Lawrence Butler L. Butler

Lawrence Butler absent for Oakland Monday afternoon

Oakland Athletics infielder Lawrence Butler is not in the lineup for Monday afternoon's series opener against left-hander Carlos Rodon and the New York Yankees.

What It Means:

The left-handed hitting Butler will take a seat against a southpaw. Tyler Nevin will replace Butler in right field and hit second.

numberFire's models project Nevin for 9.1 FanDuel points on Monday. Per our MLB Heat Map, the Athletics have the worst implied total (3.21) in the majors today.
