Polanco is out of the lineup Thursday against the Red Sox.

Analysis:

Polanco is essentially stuck in a timeshare with Travis Snider at this point in the season, and it's unclear when that might change. It's obvious that Polanco is the better talent, but he'll need to improve upon his .240/.314/.351 batting line before the extra starts are doled out to him accordingly.
