Miguel Cabrera on Tigers' bench in Thursday matinee
Detroit Tigers designated hitter Miguel Cabrera is not in the starting lineup for Thursday afternoon's series finale against right-hander Jonathan Heasley and the Kansas City Royals.
Cabrera went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run in Wednesday's 2-1 win over the Royals. Javier Baez will take over as the Tigers' DH on Thursday and bat third. Jonathan Schoop will enter the lineup to play second base and bat fifth.
Schoop has a $2,200 salary on Thursday and numberFire’s models project him for 8.8 FanDuel points. Per our MLB Heat Map, the Tigers’ implied total is 3.91 (No. 7 in the majors today) and the game over/under is 7.5.
