Emmanuel Rivera sitting Monday for Diamondbacks
Arizona Diamondbacks infielder Emmanuel Rivera is not in the starting lineup for Monday's series opener against right-hander Tyler Beede and the Pittsburgh Pirates.
Rivera hit his first home run in a Diamondbacks uniform on Sunday, but he will return to the bench a day later. Josh Rojas will cover third base and Ketel Marte will be on the keystone Monday while Seth Beer starts as the designated hitter and No. 7 batter.
Beer has a $2,100 salary on Monday and numberFire’s models project him for 7.6 FanDuel points. Per our MLB Heat Map, the Diamondbacks’ implied total (4.75) is tied for second-highest in the majors on Monday. Beede is registering a 4.81 SIERA, 13.3% strikeout rate, and 10.1% walk rate this season, and he will be followed by a Pirates' bullpen that has the highest xFIP (4.32) in the majors.
