Xander Bogaerts, Trevor Story Sitting Thursday
2 years agoBoston Red Sox shortstop Xander Bogaerts and second baseman Trevor Story are both out of the starting lineup on Thursday against the Los Angeles Angels. Bogaerts returned to the lineup on Wednesday after leaving Tuesday's game early with right shoulder tightness. As far as we know, both he and Story are getting regular rest days on Thursday. Jonathan Arauz is starting at shortstop and is hitting ninth, while Christian Arroyo will get the nod at the keystone and bat leadoff against Angels right-hander Shohei Ohtani. The matchup isn't ideal, but Arroyo will have some deep-sleeper appeal in DFS out of the leadoff spot. He's hitting just .188 (16-for-85) with three home runs, 10 RBI and two stolen bases on the season.
