Mookie Betts Starting At Second Thursday
2 years agoLos Angeles Dodgers outfielder Mookie Betts is getting the start at the keystone and is hitting in his usual leadoff spot on Thursday against right-hander Mitch Keller and the Pittsburgh Pirates. Jason Heyward will get the start in right field and is hitting third in the batting order. Along with seeing some time at second base now, Betts is also playing right field and seeing occasional starts at shortstop. Adding positional eligibility for one of baseball's best players is just a cherry on top for Betts' fantasy managers. The 30-year-old has been a slight disappointment at the plate so far, hitting .241 (21-for-87) with three home runs and 10 RBI in 23 games, but he's a must-start in all single-year fantasy formats.
