Josh VanMeter sitting Tuesday for Arizona
Arizona Diamondbacks infielder Josh VanMeter is not in the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against left-hander Blake Snell and the San Diego Padres.
What It Means:
VanMeter is taking a seat for the second time in the last three games, with both games coming against starting southpaws. Drew Ellis is replacing VanMeter on third base and batting seventh.
numberFire’s models project Ellis for 6.7 FanDuel points and he has a $2,700 salary on Tuesday’s slate. Per our MLB Heat Map, the Diamondbacks have an implied total of 3.6 runs. Snell is registering a 29.7 strikeout percentage and a 13.0 walk percentage this season (bottom 8% of the league), with a 5.36 xERA and a .349 xwOBA.
