Dylan Carlson sitting Thursday for St. Louis

St. Louis Cardinals outfielder Dylan Carlson is not in the starting lineup for Thursday's series finale against right-hander Joe Musgrove and the San Diego Padres.

What It Means:

Lars Nootbaar will replace Carlson in center field and hit ninth.

Nootbaar has a $2,800 salary on Thursday and numberFire’s models project him for 9.4 FanDuel points. Per our MLB Heat Map, the Cardinals' implied total (3.44) is No. 20 out of 26 active teams today.
