Guardians' Johnathan Rodriguez making MLB debut Tuesday
Cleveland Guardians outfielder Johnathan Rodriguez will start in right field and hit seventh on Tuesday against right-hander Adrian Houser and the New York Mets.
What It Means
The Guardians recalled Rodriguez from Triple-A Columbus on Monday as the roster replacement for Ramon Laureano (DFA). Rodriguez will replace David Fry in the outfield on Tuesday, while Will Brennan will move up a spot and hit fifth.
numberFire's models project Rodriguez for 7.4 and Brennan for 10.6 FanDuel points on Tuesday. Per our MLB Heat Map, the Guardians' implied total (4.69) is No. 7 in the majors today. Houser has a horrific strikeout rate (10.8 percent) through 32 2/3 innings this season, along with an xERA (5.76) in the bottom 10th percentile of the league.
