Ji-Man Choi joining Rays' bench Friday

Tampa Bay Rays first baseman Ji-Man Choi is not in the starting lineup on Friday against right-hander Mitch White and the Toronto Blue Jays.

What It Means:

Jonathan Aranda will cover first base in place of Choi while Isaac Paredes enters the lineup to play third base and hit sixth.

Aranda has a $2,600 salary on Friday and numberFire’s models project him for 9.7 FanDuel points. Per our MLB Heat Map, the Rays’ implied total (4.00) is No. 12 in the majors today.
