Hunter Renfroe resting Tuesday for Red Sox
Boston Red Sox outfielder Hunter Renfroe is not in the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against right-hander Marcus Stroman and the New York Mets.
What It Means:
Renfroe was Boston's No. 2 batter in the last five games, all of which came against left-handed starters. Alex Verdugo is shifting to right field and J.D. Martinez is covering left Tuesday. Kyle Schwarber is returning to the lineup to bat second as the Red Sox's designated hitter.
numberFire’s models project Schwarber for 12.0 FanDuel points and he has a $3,600 salary on Tuesday’s slate. Per our MLB Heat Map, the Red Sox have an implied total of 5.0 runs. Stroman is registering a 22.0 strikeout percentage and a 5.7 walk percentage this season, with a 4.05 xERA and a .307 xwOBA.
