Cesar Hernandez sitting Tuesday for Nationals

Washington Nationals infielder Cesar Hernandez is not in the lineup for Tuesday's series opener against left-hander Cole Irvin and the Oakland Athletics.

What It Means:

Luis Garcia will replace Hernandez on second base and bat sixth. Lane Thomas will take over as the leadoff man.

Garcia has a $2,200 salary on Tuesday and numberFire’s models project him for 9.4 FanDuel points. Per our MLB Heat Map, the Nationals’ implied total (4.27) is No. 10 out of the 30 active teams today.
