Anthony Santander (ankle) starting for Orioles Thursday afternoon
Baltimore Orioles outfielder Anthony Santander (ankle) is back in the starting lineup for Thursday afternoon's series finale against rookie left-hander Shane McClanahan and the Tampa Bay Rays.
What It Means:
Santander was held out of Wednesday's lineup due to minor ankle soreness, but he was still able to make an appearance off the bench. The 26-year-old has gone 1-for-16 with 7 strikeouts over the last five games. Santander is starting in right field and hitting sixth on Thursday afternoon. Austin Hays is shifting to left field while Jorge Mateo moves in to take care of second base. Ramon Urias is sliding over to the hot corner in place of an idle Maikel Franco and batting seventh.
numberFire’s models project Santander for 8.6 FanDuel points and he has a $2,800 salary on Thursday slate. Per our MLB Heat Map, the Orioles have an implied total of 3.2 runs. McClanahan is registering a 27.9 strikeout percentage and an 8.8 walk percentage this season, with a 4.27 xERA and a .316 xwOBA.
