Milwaukee Brewers DFS SPIN
Luis Urías is dealing with a left hamstring injury. Luis Urías limped off the field following a ninth-inning ground out during Thursday’s Opening Day contest against the Cubs and could be facing an extended absence. There should be an update on his status sometime in the next few days after he undergoes some additional testing to determine the severity of the injury.
Chicago Cubs DFS SPIN
Dansby Swanson went 3-for-4 with an RBI single and a run scored in his Cubs’ debut Thursday against the Brewers. Swanson also showed that he and his double-play partner Nico Hoerner are going to be a lot of fun to watch. Hard to ask for a much better debut after the Cubs signed the All-Star shortstop to a seven-year, $177 million deal during the offseason. Swanson was taken just inside the top-10 shortstops in fantasy drafts this spring and he could be able to justify that price hitting high in a Cubs’ lineup which could be better than a lot of people think.
