Mark Canha absent for Tigers Tuesday afternoon
Detroit Tigers outfielder/designated hitter Mark Canha is not in the lineup for Game 1 of Tuesday's doubleheader against right-hander Kyle Gibson and the St. Louis Cardinals.
What It Means
Canha will take a seat after starting the last seven games, but he should be back in there for the later contest. Wenceel Perez will start in the outfield and hit third, while Riley Greene will serve as the designated hitter. Matt Vierling will move up and bat second for the first time this season.
numberFire's models project Perez for 7.2 and Greene for 12.0 FanDuel points in Game 1 on Tuesday. Vierling (10.0 FanDuel points) has a $5,500 salary and is our second-best value for the single-game slate. Per our MLB Heat Map, the Tigers' implied total (4.41) is No. 8 in the majors today.
