Paul DeJong sitting Thursday for St. Louis
St. Louis Cardinals infielder Paul DeJong is not in the starting lineup for Thursday's series opener against right-hander Mitch Keller and the Pittsburgh Pirates.
What It Means:
DeJong is out of the lineup for the third time in the last five games. Edmundo Sosa is covering shortstop while Tommy Edman moves to second base. Lars Nootbaar is entering the lineup to play left field and hit sixth while Dylan Carlson slides over to right.
numberFire’s models project Nootbaar for 10.2 FanDuel points and he has a $2,100 salary on Thursday’s slate. Per our MLB Heat Map, the Cardinals have an implied total of 4.7 runs. Keller is registering a 20.9 strikeout percentage and an 11.1 walk percentage this season, with a 5.65 xERA and a 3.57 xwOBA.
