Miguel Amaya absent Tuesday for Cubs

Chicago Cubs catcher Miguel Amaya is not in the lineup for Tuesday's series opener against left-hander Ranger Suarez and the Philadelphia Phillies.

What It Means:

Trey Mancini will shift to designated hitter after Amaya started in that spot last game. Cody Bellinger (illness) will return to first base and bat seventh. Yan Gomes will replace Tucker Barnhart at catcher and bat eighth.

numberFire’s models project Mancini ($2,600) for 7.0 and Bellinger ($3,200) for 7.7 FanDuel points on Tuesday. Per our MLB Heat Map, the Cubs' implied total is 4.03 and the game total is 8.5. Suarez has a 3.50 ERA and 4.33 xERA this season, with a 40.2% hard-hit rate, 23.0% strikeout rate, and 7.7% walk rate.
