New York Mets DFS SPIN
Mark Canha went 2-for-3 with a two-run homer on Thursday in the Mets’ loss to the Braves. Canha continues to do plenty of damage against left-handed pitching and managed to take Braves southpaw Max Fried deep for a two-run shot in the fifth inning of this one. It was his eighth round-tripper of the season and first time he’s gone deep since July 13.
Philadelphia Phillies DFS SPIN
Phillies transferred OF Bryce Harper from the 10-day injured list to the 60-day injured list. This doesn’t at all affect the timeline for Harper, who is still expected to return to the Phillies’ active roster around the beginning of September. He was placed on the 10-day IL on June 26 with a fracture in his left thumb.
