Gregory Polanco on Pirates' bench Monday
Pittsburgh Pirates outfielder Gregory Polanco is not in the starting lineup for Monday's series opener against left-hander Jon Lester and the Washington Nationals.
What It Means:
Polanco appears to be getting a routine breather against a southpaw. Phillip Evans will start in right field over Polanco and hit fifth.
numberFire’s models project Evans for 9.2 FanDuel points and he has a $2,000 salary on Monday. Per our MLB Heat Map, the Pirates have an implied total of 4.4 runs. Lester has the second-lowest strikeout rate this season (16.2 percent) out of Monday's listed starters.
