William Cuevas Daily Fantasy News, Rankings, Projections

Velazquez is battling an illness and consequentially won’t make his previously scheduled start for the Boston Red Sox in Friday’s home matchup against the NewYork Mets due to the aforementioned ailment. He’ll be replaced on the mound by William Cuevas, who, like Velazquez, is a right-handed pitcher, so his presence on the bump won’t alter the projections of the Mets hitters in any significant fashion. However, with Cuevas opening the game, this contest still sets up as a clear bullpen game for Boston, which was the play even if Velazquez were healthy enough to take the mound. That said, still be sure to double check out the updated projections in LineupHQ and the Starting Lineups page for any notable changes prior to submitting lineups for tonight’s main slate.
