Pittsburgh Pirates infielder Cole Tucker is not in the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against right-hander Wily Peralta and the Detroit Tigers.
The Pirates appear to be giving Tucker a routine breather. Hoy Park is covering second base and batting eighth.
numberFire’s models project Park for 7.2 FanDuel points and he has a $2,200 salary on Tuesday’s slate. Per our MLB Heat Map, the Pirates have an implied total of 4.5 runs. Peralta is registering a 14.8 strikeout percentage (bottom 4% of the league) and an 8.7 walk percentage this season, with a 4.68 xERA and a .328 xwOBA.
