Tampa Bay Rays DFS SPIN
Ryan Thompson will be placed on the Rays restricted list on Thursday ahead of their five-game set against the Blue Jays in Toronto. Thompson and bullpen-mate Brooks Raley have not been vaccinated and are not allowed to travel to Ontario. The Rays have yet to announce which two hurlers — or one reliever and one position player perhaps — will be summoned from Triple-A Durham to take their places on the active roster on Thursday.
Toronto Blue Jays DFS SPIN
Yusei Kikuchi struggled again in Saturday’s loss to the Brewers, allowing five runs (two earned) on six hits over his two-plus innings of work. On the plus side for fantasy managers, five of the six outs that he did record in the game came via the strikeout while issuing only one walk. The Brewers scored one run in the first inning, three more in the second — two on a homer from Andrew McCutchen — and then Mike Brosseau launched a solo homer to lead off the third. He’ll look to improve upon a miserable 5.08 ERA and 1.59 WHIP when he takes on the Rays at home on Thursday.
