Toronto Blue Jays DFS SPIN
Mitch White will be recalled from Triple-A Buffalo to start against the Rays on Friday evening in Tampa Bay. Blue Jays interim skipper John Schneider made it a point to mention that the team’s bullpen was well-rested behind White, so there’s a chance that the right-hander isn’t going to work very deeply into Friday’s game. He made a spot start against the Rays last Friday, giving up three runs on seven hits over six strong innings.
Tampa Bay Rays DFS SPIN
Jonathan Aranda went 2-for-4 with a solo homer on Thursday, propelling the Rays to a 10-5 blowout victory over the Blue Jays. Aranda jump-started the Rays’ 10-run offensive explosion with a solo homer to right field off Blue Jays starter José Berríos in the opening frame. The 24-year-old rookie infielder has proven that he deserves an everyday opportunity moving forward, slashing .278/.361/.463 with two homers in 61 plate appearances this season in the majors.
