Arizona Diamondbacks DFS SPIN
Lourdes Gurriel Jr. (groin) remains absent from the Diamondbacks’ lineup for Wednesday’s game against the Nationals. Gurriel Jr. will sit out his third consecutive contest on Wednesday night due to groin tightness. It doesn’t sound like a serious concern at this point, but fantasy managers should keep an eye on his status heading into Thursday afternoon’s series finale.
Washington Nationals DFS SPIN
Josiah Gray yielded four runs in 5 1/3 innings Friday in a no-decision versus the Phillies. Gray was given a six-run lead in the first two innings, and he did a good job with it for five, as the Nationals were up 7-1 entering the sixth. Alas, Gray gave up a single, a homer and a double while retiring just one batter then. He still left in line for the win, but that ended up disappearing later. The 2023 version of Gray is a significant improvement over what we saw the last two years. Still, we wouldn’t want to rely on him in shallow leagues.
