Sergio Alcantara (ankle) sitting Tuesday for Cubs
Chicago Cubs infielder Sergio Alcantara (ankle) is not starting in Tuesday's game against right-hander John Gant and the Minnesota Twins.
What It Means:
Alcantara exited Sunday's game early with an ankle issue. X-rays came back negative, but he's still out of the lineup following Monday's off day. Andrew Romine is starting at shortstop and hitting ninth Tuesday night.
numberFire’s models project Romine for 5.8 FanDuel points and he has a $2,000 salary on Tuesday’s slate. Per our MLB Heat Map, the Cubs have an implied total of 4.4 runs. Gant is registering an 18.4 strikeout percentage and a 15.0 walk percentage (bottom 2% of the league) this season, with a 5.43 xERA and a .351 xwOBA.
