Gabriel Arias absent for Cleveland Wednesday afternoon

Cleveland Guardians outfielder Gabriel Arias is not in the lineup for Wednesday afternoon's series finale against right-hander Zack Greinke and the Kansas City Royals.

What It Means:

Arias has hit safely in five straight appearances, but he will take a seat for the day game after a night game. Jose Tena will replace Arias at shortstop and hit eighth.

numberFire’s models project Tena ($2,100) for 5.0 FanDuel points on Wednesday. Per our MLB Heat Map, the Guardians' implied total is 4.60 and the game total is 8.5. Greinke's 3.7% walk rate is in the top 98th percentile of the league this season, but his 15.7% strikeout rate is in the bottom 6th. The veteran also has an ugly 5.18 xERA and .290 xBA in his 20th season.
