Yoan Moncada sitting out again on Friday for Red Sox

Boston Red Sox infielder Yoan Moncada is not in the starting lineup Friday against the Toronto Blue Jays.

What It Means:

On Monday and Tuesday, Moncada went a combined 0-for-7 and struck out seven times. This will be the second straight game that he's been benched. Travis Shaw, who owns a .327 wOBA and homered on Wednesday, will again handle the hot corner on Friday.

Moncada is slashing .235/.278/.294 with a .254 wOBA in his first 18 big league plate appearances. We currently project him to hit just .143 with a .286 OPS over the rest of the year (eight plate appearances).
