Danny Santana (groin) going on Red Sox IL

The Boston Red Sox are placing infielder/outfielder Danny Santana on the 10-day injured list with a groin injury.

What It Means:

Santana exited Wednesday's game early due left groin tightness. The Red Sox are reportedly calling up Franchy Cordero from Triple-A Worcester in a corresponding roster move. Alex Verdugo will enter the lineup in place of Santana on Thursday to play left field and hit seventh versus left-hander Jordan Montgomery and the New York Yankees.

numberFire’s models project Verdugo for 8.4 FanDuel points and he has a $2,600 salary on Thursday. Per our MLB Heat Map, the Red Sox have the third-best implied total (5.1 runs) out of the 16 teams available for the main slate on Thursday night.
