Phillies' Carlos Santana back in the lineup batting second on Thursday

Philadelphia Phillies first baseman Carlos Santana is starting on Thursday against the Pittsburgh Pirates.

What It Means:

Santana is starting at first base and batting second against Pirates right-hander Jameson Taillon. Scott Kingery will move down to the seventh spot. This season, Santana is hitting .131/.253/.279 with 10 runs, 2 home runs, and 10 RBIs. His low batting average can partially be explained by an unlucky .120 BABIP in the early going.

numberFire projects Santana for 11.7 FanDuel points at a salary of $3,500.
