Astros scratch Cristian Javier (neck) Sunday; Hunter Brown to start

The Houston Astros scratched Cristian Javier (neck) from their lineup for Sunday's game against the Washington Nationals.

Javier was slated to start this afternoon's game, but will now take the day off due to neck soreness. The Astros will tap Hunter Brown for a start instead.

Brown is projected for 24.4 FanDuel points and has a $6,300 salary for this afternoon's contests. Our model has him pitching 5.5 innings with 5.2 strikeouts and 3.6 earned runs in this plus matchup.
