3 months agoPittsburgh Pirates shortstop Oneil Cruz is taking the day off at Petco Park on Wednesday in the series finale against the hosting San Diego Padres. Cruz will be replaced at shortstop by Isiah Kiner-Falefa, who is batting leadoff against veteran left-hander Martin Perez. Although he's hit only one home run in 10 August games, Cruz is batting .395 (15-for-38) during the month and has added three doubles, five RBI and three stolen bases in the month. The 6-foot-7, 215-pound Dominican has one of the fastest bat speeds in the big leagues and is a must-start in fantasy lineups when he's active. Kiner-Falefa has hit .238 (10-for-42) with two doubles and two triples in 10 games since joining the Bucs at the trade deadline and will be an interesting DFS play in the leadoff spot. He's hit .286 against Perez in seven career at-bats.--Keith Hernandez - RotoBaller
