Willson Contreras (knee) returns to Cubs' lineup on Friday
Chicago Cubs catcher Willson Contreras (knee) is back in the starting lineup on Friday against the Cincinnati Reds.
Contreras was held out the past two games after fouling two hard tips directly off his right knee Tuesday night. He will catch left-hander Jose Quintana and bat cleanup in tonight's series opener versus right-hander Robert Stephenson and the Reds. Alex Avila will move to first base while Victor Caratini returns to the Cubs' bench.
numberFire's models project Jay to score 13.2 FanDuel points at a cost of $3,200 on Friday, and he could be worth targeting versus Stephenson, whose 14.1 percent walk rate this season is highest among the 30 pitchers scheduled to start today.
