Ildemaro Vargas idle Friday for Nationals
Washington Nationals infielder Ildemaro Vargas is not in the starting lineup for Friday's series opener against left-hander Braxton Garrett and the Miami Marlins.
What It Means:
The Nationals appear to be giving Vargas a breather. Cesar Hernandez will replace Vargas on third base and bat second. Luis Garcia will be four spots lower and hit sixth.
Hernandez has a $2,200 salary on Friday and numberFire’s models project him for 10.0 FanDuel points. Per our MLB Heat Map, the Nationals’ implied total (3.34) is sixth-lowest in the majors today.
