Luis Campusano sitting Thursday for Padres
San Diego Padres catcher Luis Campusano is not in the lineup for Thursday afternoon's series finale against right-hander Frankie Montas and the Cincinnati Reds.
What It Means
Campusano started at catcher in the first two games of the series and went 1-for-7 with a run. Kyle Higashioka will catch for Matt Waldron on Thursday afternoon and bat ninth.
numberFire's models project Higashioka for 9.1 FanDuel points on Thursday. Per our MLB Heat Map, the Padres' implied total (4.79) is No. 3 out of 16 active teams in the majors today, while the game total (9.5) is the highest on the board. Montas has a 4.37 ERA and 4.61 xERA (bottom 27th percentile) this season, with a 16.1 strikeout percentage (bottom 13th) and 9.7 percent walk rate (bottom 33rd).
