Cincinnati Reds DFS SPIN
Stuart Fairchild (neck) is not in the Reds’ starting lineup for Saturday’s contest against the Astros. Fairchild was a late scratch from Friday’s contest and remained on the bench Saturday. He is still considered day-to-day, and Will Benson will patrol right field while the 27-year-old is on the mend.
Houston Astros DFS SPIN
Mauricio Dubón is not in the Astros’ starting lineup for Saturday’s showdown against the Reds. The 28-year-old has been bouncing around the field playing second base, shortstop, and left field but will get a well-deserved day off on Saturday. Dubón is hitting .288/.283/.481 with two homers and two steals in June. Cory Julks will bat lead-off and play left field in his place.
