2 years agoBoston Red Sox shortstop Xander Bogaerts (thigh) is not in the starting lineup on the Fourth of July on Monday against the Tampa Bay Rays. Bogaerts suffered a left thigh laceration on Sunday against the Chicago Cubs and required seven stitches, so he'll sit out on Monday against Tampa. The 29-year-old is day-to-day for now. Christian Arroyo is getting the start at shortstop in his place and will hit eighth against Rays left-hander Jalen Beeks. DFS gamers can likely find better options that Arroyo on Monday, as he's hitting just .218/.279/.366 with four home runs, 13 RBI and three stolen bases in 38 games played. He's also just 5-for-36 (.139) with a home run and four RBI against left-handed pitchers this year.--Keith Hernandez - RotoBaller
