Nolan Gorman grabbing seat Thursday for Cardinals

St. Louis Cardinals infielder Nolan Gorman is not in the starting lineup for Thursday afternoon's series finale against right-hander Josiah Gray and the Washington Nationals.

What It Means:

Brendan Donovan will move to second base in place of Gorman while Albert Pujols enters the lineup as the designated hitter and No. 6 batter.

Per numberFire's MLB Heat Map, the Cardinals have the highest implied total (4.53) in the majors today. Pujols has a $2,400 salary on Thursday and our models project him for 11.6 FanDuel points.
