Chicago Cubs DFS SPIN
Cody Bellinger was pulled from Monday’s game against the Astros due to an apparent injury. Bellinger made a highlight-reel catch to rob Kyle Tucker of a two-run homer to end the seventh inning, but landed very awkwardly which prompted a visit from the trainer and ultimately his removal from the game. Not sure exactly what the issue is, but he’ll get checked out and the Cubs should have an update on his status after the game.
Houston Astros DFS SPIN
Cristian Javier fanned 11 over six innings of two-run ball Wednesday as the Astros topped the Angels 5-4. The only damage on Javier’s ledger was a single to Anthony Rendon and a two-run homer to Hunter Renfroe to give the Angels a quick 2-1 lead. The Astros offense would back him up as he won his X game of the season. The 29-year-old posted an eye-popping 24 swinging strikes on 93 pitches while registering an outstanding 40 percent CSW. He’ll carry a 3.54 ERA, 1.06 WHIP, and 43/9 K/BB ratio across 40 2/3 innings into a home matchup on Tuesday against the Cubs.
