Nico Hoerner held out for Cubs versus Brewers
Chicago Cubs infielder Nico Hoerner is not in the starting lineup for Friday afternoon's series opener against left-hander Aaron Ashby and the Milwaukee Brewers.
What It Means:
Hoerner will get a breather after starting 12 straight games. Christopher Morel will move to shortstop while Nelson Velazquez shifts to center field. Seiya Suzuki will return to right field and cleanup work.
Suzuki has a $6,000 salary on the single-game slate Friday and numberFire’s models project him for 10.3 FanDuel points in the contest. Per our MLB Heat Map, the Cubs’ implied total (4.43) is No. 9 in the majors today.
