A.J. Ellis catching for the Padres against Oakland

San Diego Padres catcher A.J. Ellis is in the starting lineup for Wednesday's home game against the Oakland Athletics.

What It Means:

Ellis got the day off for Tuesday's series-opener, but he'll be back behind the dish while batting eighth against A's righty Frankie Montas this afternoon. His return sends Raffy Lopez back to the bench.

numberFire's models project Ellis to score 88.1 fantasy points while he's priced at $2,400 on FanDuel on Wednesday.
