Elvis Andrus back in Athletics' lineup Monday night

Oakland Athletics infielder Elvis Andrus is back in the starting lineup for Monday's series opener against left-hander Marco Gonzales and the Seattle Mariners.

What It Means:

Andrus was given a routine breather on Sunday. He is back at shortstop and the bottom of the Athletics' order for Monday's matchup. Josh Harrison is shifting to second base in place of an idle Tony Kemp and hitting seventh.

numberFire’s models project Andrus for 6.6 FanDuel points and he has a $2,400 salary on Monday’s slate. Harrison is projected for 9.5 FanDuel points and has a $2,700 salary. Per our MLB Heat Map, the Athletics have an implied total of 4.5 runs. Brown is registering a 19.7 strikeout percentage and a 7.7 walk percentage this season, with a 5.77 xERA and a .360 xwOBA, the latter two of which both rank in the bottom nine percent of the league.
