Christian Bethancourt sitting Tuesday for Tampa Bay

Tampa Bay Rays catcher Christian Bethancourt is not in the lineup for Tuesday's series opener against left-hander Ty Blach and the Colorado Rockies.

What It Means:

Rene Pinto will start over Bethancourt and bat ninth. The Rays activated fellow backstop Francisco Mejia (knee) from the 10-day injured list and designated for assignment on Tuesday.

numberFire’s models project Pinto ($2,100) for 5.6 FanDuel points on Tuesday. Per our MLB Heat Map, the Rays' implied total (5.16) is second-best on the board while the game total is 8.5. Blach ranks in the bottom 10th percentile or worse of the majors this season in xERA (6.51), hard-hit rate (45.3%), and strikeout rate (9.3).
