Hanley Ramirez fills in at third base

Hanley Ramirez shifted from the left field to third base Tuesday against the Nationals after Pablo Sandoval left the game for precautionary reasons. Sandoval had been hit in the foot by a pitch in the previous inning.

Fantasy Impact:

Normally, super utility man Brock Holt would have been called upon to take over at third, but with him already at short for an ailing Bogaerts, the Red Sox had few options. While its Boston's preference that Hanley spend as much time in left field as possible, Tuesday's emergency fill-in shows that its possible Ramirez could pick up some games at third throughout the season. Keep an eye on this and check your league rules as Hanley may sneak in some third base eligibility for this season or next.
