Abraham Almonte on Red Sox's bench Thursday afternoon

Boston Red Sox outfielder Abraham Almonte is not in the starting lineup for Thursday afternoon's series finale against right-hander Mike Baumann and the Baltimore Orioles.

What It Means:

Almonte went 1-for-3 with a solo homer in Wednesday's victory over the Orioles, but he will take a seat for the day game after the night game. Enrique Hernandez will move out to center field and hit eighth while Christian Arroyo (illness) returns to play second base and bat seventh.

Arroyo has a $2,200 salary on Thursday and numberFire’s models project him for 10.8 FanDuel points. Per our MLB Heat Map, the Red Sox's implied total (4.86) is the highest in the majors on Thursday and the over/under for the game (9.0) is the highest on the board.
