Martin Maldonado on Houston bench for Wednesday matinee
Houston Astros catcher Martin Maldonado is not in the starting lineup for Wednesday afternoon's game against right-hander Carlos Carrasco and the New York Mets.
What It Means:
Maldonado is out of the order for the second time in three games after he caught all nine innings of Tuesday's 8-2 win over the Mets. The veteran backstop went 0-for-3 with a walk and a pair of strikeouts. Jason Castro is starting on Wednesday and hitting eighth.
numberFire’s models project Castro for 7.5 FanDuel points on Wednesday, and he has a $2,000 salary. Per our MLB Heat Map, the Astros’ implied total (4.26) is tied for 14th in the majors on Wednesday.
