Philadelphia's Andrew Knapp in the starting lineup on Thursday
Philadelphia Phillies catcher Andrew Knapp is in the starting lineup for Thursday's home game against the Boston Red Sox.
What It Means:
Knapp will be starting behind the plate while Cameron Rupp gets the day off, and is slated to bat eighth against Boston's left-handed ace Chris Sale.
Knapp's .316 wOBA through 92 plate appearances isn't terrible for his rookie season, but he's also sporting a 28.3% strikeout rate and is not a viable option against Sale, who has a 2.55 SIERA and leads qualifying pitchers with a 35.3% strikeout rate.
