Athletics' Lawrence Butler on bench Wednesday afternoon
Oakland Athletics infielder Lawrence Butler is not in the lineup for Wednesday afternoon's series finale against left-hander Steven Matz and the St. Louis Cardinals.
What It Means:
The left-handed hitting Butler will take a seat against a southpaw. Tyler Nevin will move to right field and hit second, while Abraham Toro will shift to designated hitter and bat fifth. Darell Hernaiz will man third base and bat sixth. Nick Allen will start at shortstop and hit eighth.
numberFire's models project Nevin for 7.4 FanDuel points on Wednesday. Per our MLB Heat Map, the Athletics' implied total (3.80) is No. 26 in the majors today.
