Raimel Tapia taking seat Thursday for Toronto

Toronto Blue Jays outfielder Raimel Tapia is not in the starting lineup for Thursday afternoon's series finale against left-hander Shane McClanahan and the Tampa Bay Rays.

What It Means:

Whit Merrifield will replace Tapia in left field and hit seventh.

Merrifield has a $2,000 salary on Thursday and numberFire’s models project him for 6.9 FanDuel points. Per our MLB Heat Map, the Blue Jays' implied total (3.68) is No. 10 in the majors out of 16 active teams today.
