Bobby Dalbec back in Boston's lineup Thursday
Boston Red Sox infielder Bobby Dalbec is in the starting lineup for Thursday's series finale against left-hander Shane McClanahan and the Tampa Bay Rays.
What It Means:
Dalbec is playing first base and batting fifth after being held out of Wednesday's lineup. Kyle Schwarber is serving as Boston's designated hitter and dropping into the second spot in the order. J.D. Martinez is moving to left field in place of an idle Alex Verdugo and hitting third.
numberFire’s models project Dalbec for 11.2 FanDuel points and he has a $2,500 salary on Thursday’s slate. Per our MLB Heat Map, the Red Sox have an implied total of 3.4 runs, the third-lowest total in the majors on Thursday. McClanahan is registering a 27.7 strikeout percentage and a 7.3 walk percentage this season, with a 4.59 xERA and a .326 xwOBA.
