Reds' Mike Siani (head) sidelined for Wednesday matinee
Cincinnati Reds outfielder Mike Siani (head) is not in the starting lineup for Wednesday afternoon's series finale against right-hander Bryse Wilson and the Pittsburgh Pirates.
Siani exited Tuesday's game in the eighth inning after injuring his head while attempting a diving catch. He passed concussion tests afterward, but the Reds will hold the rookie out of the lineup for at least a game. Stuart Fairchild will replace Siani in center field and hit fifth on Wednesday afternoon.
Fairchild has a $6,500 salary on the single-game slate and our models project him for 11.8 FanDuel points. Per our MLB Heat Map, Wilson has the third-worst strikeout rate this season (15.5%) among Wednesday's listed starters.
