Cleveland Guardians DFS SPIN
Gabriel Arias went 2-for-4 with a solo homer on Thursday, powering the Guardians to a 3-1 victory over the White Sox. Arias connected for a solo shot — his second round-tripper of the season — off righty Dylan Cease in the fifth inning. He also doubled in the seventh inning for his second extra-base hit off Cease in the low-scoring contest.
New York Mets DFS SPIN
Andy Martino of SNY reports the Mets are calling up Gary Sánchez on Friday. The Mets had to make a decision on Sánchez this weekend due to the opt-out in his minor league contract and they’ve decided to give him a shot in New York rather than letting him test the free agent waters again. The 30-year-old slugging backstop tore the cover off the ball at Triple-A Syracuse, batting .308/.514/.500 with one homer, two doubles, and a 10/9 K/BB ratio across eight games.
