Alika Williams absent for Pirates Thursday afternoon

Pittsburgh Pirates infielder Alika Williams is not in the lineup again for Thursday afternoon's series finale against right-hander Josiah Gray and the Washington Nationals.

What It Means:

Williams is absent for a second consecutive game. Liover Peguero will start at shortstop and hit sixth on Thursday afternoon.

numberFire’s models project Peguero ($2,700) for 10.3 FanDuel points on Thursday. Per our MLB Heat Map, the Pirates' implied total is 4.66 and the game total is 8.5. Gray is hiding a 5.14 xERA behind his 4.13 ERA this season, with a weak 19.5% strikeout rate and high 12.0% walk rate (bottom 8th percentile).
