Austin Slater riding pine for Giants Thursday
The San Francisco Giants did not include Austin Slater in their lineup for Thursday's game against the Arizona Diamondbacks.
Slater will take a seat on the bench today as the Giants have Mike Yastrzemski cover right field and bat seventh against right-hander Ryne Nelson.
Slater is off to a rough start, batting just .133 across 19 plate appearances. Hopefully the day off will help the veteran refocus as the season kicks into full gear.
Giants' Mike Yastrzemski hitting seventh Thursday
Mike Yastrzemski will start in right field for the San Francisco Giants in Thursday's game against the Arizona Diamondbacks.
Yastrzemski will bat seventh against Diamondbacks right-hander Ryne Nelson and is listed as the Giants' starting right fielder. Austin Slater will take the evening off.
Yastrzemski is projected for 9.6 FanDuel points against Nelson, who has pitched to a 5.27 ERA through his first three games.
Tyler Fitzgerald sitting Thursday for San Francisco
The San Francisco Giants did not list Tyler Fitzgerald in their lineup for Thursday's game against the Arizona Diamondbacks.
Fitzgerald will take the evening off as the Giants bring in Michael Conforto's left-handed bat to take on Arizona righty Ryne Nelson. Conforto will bat cleanup and play in left field.
Fitzgerald hasn't seen a ton of action this year, but is making his limited opportunities count. Through 17 plate appearances, he's batting .333 and has stolen 4 bases.
Michael Conforto batting cleanup for Giants Thursday
The San Francisco Giants will have Michael Conforto play in left field in Thursday's game against the Arizona Diamondbacks.
Conforto is back in the lineup for Thursday's series opener with the Diamondbacks. He'll bat fourth and play in left field while Tyler Fitzgerald takes a seat.
Conforto is projected for 12 FanDuel points in tonight's game against Arizona. He has enjoyed a hot start to the season, with 4 home runs and a .897 OPS through his first 70 plate appearances.
Wilmer Flores not in Giants' Thursday lineup
The San Francisco Giants will not start Wilmer Flores against the Arizona Diamondbacks on Thursday.
Flores will take the evening off as the Giants work LaMonte Wade Jr.'s left-handed bat into the lineup to take on righty pitcher Ryne Nelson. Wade Jr. will cover first base.
Our model has Flores making 448 more plate appearances this season, with 19 homers, 51 runs, 57 RBI, and a .252 batting average.
Giants' LaMonte Wade Jr. hitting second Thursday
The San Francisco Giants will have LaMonte Wade Jr. start at first base in Thursday's game against the Arizona Diamondbacks.
Wade Jr. will start at first base and bat second against Diamondbacks right-hander Ryne Nelson. With Wade Jr. taking over at first base, Wilmer Flores will take the night off.
Our model projects Wade Jr. for 10.3 FanDuel points against the Diamondbacks. Nelson has struggled to a 5.27 ERA this season, allowing a subpar 1.61 WHIP through his first three starts.
