Oakland Athletics catcher Stephen Vogt is not in the starting lineup for Monday's series opener against right-hander Jake Odorizzi and the Houston Astros.
Sean Murphy will catch for Adam Oller while Vogt returns to the bench. Stephen Piscotty will be the Athletics' designated hitter and Ramon Laureano will rotate to right field. Skye Bolt will replace Vogt in the order to play center field and hit eighth.
Bolt has a $2,100 salary on Monday and numberFire’s models project him for 6.1 FanDuel points. Per our MLB Heat Map, the Athletics' implied total (3.26) is tied for the lowest total out of 24 teams on Monday.
