Atlanta Braves DFS SPIN
Orlando Arcia went 2-for-3 and homered to supply the Braves with their lone run Wednesday against the Phillies. The Braves took a quick look to see if Robinson Cano would be an upgrade over Arcia, but Arcia won out and will remain the primary second baseman until Ozzie Albies comes off the IL. He has four homers and eight RBI in his last 12 games (nine starts).
New York Mets DFS SPIN
Daniel Vogelbach launched his third career grand slam Wednesday as the Mets defeated the Nationals. After starter Anibal Sanchez loaded the bases with one out in the fifth inning, reliever Jordan Weems entered and Vogelbach turned on an inside fastball, depositing it over the right-field wall. It was the first home run and first four RBI in the ninth game with his new club. Vogelbach is slated to form the strong side of a DH platoon with new acquisition Darin Ruf.
