New York Mets DFS SPIN
Mets manager Buck Showalter said after Sunday’s game that the MRI on Starling Marte’s injured groin revealed nothing more than tightness. Showalter said that Marte won’t require a stint on the injured list and should return to the lineup “in the near future”. It sounds like the 33-year-old outfielder may miss a couple of games, but won’t be looking at any sort of long-term absence.
Atlanta Braves DFS SPIN
Austin Riley went 3-for-6 with a solo homer and three RBI on Sunday, powering the Braves to a 4-3 walk-off victory over the Nations in a 12-inning marathon. Riley kicked off the scoring with an RBI single in the third inning before crushing a game-tying solo shot to left-center field against Nationals’ lefty Kyle Finnegan in the eighth inning. It was his 23rd round-tripper of the season. The 25-year-old third baseman came through with the game-winning RBI single to left field in the bottom of the 12th inning, sending the Braves home with a walk-off victory, and pulling Atlanta within two games of first place of the NL East-leading Mets.
