Ji-Man Choi joining Tampa Bay dugout Monday

Tampa Bay Rays first baseman/designated hitter Ji-Man Choi is not in the starting lineup for Monday's series opener against right-hander Luis Garcia and the Houston Astros.

What It Means:

Randy Arozarena (illness) will replace Choi as the designated hitter and bat cleanup. Jonathan Aranda will move over from the keystone to start on first base.

Arozarena has a $3,700 salary on Monday and numberFire’s models project him for 10.5 FanDuel points. Per our MLB Heat Map, the Rays’ implied total (3.58) is tied for No. 9 in the majors today.
