Lawrence Butler
Oakland Athletics • #4 • RF
Athletics' Lawrence Butler idle Thursday
Oakland Athletics infielder Lawrence Butler is not in the lineup for Thursday's series finale against left-hander Nestor Cortes and the New York Yankees.
What It Means
The left-handed hitting Butler will move to the bench against a southpaw. Tyler Nevin will move out to right field and bat second again, while Darell Hernaiz will cover third base and hit ninth.
Per numberFire's MLB Heat Map, the Athletics have the second-worst implied total (3.19) out of 20 active teams in the majors on Thursday. Our models project Nevin for 6.4 FanDuel points.
