Francisco Mejia moving to Rays' sidelines Friday
Tampa Bay Rays catcher Francisco Mejia is not in the starting lineup on Friday against right-hander Mitch White and the Toronto Blue Jays.
What It Means:
Christian Bethancourt will relieve Mejia behind the plate and bat seventh.
Bethancourt has a $2,000 salary on Friday and numberFire’s models project him for 9.6 FanDuel points. Per our MLB Heat Map, the Rays’ implied total (4.00) is No. 12 in the majors today.
