Nationals' Alex Call on bench Monday

Washington Nationals outfielder Alex Call is not in the starting lineup for Monday's series opener against right-hander Marcus Stroman and the Chicago Cubs.

What It Means:

Call made his Nationals debut on Sunday and went 0-for-4 with a pair of strikeouts. Yadiel Hernandez will replace Call in left field and hit cleanup. Cesar Hernandez will take over in the leadoff spot.

Yadiel has a $2,400 salary on Monday and numberFire’s models project him for 11.1 FanDuel points. Cesar has a $2,600 salary and is projected for the same amount of FanDuel points as Yadiel. Per our MLB Heat Map, the Nationals’ implied total (3.73) is No. 16 out of 26 active teams today.
