Nelson Cruz (neck) still idle for Washington on Friday
Washington Nationals outfielder Nelson Cruz (neck) is not in the starting lineup again on Friday versus right-hander Kyle Gibson and the Philadelphia Phillies.
What It Means:
Cruz was also held out the past two games due to neck stiffness. Luke Voit will be the Nationals' designated hitter while Joey Meneses starts on first base and bats eighth.
Meneses has a $2,000 salary on Friday and numberFire’s models project him for 5.6 FanDuel points. Voit has a $3,200 salary and is projected for 11.3 FanDuel points. Per our MLB Heat Map, the Nationals’ implied total (3.86) is No. 22 on Friday's Main slate.
