Christopher Morel moving to Cubs bench Monday

Chicago Cubs infielder Christopher Morel is not in the lineup for Monday's series opener against right-hander Alex Faedo and the Detroit Tigers.

What It Means:

Morel started the past 13 games at designated hitter for the Cubs and will take a breather after he went 2-for-23 and struck out eight times over the last six games. Ian Happ will shift to DH on Monday in place of Morel.

numberFire’s models project Happ ($3,200) for 11.4 FanDuel points on Monday. Per our MLB Heat Map, the Cubs' implied total is 4.63 and the game total is 9.0. Faedo has a 5.16 ERA and 4.06 xERA in his second season in the bigs, with a 35.9% hard-hit rate, 22.7% strikeout rate, and 6.1% walk rate.
