San Francisco Giants DFS SPIN
Thairo Estrada went 0-for-3 with a strikeout on Friday in his return to the Giants’ lineup. Estrada returned after missing five games on the COVID-19 injured list. The 26-year-old infielder figures to operate in a reserve utility role for the Giants moving forward, but the presence of infield prospect David Villar certainly complicates his path to everyday playing time.
San Diego Padres DFS SPIN
Ha-Seong Kim went 2-for-4 with a walk and also scored a run on Friday in his return to the Padres’ lineup. Kim was inserted into the Padres’ leadoff spot on Friday, and wound up reaching base safely in three of his five plate appearances against the Giants, after sitting out a pair of contests earlier this week due to a relatively minor thumb issue.
