Cleveland Guardians outfielder Will Brennan is not in the lineup for Thursday afternoon's series finale against left-hander Brennan Bernardino and the Boston Red Sox.
Brennan is a lefty hitter and the Red Sox are opening the contest with a southpaw, so he will take a seat for at least the start of the game. Jose Ramirez will shift to designated hitter on Thursday, while Gabriel Arias will start on third base and bat eighth. Tyler Freeman will start in center field and hit fifth.
numberFire's models project Freeman for 7.1 and Arias for 7.7 FanDuel points on Thursday. Per our MLB Heat Map, the Guardians' implied total (4.46) is No. 3 out of 10 active teams today, while the game total (9.0) is the highest on the board.
