Toronto Blue Jays DFS SPIN
Danny Jansen went 3-for-4 with a pair of solo home runs in Thursday’s loss to the Orioles. Jansen went deep against Tyler Wells in the third and fifth innings, providing the only offense of the day for the Blue Jays. It’s nice to see after his recent stint on the injured list with a left groin strain, and hopefully a sign of things to come offensively. The 28-year-old is now slashing .214/.275/.450 with eight home runs and 28 RBI through 39 games.
Texas Rangers DFS SPIN
Marcus Semien was ejected from Thursday’s game against the Angels. Semien was 0-for-3 with a walk before being tossed between the seventh and eighth inning of Thursday’s contest against the division-rival Angels. He struck out on a questionable check swing call in the seventh inning, so we’re going to assume his ejection had something to do with that incident. Rangers manager Bruce Bochy and pitching coach Mike Maddux were also tossed by first base umpire Ramon De Jesus.
