Tampa Bay Rays infielder Richie Palacios is not in the lineup for Monday's series opener against left-hander Tarik Skubal and the Detroit Tigers.
The left-handed hitting Palacios will take a seat against Detroit's southpaw. Amed Rosario will move to left field and bat leadoff Monday for the Rays, while Yandy Diaz will move down a spot for the first time this season.
numberFire's models project Rosario for 11.2 and Diaz for 8.4 FanDuel points on Monday. Per our MLB Heat Map, the Rays' implied total (3.69) is fourth-worst in the majors today, while the game total (7.5) is tied for the lowest on the board.
