the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the Los Angeles Angels.

What It Means:

Buster Posey (back) was a late scratch, and Sandoval will replaces him as the DH while batting cleanup against Angels righty Garrett Richards.

Sandoval has averaged only 3.6 FanDuel points per game to open the 2018 season.

Buster Posey (back) a late scratch for the Giants on Saturday

San Francisco Giants catcher Buster Posey has been scratched for Saturday's game against the Los Angeles Angels.

What It Means:

A. Rendon 3B/2B

Nationals' Anthony Rendon (toe) available off the bench on Saturday

Washington Nationals infielder Anthony Rendon (toe) is not in the starting lineup, but is available to play against the Los Angeles Dodgers on Saturday.

What It Means:

Rendon has been sidelined since fouling a ball off his toe on April 13, and the possibility that he pinch-hits tonight makes it unlikely that the Nats have any plans of placing him on the disabled list.

Rendon has averaged 8.4 FanDuel points per game to open the 2018 season.

M. Kemp RF

Matt Kemp is back in the Dodgers' lineup on Saturday

Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder Matt Kemp is in the lineup, batting sixth versus the Washington Nationals.

What It Means:

Kemp got a day off on Friday but is right back in action Saturday as he starts in left field, sending Joc Pederson over to center and Chris Taylor to second base to fill in for Chase Utley, who is getting the night off.

Our models project Kemp for 8.2 FanDuel points while costing $2,500 on Saturday night.
