Chicago Cubs DFS SPIN
Cody Bellinger went 4-for-4 with a two-run homer and three RBI on Thursday in the Cubs’ loss to the Brewers. Bellinger, who extended his hitting streak to 12 straight games in this one, has recorded three consecutive multi-hit performances for the first time since the 2018 season. He launched a two-run homer off righty Freddy Peralta in the sixth inning for his sixth round-tripper of the season, and also added an RBI double in this one as well. He’s healthy and in the midst of one of the better stretches of his career at the dish right now.
New York Yankees DFS SPIN
Jake Bauers is likely headed to the injured list with a bruised rotator cuff in his left shoulder. Bauers received a cortisone injection on Thursday and will most likely be put on the injured list ahead of Friday’s series opener against the Cubs. He suffered the injury attempting to make a diving catch during Wednesday’s game against the Orioles.
