Washington Nationals infielder Maikel Franco is in the starting lineup for Monday's series opener against right-hander Max Scherzer and the New York Mets.
Franco will replace Ehire Adrianza on third base and bat ninth. The Nationals traded Adrianza to the Atlanta Braves earlier Monday.
Franco has a $2,200 salary on Monday and numberFire’s models project him for 7.3 FanDuel points. Per our MLB Heat Map, the Nationals’ implied total (3.36) is third-lowest out of 20 active teams Monday.
