Tampa Bay Rays DFS SPIN
Mike Zunino will undergo an MRI exam on his injured left shoulder. The hard-hitting backstop hit the injured list earlier in the week due to inflammation in his left shoulder. He isn’t progressing as quickly as the Rays would like though in his recovery though, so they’ll get some imaging done to get a better idea of what’s going on. Expect another update on his status on Wednesday.
New York Yankees DFS SPIN
Isiah Kiner-Falefa collected two hits and drove in a run Tuesday against the Rays. Both runs in this one scored on Kiner-Falefa’s single in the fourth inning, the second of which came around because of a wild throw from Randy Arozarena. Kiner-Falefa also had a double, as he was the only player on either side to have multiple base knocks. With a .272 average, nine steals and zero power, the shortstop has been exactly what fantasy managers signed up for.

The Rays are 13-6 in their last 19 games in New York but this is not the same Tampa Bay team that has been causing the big dogs in the AL East issues for years. The Rays team is 1-4 in its last five games as an underdog, 1-5 in its last six games as a road pup and is 1-4 in its last five games when playing the second game of a series. The Yankees, meanwhile, are 40-11 in their last 51 games overall, are 17-5 in their last 22 games versus a team with a winning record and are 39-12 in their last 51 games as a favorite.
