Blue Jays' Santiago Espinal sitting Thursday afternoon
Toronto Blue Jays infielder Santiago Espinal is not in the starting lineup for Thursday afternoon's series finale against right-hander Tanner Houck and the Boston Red Sox.
The Blue Jays appear to be giving Espinal a standard breather. Gosuke Katoh is making his first MLB start on Thursday, and he is replacing Espinal on second base and batting second.
numberFire’s models project Katoh for 6.7 FanDuel points on Thursday, and he has a $2,000 salary. Per our MLB Heat Map, the Blue Jays have an implied total of 4.32 runs, which is fourth-highest among the 20 active teams on Thursday.
