Gary Sanchez

FanDuel Salary: $2,500

Gary Sanchez sitting Wednesday for Yankees

New York Yankees catcher Gary Sanchez is not in the starting lineup for Wednesday's series finale against left-hander Taylor Hearn and the Cleveland Indians.

What It Means:

Sanchez started the first two games of the series, but he's grabbing a seat for the finale. Kyle Higashioka is catching Corey Kluber and hitting eighth.

Higashioka is numberFire’s top point-per-dollar value at the catcher position on Wednesday. Our models project him for 10.3 FanDuel points and he has a $2,000 salary on the main slate. Per our MLB Heat Map, the Yankees have an implied total of 5.5 runs. Hearn is registering a 21.9 strikeout percentage and a 9.3 walk percentage this season, with a 4.75 xERA and a .330 xwOBA.
