New York Yankees first baseman Luke Voit is not in the starting lineup for Monday's series opener against rookie right-hander A.J. Alexy and the Texas Rangers.
Voit is taking a seat after starting the previous two games. Giancarlo Stanton is shifting to designated hitter in place of Voit. Anthony Rizzo is on first base again.
numberFire’s models project Stanton for 14.8 FanDuel points and he has a $3,900 salary on Monday’s slate. Per our MLB Heat Map, the Yankees have an implied total of 5.2 runs. Through Alexy's first 14 2/3 innings in the majors, the young righty is registering a 24.1 strikeout percentage and a 15.5 walk percentage this season, with a 4.11 xERA and a .309 xwOBA.
