Willson Contreras on Cubs' bench Wednesday
Chicago Cubs catcher Willson Contreras is not in the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against rookie right-hander Joe Ryan and the Minnesota Twins.
What It Means:
Contreras went 2-for-3 and hit his 21st home run of the season on Tuesday, but he's out of the lineup for the second time in the last three games. Robinson Chirinos is catching Kyle Hendricks and hitting sixth Wednesday.
numberFire’s models project Chirinos for 11.8 FanDuel points and he has a $2,500 salary on Wednesday’s slate. Per our MLB Heat Map, the Cubs have an implied total of 3.4 runs, which is second-lowest in the majors on Wednesday. Through Ryan's first 17 innings in the majors, he is registering a 23.3 strikeout percentage and a 3.3 walk percentage this season, with a 2.52 xERA and a .244 xwOBA.
