Michael Chavis M. Chavis

Michael Chavis returns to Nationals bench Tuesday

Washington Nationals infielder Michael Chavis is not in the lineup versus right-hander Yu Darvish and the San Diego Padres in Tuesday's series opener.

What It Means:

Chavis will move back to the bench after making a rare start last game. Luis Garcia will return to second base and the two-hole for the Nationals.

numberFire’s models project Garcia ($2,800) for 7.0 FanDuel points on Tuesday. Per our MLB Heat Map, the Nationals' implied total is 3.68 and the game total is 8.0. Through eight starts this season, Darvish owns a 3.77 SIERA, 27.2% strikeout rate, and 8.2% walk rate.
