New York Yankees DFS SPIN
Yankees manager Aaron Boone clarified on Wednesday that Giancarlo Stanton is dealing with ankle inflammation and not a right calf strain. Either way, the slugger landed on the injured list on Wednesday and is going to miss at least a couple of weeks of action. The Yankees didn’t want him to risk further aggravation to the injury by playing and remain hopeful that he’ll be able to return from the injured list when he’s first eligible.
Tampa Bay Rays DFS Spin
Wander Franco doubled twice and drove in a run against the Marlins on Wednesday. Franco was in a 2-for-39 slump coming into this one. Hopefully, that’s done with now and he can get back to being the game’s premier 21-year-old.
