William Contreras on Braves' bench Thursday afternoon
Atlanta Braves catcher William Contreras is not in the starting lineup for Thursday afternoon's series finale against right-hander Zack Wheeler and the Philadelphia Phillies.
What It Means:
Contreras will grab a breather after catching all nine innings on Wednesday. He finished 3-for-4 with a double and an RBI. Kevan Smith will catch Ian Anderson on Thursday afternoon and hit eighth.
numberFire’s models project Smith for 7.5 FanDuel points and he has a $2,000 salary on Thursday. Per our MLB Heat Map, the Braves have the third-lowest implied total (3.5 runs) out of the 20 teams playing Thursday.
