Baltimore Orioles catcher Robinson Chirinos is not in the starting lineup for Thursday's series opener against right-hander Justin Verlander and the Houston Astros.
Adley Rutschman will start behind the dish while Chirinos takes a seat. Anthony Santander will work as the Orioles' designated hitter and cleanup man.
Rutschman has a $3,100 salary on Thursday and numberFire’s models project him for 10.8 FanDuel points. Per our MLB Heat Map, the Orioles’ implied total (3.00) is the second-lowest in the majors today.
