Cincinnati Reds outfielder Aristides Aquino is not in the starting lineup for Thursday's series opener against right-hander Brandon Woodruff and the Milwaukee Brewers.
Aquino will grab a seat after going 0-for-19 with a walk and six strikeouts over the last five games. Jake Fraley will start in right field and bat cleanup while TJ Friedl shifts out to left. Jonathan India will be the Reds' designated hitter and Alejo Lopez will cover the keystone and bat sixth. Matt Reynolds will replace Aquino in the lineup to play third base and bat seventh.
Fraley has a $2,400 salary on Thursday and numberFire’s models project him for 12.5 FanDuel points. Per our MLB Heat Map, the Reds' implied total (3.40) is No. 21 out of 26 active teams today.
