Los Angeles Dodgers DFS SPIN
Max Muncy went 0-for-5 with three strikeouts in a 4-3 loss to the Braves Wednesday. Muncy blasted 11 homers in April while hitting .257/.441/.743 but has cooled off in May. The 32-year-old is hitting just .181/.286/.361 with four homers over 72 at-bats this month. While he should continue to be rostered, fantasy managers should consider stashing him on their bench for the time being.
Tampa Bay Rays DFS SPIN
Wander Franco tripled and stole two bases on Thursday in the Rays’ win over the Blue Jays. Franco recorded his third multi-steal performance of the 2023 season and is now up to a career-high 17 thefts through just 50 games. He has a realistic shot at eclipsing the lofty 40-steal threshold this year, if he stays healthy. The massive uptick in steals has been completely unexpected given his minor league track record, and persistent leg issues last year, but it’s a welcome bonus for fantasy managers
