Danny Santana sitting for Red Sox Thursday

Boston Red Sox utility player Danny Santana is not in the starting lineup for Thursday's series finale against right-hander Zack Greinke and the Houston Astros.

What It Means:

This is the third time in the past four games that Santana has been kept out of the lineup. He is 5-for-43 (.116) with 13 strikeouts over his first 14 games with the Red Sox. Bobby Dalbec will replace Santana on first base in Thursday's contest and Enrique Hernandez will take over at the top of the order.

numberFire’s models project Dalbec for 8.9 FanDuel points and he has a $2,100 salary on Thursday. Hernandez ($2,400) is projected for 10.2 FanDuel points. Per our MLB Heat Map, the Red Sox have an implied total of 4.5 runs. Greinke owns a 18.4 strikeout percentage and 4.9 walk percentage this season.
