Nationals' Lane Thomas (knee) lands on injured list
The Washington Nationals placed outfielder Lane Thomas on the 10-day injured list Wednesday due to a left MCL sprain.
What It Means
Thomas suffered the injury against the Los Angeles Dodgers on Tuesday night. The Nationals called up infielder Trey Lipscomb from Triple-A Rochester in a corresponding move. Joey Gallo will replace Thomas in right field and bat fifth against right-hander Landon Knack and the Los Angeles Dodgers on Wednesday, while Jesse Winker will move up and hit second. Joey Meneses will bat third and Luis Garcia will clean things up for the Nationals.
numberFire's models project Gallo for 10.0 and Winker for 7.9 FanDuel points on Wednesday. Per our MLB Heat Map, the Nationals' implied total (4.18) is No. 14 in the majors today.
