Baltimore Orioles DFS SPIN
Adam Frazier had two hits, two walks, a stolen base and four runs scored Thursday as the Orioles topped the Royals 13-10. Baltimore won despite being outhit 16-10, outhomered 3-2 and outdoubled 5-3. The Orioles did have three more walks, but mostly they just did a better job of putting their hits together. Frazier scored four runs for the first time in 851 big-league games. He has five steals, and he already matched his 2022 total of three homers a few days ago.
Atlanta Braves DFS SPIN
Additional testing has revealed that Michael Harris II didn’t suffer any ligament damage in his right knee. Harris II was available off the bench for Thursday’s series finale against the Marlins less than 24 hours after hyperextending his right knee when he came into contact with the first-base bag trying to leg out an infield single during Wednesday’s contest. The 22-year-old fantasy superstar managed to avoid a potentially serious injury and it sounds like there’s a chance he’ll return to Atlanta’s lineup for Friday’s series opener against the Orioles.
