Yuli Gurriel idle Wednesday for Houston
Houston Astros first baseman Yuli Gurriel is not in the starting lineup on Wednesday against right-hander Brad Keller and the Kansas City Royals.
What It Means:
The Astros appear to be giving Gurriel a routine breather ahead of a day game Thursday. Yordan Alvarez is taking over at designated hitter while Chas McCormick enters the lineup to play left field and hit eighth. Aledmys Diaz is making another start on first base.
numberFire’s models project McCormick for 11.5 FanDuel points on Wednesday, and he has a $2,700 salary. Per our MLB Heat Map, the Astros' implied total (4.62) is 10th out of 28 active teams.
