Boston Red Sox infielder/outfielder Danny Santana is in the starting lineup for Thursday's series finale against left-hander Shane McClanahan and the Tampa Bay Rays.
The Red Sox activated Santana from the 10-day injured list Wednesday after he missed more than a month with a groin injury. Santana is replacing Jarren Duran in center field and hitting seventh Thursday night in his return.
numberFire’s models project Santana for 8.2 FanDuel points and he has a $2,000 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.
