Sandy Leon sitting for Red Sox on Thursday night

Boston Red Sox catcher Sandy Leon is not starting versus the Seattle Mariners in Thursday's series opener.

What It Means:

Christian Vazquez will start behind the plate while Leon returns to the bench. He finished 0-for-4 with a pair of strikeout in Wednesday's series finale against the Baltimore Orioles.

Leon is averaging 4.2 FanDuel points per game this season. numberFire's models project him to hit .240 with 6 homers and 32 RBI over the rest of the year.
