Rio Ruiz resting for Orioles against Mariners

Baltimore Orioles infielder Rio Ruiz is not in the starting lineup for Wednesday afternoon's series finale against left-hander Yusei Kikuchi and the Seattle Mariners.

What It Means:

Pat Valaika will start on second base and bat seventh. Ruiz appears to be getting a routine breather.

numberFire’s models project Valaika for 7.8 FanDuel points and he has a $2,000 salary on Wednesday. Per our MLB Heat Map, the Orioles have an implied total of 3.7 runs.
