Gary Sanchez on Yankees' bench Thursday
New York Yankees catcher Gary Sanchez is not in the starting lineup for Thursday's series opener against right-hander Tanner Houck and the Boston Red Sox.
What It Means:
Sanchez is taking a seat for the first time since the All-Star break. Rob Brantly is set to catch for Jordan Montgomery and bat sixth. Brett Gardner is hitting second after batting sixth last game.
numberFire’s models project Gardner for 10.7 FanDuel points and he has a $2,100 salary on Thursday. Per our MLB Heat Map, the Yankees have an implied total of 4.4 runs. Among Thursday's listed starters, Houck is registering the sixth-best strikeout rate (26.8 percent) and the best walk rate (3.6 percent) this season.
