Tyler O'Neill Still Under The Weather
4 months agoBoston Red Sox outfielder Tyler O'Neill (illness) remains out of action for Wednesday's contest against the hosting Kansas City Royals. O'Neill is dealing with a stomach virus and will now miss his fifth straight game. Hopefully, the 29-year-old will be feeling good enough to play in Friday's series opener against the visiting Houston Astros after a scheduled day off for the team on Thursday. With O'Neill out again on Wednesday, Rob Refsnyder will draw into the starting lineup in right field and will hit second against Royals left-hander Cole Ragans. The matchup isn't an easy one for Refsnyder, but is at least worth a look as a DFS sleeper because of the fact that he's hitting .326 (29-for-89) with six of his seven home runs on the year against southpaw hurlers.
