Diamondbacks' Daulton Varsho idle Monday
Arizona Diamondbacks catcher/outfielder Daulton Varsho is not in the starting lineup for Monday's series opener against left-hander Clayton Kershaw and the Los Angeles Dodgers.
What It Means:
Carson Kelly is starting at catcher over Varsho and hitting third. Henry Ramos, Ketel Marte, and Jake McCarthy are starting across Arizona's outfield.
numberFire’s models project Kelly for 9.4 FanDuel points and he has a $2,500 salary on Monday’s slate. Per our MLB Heat Map, the Diamondbacks have an implied total of 3.1 runs, which is the lowest in the majors on Monday. Kershaw is registering a 30.1 strikeout percentage and a 4.5 walk percentage (top 4% of the league) this season, with a 3.16 xERA and a .273 xwOBA.
