Texas Rangers outfielder Leody Taveras (undisclosed) is not in the lineup for Thursday's series finale against right-hander Kevin Gausman and the Toronto Blue Jays.
Taveras was scratched on Wednesday for an unknown reason and he remains out for the series finale. Evan Carter will cover center field and hit ninth again.
numberFire’s models project Carter ($2,500) for 7.1 FanDuel points on Thursday. Per our MLB Heat Map, the Rangers' implied total is 3.44, the lowest of the day, and the game total is 7.5. Gausman has the best strikeout rate this season (31.5%) among Thursday's projected starters.
