Jarrod Dyson

Jarrod Dyson on Royals' bench Wednesday afternoon

Kansas City Royals outfielder Jarrod Dyson is not in the starting lineup for Wednesday afternoon's series finale against right-hander Lance McCullers and the Houston Astros.

What It Means:

Dyson went 0-for-2 with a walk and a stolen base in Tuesday's 4-0 loss to Houston. Ryan O'Hearn is moving to right field Wednesday while Hunter Dozier shifts to first base in place of Carlos Santana (hip). Salvador Perez is at designated hitter while Cam Gallagher catches for Mike Minor and bats ninth.

numberFire’s models project O'Hearn for 8.1 FanDuel points and he has a $2,400 salary on Wednesday’s slate. Per our MLB Heat Map, the Royals have an implied total of 3.2 runs, which is currently lowest on the board. McCullers is registering a 27.9 strikeout percentage and a 10.9 walk percentage this season, with an xSLG (.308) that ranks in the top 8% of the league.
