Greg Allen absent from Pittsburgh lineup Friday

Pittsburgh Pirates outfielder Greg Allen is not in the starting lineup for Friday's series opener against right-hander Alek Manoah and the Toronto Blue Jays.

What It Means:

Bryan Reynolds will move to center field in place of Allen while Cal Mitchell makes a start as the designated hitter and No. 6 batter.

Reynolds is currently numberFire's fourth-best point-per-dollar value among hitters on Friday. He has a $2,600 salary and numberFire’s models project him for 13.3 FanDuel points. Per our MLB Heat Map, the Pirates’ implied total (3.43) is fourth-lowest in the majors today.
