Detroit Tigers outfielder Austin Meadows is not in the starting lineup for Thursday's series opener against left-hander Martin Perez and the Texas Rangers.
The Tigers appear to be giving Meadows some routine maintenance on Thursday. Robbie Grossman is replacing Meadows in left field and hitting fifth. Willie Castro is in center field and batting second.
numberFire’s models project Grossman for 10.1 FanDuel points on Thursday, and he has a $2,300 salary. Per our MLB Heat Map, the Tigers have the seventh-lowest implied total (3.84) out of the 18 active teams.
