Randal Grichuk resting for Blue Jays Thursday afternoon

Toronto Blue Jays center fielder Randal Grichuk is not in the lineup for Thursday afternoon's series finale against right-hander Charlie Morton and the Atlanta Braves.

What It Means:

Grichuk had hit safely in 10-of-11 games but he's hitless with 5 strikeouts over the last three. Jonathan Davis will bat seventh Thursday and start in center field while Grichuk grabs a seat. Cavan Biggio has been moved up to fifth in the order.

numberFire’s models project Davis for 8.1 FanDuel points and he has a $2,000 salary on Thursday. Per our MLB Heat Map, the Blue Jays have an implied total of 3.8 runs. Morton owns a 26.5 strikeout percentage for the season.
