Stephen Vogt sitting for Athletics Thursday afternoon
Oakland Athletics catcher Stephen Vogt is not in the starting lineup again for Thursday afternoon's series finale against right-hander Paul Blackburn and the Boston Red Sox.
What It Means:
Vogt is grabbing a seat after starting the past five games. Sean Murphy is taking over at designated hitter and Christian Bethancourt is starting at catcher. Seth Brown is on first base and batting sixth while Chad Pinder replaces Vogt in the lineup to play left field and bat leadoff.
Per numberFire's MLB Heat Map, the park factor in the Athletics-Red Sox game is second-strongest for hitters out of the nine games being played Thursday. Pinder has a $2,400 salary and our models project him for 10.7 FanDuel points.
