Marlins' JJ Bleday absent Monday
Miami Marlins outfielder JJ Bleday is not in the starting lineup for Monday's series opener against left-hander Wade Miley and the Chicago Cubs.
What It Means:
The Marlins are taking the lefty-hitting Bleday out against the Cubs' southpaw. Jerar Encarnacion will replace Bleday in the outfield and hit ninth.
Encarnacion has a $2,300 salary on Monday and numberFire’s models project him for 9.5 FanDuel points. Per our MLB Heat Map, the Marlins’ implied total (3.70) is No. 7 in the majors today.
