Ryan McKenna sitting Thursday for Orioles

Baltimore Orioles outfielder Ryan McKenna is not in the starting lineup for Thursday afternoon's series finale against right-hander Nathan Eovaldi and the Boston Red Sox.

What It Means:

McKenna went 2-for-2 with a double and a walk as the Orioles' leadoff man in Wednesday's loss to the Red Sox, but he's heading back to the bench a day later. Cedric Mullins will relieve McKenna of center field and leadoff duties on Thursday afternoon.

Mullins has a $3,200 salary on Thursday and numberFire’s models project him for 13.9 FanDuel points. Per our MLB Heat Map, the Orioles' implied total is 4.14 (No. 6 in the majors today) and the over/under for the game (9.0) is the highest on the board.
