Rafael Ortega resting Thursday for Cubs
Chicago Cubs outfielder Rafael Ortega is not in the starting lineup for Thursday afternoon's series finale against right-hander Hunter Greene and the Cincinnati Reds.
What It Means:
Ortega is taking a seat after starting the previous four games. Christopher Morel is moving out to center field while Jonathan Villar returns to the lineup to play second base and bat ninth.
Morel is currently numberFire's best point-per-dollar value among hitters on Thursday. He has a $2,000 salary and our models project him for 14.6 FanDuel points.
