Braves' William Contreras batting second Monday
The Atlanta Braves listed William Contreras as their starter in left field for Monday's game against the Philadelphia Phillies.
What It Means:
The Braves will try Contreras and his hot bat in left field for tonight's contest, placing him second in the batting order as well. Marcell Ozuna will take a turn at designated hitter, Ronald Acuna Jr. will move to right field, and Travis Demeritte will take a seat.
Contreras, who has a $2,100 salary on FanDuel for today's contests, has only made 38 plate appearances so far this season, but could see increased opportunities if his hot streak continues. He's batting .242 with a 1.130 OPS and has 6 home runs, 9 runs, 9 RBI, and 1 stolen base already this season.
