4 years agoBoston Red Sox outfielder Kike Hernandez is not in the starting lineup for Friday's matchup with the Yankees. Hernandez has struggled at the plate recently, as he is 3-for-29 with six strikeouts over his last eight games, and has not had an extra-base hit since May 19. He's slashing .228/.284/.383 over 43 games this season, and his Statcast metrics don't offer much hope for fantasy managers as he also owns a .220 xBA and .395 xSLG. With Hernandez out, Danny Santana will get the start for the second night in a row in center field.--Michael Grennell - RotoBaller
