Austin Barnes catching for Dodgers on Thursday afternoon

Los Angeles Dodgers catcher Austin Barnes is batting ninth in Thursday's lineup against the Cincinnati Reds.

What It Means:

Barnes will take over behind the plate after Will Smith was named Thursday's designated hitter, Max Muncy was moved to second base, Gavin Lux was shifted to left, Chris Taylor was aligned in right, and Eddy Alvarez was benched.

In a matchup against right-hander Hunter Greene, our models project Barnes to score 11.0 FanDuel points at the salary of $2,000.
