Trevor Story sitting Thursday for Red Sox

Boston Red Sox infielder Trevor Story is not in the starting lineup for Thursday's series opener against right-hander Glenn Otto and the Texas Rangers.

What It Means:

The Red Sox appear to be giving Story a standard breather. Christian Arroyo will replace Story on second base and bat sixth. Otto owns an ugly 5.20 SIERA, 16.9% strikeout rate, and 12.4% walk rate this season.

Arroyo has a $2,600 salary on Thursday and numberFire’s models project him for 9.8 FanDuel points. Per our MLB Heat Map, the Red Sox have the highest implied total (5.31) among the six teams on the Main slate and the over/under (9.5) is more than a run higher than the other two contests.
