David Fry Serving As DH Against Orioles
5 months agoCleveland Guardians catcher/outfielder David Fry (elbow) is serving as the designated hitter and will bat fifth for the team in Monday's series opener against the hosting Baltimore Orioles and rookie left-hander Cade Povich. Fry left the series finale on Sunday against the Toronto Blue Jays early with right-elbow inflammation, but he's back in action a day later, albeit as the DH. The 28-year-old will continue to be an option for Cleveland at both catcher and in the outfield once he gets past his elbow injury. The former seventh-round pick of the Milwaukee Brewers in 2018 has been a revelation this year for fantasy managers that plucked him off the waiver wire, as he's hitting .312/.429/.526 with a .955 OPS, eight homers, 31 RBI and four steals on the year. He's started coming back down to Earth this month, though, going 11-for-49 (.225) with no homers, four RBI and 10 K's in 15 games.
