Luke Voit taking seat Thursday for Yankees

New York Yankees first baseman Luke Voit is not in the starting lineup for Thursday's series finale against right-hander Chris Ellis and the Baltimore Orioles.

What It Means:

Voit is taking a seat after starting the last three games. Aaron Judge is shifting to designated hitter and batting third. Joey Gallo is returning to the lineup to man right field and bat sixth. Anthony Rizzo is on first base again.

numberFire’s models project Gallo for 15.5 FanDuel points and he has a $3,100 salary on Thursday’s slate, which makes him our sixth-best point-per-dollar value among active hitters. Per our MLB Heat Map, the Yankees have the highest implied total (6.0 runs) in the majors on Thursday.
