Brett Gardner hitting second Monday afternoon for Yankees
New York Yankees outfielder Brett Gardner is in the starting lineup for Monday afternoon's game against right-hander John Gant and the Minnesota Twins.
What It Means:
Gardner was held out of Sunday's lineup versus the New York Mets, but he wound up coming in to replace Aaron Judge (dizziness) and finished 0-for-3 with a pair of strikeouts. Gardner is batting second and starting in center field in Monday's matinee. Judge is in right and Joey Gallo is in left while Giancarlo Stanton serves as the Yankees' designated hitter.
numberFire’s models project Gardner for 9.9 FanDuel points and he has a $4,500 salary on Monday’s slate. Per our MLB Heat Map, the Yankees have an implied total of 5.7 runs. Gant is registering a 19.5 strikeout percentage and a 14.6 walk percentage (bottom 3% of the league) this season, with a 5.12 xERA and a .341 xwOBA.
