Gio Urshela idle for Tigers Wednesday afternoon
Detroit Tigers infielder Gio Urshela is not in the lineup for Wednesday afternoon's series finale against right-hander Spencer Turnbull and the Philadelphia Phillies.
What It Means
Urshela will take the afternoon off after he went 0-for-19 with an RBI and 4 strikeouts over the last five days. Matt Vierling will cover the hot corner for Urshela on Wednesday, while Riley Greene will occupy center field and Akil Baddoo will handle things in the left corner of the grass.
numberFire's models project Vierling for 10.4 FanDuel points on Wednesday. Turnbull has a 26.4 strikeout percentage (top 76th percentile) and 8.5 walk percentage (lower 44th percentile) this season.
