Houston Astros DFS SPIN
Astros manager Dusty Baker indicated that Aledmys Díaz (groin) might be placed on the 10-day injured list. Díaz tweaked his left groin as he robbed Yasmani Grandal of a base hit in the third inning of the Astros’ loss at the White Sox on Tuesday night. He had been hitting the ball well over the last handful of weeks, so this comes with unfortunate timing. Look for an official decision on Wednesday. Díaz did downplay the issue after the game, but any sort of strain would mean an extended absence.
Chicago White Sox DFS SPIN
Michael Kopech delivered a dominant performance in a no-decision against the Tigers on Friday night, racking up 11 strikeouts over six no-hit innings. The right-hander allowed just three walks on the night. He was pulled after throwing 85 pitches (56 strikes) in his six frames, then Reynaldo Lopez came on an immediately surrendered a hit to Javier Báez. Kopech piled up 22 swinging strikes in the contest — 17 of those on his fastball — while registering an other-worldly 45 percent CSW. He’ll look to keep the good times rolling as he carries a 3.18 ERA and 1.18 WHIP into Wednesday’s battle against the Astros.
