Leury Garcia absent from White Sox's lineup versus Dodgers

Chicago White Sox outfielder Leury Garcia is not in the starting lineup for Thursday afternoon's series finale against left-hander Tyler Anderson and the Los Angeles Dodgers.

What It Means:

Garcia is back on the bench after leading off and playing second base on Wednesday. Danny Mendick is moving into the leadoff role while Josh Harrison replaces Garcia on second base and bats ninth.

Mendick has a $2,300 salary on Thursday and numberFire's models project him for 9.3 FanDuel points. Per our MLB Heat Map, Anderson has the lowest walk rate this season (2.7%) out of Thursday's 22 listed starters.
