Nick Maton absent from Phillies' lineup Thursday

Philadelphia Phillies infielder Nick Maton is not in the starting lineup for Thursday's series opener against right-hander Justin Dunn and the Cincinnati Reds.

What It Means:

Kyle Schwarber will shift to left field in place of Maton and Nick Castellanos will start at designated hitter. Bradley Zimmer will replace Maton in the lineup to play center field and bat eighth. Matt Vierling will cover right field as he makes a third straight start.

Zimmer has a $2,100 salary on Thursday and numberFire's models project him to score 7.8 FanDuel points. Per our MLB Heat Map, the Phillies have the highest implied total (5.44) in the majors on Thursday.
