Didi Gregorius (elbow) out Thursday for Phillies

Philadelphia Phillies shortstop Didi Gregorius (elbow) is not in the lineup Thursday against left-hander Patrick Corbin and the Washington Nationals.

What It Means:

Gregorius made an early exit from Wednesday's game due to right elbow stiffness and it's not clear how much time he's expected to miss. It's possible the veteran will be available off the bench in Thursday's matinee. Nick Maton will start at shortstop in place of Gregorius and hit eighth.

numberFire’s models project Maton for 10.8 FanDuel points and he has a $2,000 salary on Thursday. He is our fourth -best point-per-dollar option among all active hitters. Per our MLB Heat Map, the Phillies have an implied total of 4.0 runs. Corbin owns the third-lowest strikeout rate (15.3 percent) and third-highest walk rate (10.7 percent) among Thursday's listed starters.
