Joc Pederson joining Giants' bench Tuesday night

San Francisco Giants outfielder Joc Pederson is not in the starting lineup on Tuesday against left-hander Tyler Gilbert and the Arizona Diamondbacks.

What It Means:

Darin Ruf will shift to left field in place of Pederson and hit third while Yermin Mercedes enters the lineup as the designated hitter and cleanup man. Austin Slater will cover the leadoff role.

Slater is currently numberFire's third-best point-per-dollar value among hitters on Tuesday. He has a $2,500 salary and our models project him for 15.3 FanDuel points. Ruf has a $2,600 salary and is projected for 13.3 FanDuel points. Mercedes has a $2,300 salary and is projected for 11.5 FanDuel points. Per our MLB Heat Map, the Giants have the seventh-highest implied total (4.76) in the bigs.
