Tampa Bay Rays infielder Joey Wendle is not in the starting lineup for Wednesday afternoon's series finale against left-hander Robbie Ray and the Toronto Blue Jays.

What It Means:

The Rays are taking Wendle out of the lineup against the Blue Jays' left-hander. Taylor Walls is replacing Wendle at shortstop and hitting eighth.

numberFire’s models project Walls for 9.0 FanDuel points and he has a $2,000 salary on Wednesday’s slate. Per our MLB Heat Map, the Rays have an implied total of 4.0 runs. Ray is registering a 32.4 strikeout percentage (top 7% of the league) and a 6.3 walk percentage this season, with a 3.46 xERA and a .285 xwOBA.
