Cubs' Willson Contreras getting Wednesday off
Chicago Cubs catcher Willson Contreras is not in the starting lineup for Wednesday afternoon's series finale against right-hander Yu Darvish and the San Diego Padres.
What It Means:
Contreras will take a breather for Wednesday's matinee after he hit his 10th home run of the season on Tuesday night. P.J. Higgins will catch Jake Arrieta and bat eighth.
numberFire’s models project Higgins for 6.1 FanDuel points and he has a $2,000 salary on Wednesday. Per our MLB Heat Map, the Cubs have an implied total of 3.3 runs.
