Sheldon Neuse (groin) back in Athletics' lineup Wednesday

Oakland Athletics infielder Sheldon Neuse (groin) is back in the starting lineup for Wednesday afternoon's series finale against right-hander Sonny Gray and the Minnesota Twins.

What It Means:

Neuse missed the past three games due to groin tightness. He is replacing Jed Lowrie at designated hitter and batting second on Wednesday afternoon.

numberFire’s models project Neuse for 8.8 FanDuel points on Wednesday, and he has a $2,900 salary. Per our MLB Heat Map, the Athletics have the sixth-lowest implied total (3.12) on the All Day slate.
