Lonnie Chisenhall L. Chisenhall

Lonnie Chisenhall scratched from Indians' lineup due to sore calves, Rajai Davis draws start Wednesday

Cleveland Indians right fielder Lonnie Chisenhall was scratched from Wednesday's lineup against the Chicago White Sox due to soreness in both calves.

What It Means:

Chisenhall missed almost two months earlier in the season with a right calf strain, so this could send him back on the shelf. Tyler Naquin will now cover right field for the Indians and bat eight versus White Sox right-hander Reynaldo Lopez while Rajai Davis has drawn the start in center and will bat ninth. Jason Kipnis (sixth) and Yan Gomes (seventh) have also each moved up a spot in Cleveland's lineup.

Chisenhall is averaging 8.1 FanDuel points in 20 games this season while batting .339 with 4 RBI and 9 runs scored across 66 plate appearances.
