Chicago Cubs outfielder Mike Tauchman is not in the lineup for Friday afternoon's series finale against left-hander A.J. Puk and the Miami Marlins.
The left-handed hitting Tauchman will take a seat against a southpaw pitcher. Patrick Wisdom, who was activated from the injured list on Thursday, will replace Tauchman in right field and bat second in his season debut.
numberFire's models project Wisdom to lead Friday's matinee with 12.2 FanDuel points. He has a $4,000 salary and is also our top value on the single-game slate. Per our MLB Heat Map, the Cubs currently have the third-best implied total (5.23) in the majors today.
