Red Sox third baseman Pablo Sandoval is out of the lineup for Thursday night’s game against the Atlanta Braves, and that is likely a direct result of his decision to go on social media during Boston’s game the previous night.
In the seventh inning of the Braves-Red Sox game on Wednesday night, Barstool Sports blogger Jared Carrabis noticed that someone had “liked” a couple of photos from Sandoval’s account.

Pablo admitted on Thursday that it was him, confessing that he grabbed his phone during a bathroom break in the seventh inning.
