Los Angeles Dodgers DFS SPIN
Justin Turner went 3-for-5 with a run scored and four RBI against the Angels on Friday. Turner drove in four of the Dodgers nine runs in one of his best games this season. After an RBI-groundout in the first inning, he knocked a single in the third and plated two runs with a base hit in the sixth. The 37-year-old third baseman is scorching hot in July after a slow start to the season, going 19-for-47 in the month. On the year, Turner is slashing .254/.326/.403 with eight homers and 51 RBI across 344 plate appearances.
Los Angeles Angels DFS SPIN
Angels interim manager Phil Nevin said late Friday that he’s planning to have Mike Trout (back) in the lineup for Saturday’s Freeway Series finale against the Dodgers. Trout told reporters following Friday’s contest that he expects to play on Saturday evening against Los Angeles. The 30-year-old transcendent slugger has missed three consecutive contests due to back spasms and it seems extremely likely that he’ll be back for the Angels’ final game before the All-Star break. Fantasy managers should continue to monitor his status, but it doesn’t sound like a serious concern heading into the Midsummer Classic.
