6 years agoCleveland Indians outfielder Carlos Gonzalez is the designated hitter and batting cleanup on Thursday while outfielder Oscar Mercado sits. Despite calling up Mercado on Tuesday and immediately inserting him in the lineup over Gonzalez, it does not appear the Indians are completely ready to give up on the veteran yet. Mercado struck out three times and was hit by a pitch in his debut, which may factor into Thursday's lineup construction, even though Gonzalez is only hitting .221/.272/.302. If the Baltimore-Cleveland game is in your DFS slate, Gonzalez can still be considered with his lineup spot and platoon advantage over Orioles starter Dan Straily, owner of an 8.23 ERA and 15-to-12 K-BB ratio this season.--Nathaniel Green
