Heston Kjerstad H. Kjerstad

Heston Kjerstad on Baltimore bench Thursday

Baltimore Orioles outfielder Heston Kjerstad is not in the lineup for Thursday's series opener against right-hander Hunter Gaddis and the Cleveland Guardians.

What It Means:

Kjerstad will sit after starting the past three games at designated hitter. Anthony Santander will take over at DH on Thursday and Aaron Hicks (hamstring) will return to right field.

numberFire’s models project Santander ($3,300) for 12.4 and Hicks ($2,600) for 7.2 FanDuel points on Thursday. Per our MLB Heat Map, the Orioles' implied total is 4.38 and the game total is 8.0. Gaddis has a poor 13.5% strikeout rate and middling 4.23 xERA behind his 4.85 ERA across 39 innings this season.
