Jonathan Villar on Cubs' bench Tuesday
Chicago Cubs infielder Jonathan Villar is not in the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against right-hander Roansy Contreras and the Pittsburgh Pirates.
The Cubs appear to be giving Villar a routine breather. Andrelton Simmons is replacing Villar at second base and batting eighth.
numberFire’s models project Simmons for 8.5 FanDuel points on Tuesday, and he has a $2,200 salary. Per our MLB Heat Map, the Cubs’ implied total (4.08) is tied for 17th out of the 26 teams available on the Main slate.
