St. Louis Cardinals DFS SPIN
Yadier Molina is expected to miss multiple weeks with a knee injury. Molina will be placed on the 10-day injured list before Friday’s game against the Red Sox. The 39-year-old has been battling knee soreness, and the Cardinals are going to give him a chance to recover while recalling top prospect Ivan Herrera from Triple-A. Herrera is worth consideration in redraft leagues; particularly in two-catcher leagues. We’ll likely see Molina back around the All-Star break.
Boston Red Sox DFS SPIN
Trevor Story went 0-for-5 with three strikeouts and misplayed a popup Thursday against the A’s. Story won a couple of games for the Red Sox last month, but he lost this one today, as the popup he let fall helped lead to a three-run inning in the 4-3 defeat. Story is 6-for-41 with two RBI and a 17/2 K/BB ratio in his last 10 games.
