Christian Arroyo Absent From Saturday's Lineup
3 years agoBoston Red Sox utility man Christian Arroyo is not in Saturday's lineup for the game against the Kansas City Royals. Arroyo clubbed a grand slam on Wednesday but went 1-for-5 with three strikeouts in Friday's game. Danny Santana will start in center field and bat leadoff for Boston against Royals right-hander Brad Keller. Santana is hitting a meager .118/.211/.275 with two home runs, three RBI and one steal in 51 at-bats this year and has just three hits in 31 at-bats (.097) in the month of June. The switch-hitter has been better against left-handers this year, but he does have both of his homers in 2021 against righties. Santana isn't a very attractive DFS piece, but he is in a favorable lineup spot against a pitcher that has struggled this year, and he won't cost much.
