Joey Wendle joining Rays' bench Tuesday
Tampa Bay Rays infielder Joey Wendle is not in the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against left-hander John Means and the Baltimore Orioles.
What It Means:
Wendle is grabbing a seat after starting the last two contests. Wander Franco will replace Wendle on the hot corner and hit second. Franco will be bookended by Yandy Diaz and Austin Meadows in the Rays' order.
numberFire’s models project Franco for 11.2 FanDuel points and he has a $2,600 salary on Tuesday. Per our MLB Heat Map, the Rays have an implied total of 4.3 runs. Means is registering a 25.7 strikeout percentage with a 4.9 walk percentage this season. The Rays have the third-worst strikeout rate in the majors against southpaws.
