Cleveland Guardians DFS SPIN
Peyton Battenfield dropped to 0-4 after giving up five runs — four earned — in six innings Wednesday against the Tigers. Battenfield has pitched well in just two of six starts to date, and he was unfortunate enough to take the loss in both of those anyway. He’ll probably keep his spot for now, but it seems like it’ll be a rather easy call to demote him whenever Aaron Civale or Triston McKenzie returns.
Chicago White Sox DFS SPIN
Jake Burger went 2-for-4 and hit his ninth homer Tuesday against the Guardians. That’s nine homers in 75 at-bats, since Burger opened the season in the minors and served an IL stint due to an oblique strain. Except for Joey Gallo (95), everyone else with nine homers has at least 115 at-bats. Maybe it’s time the White Sox bat him higher than eighth.
