Derek Fisher Leading Off, Tony Kemp At Second Base
6 years agoHouston Astros outfielder Derek Fisher is leading off and playing left field on Wednesday against Cubs starting pitcher Kyle Hendricks. Tony Kemp is at the keystone and is hitting eighth, with Alex Bregman manning shortstop and Yuli Gurriel playing third base. Fisher is one of the more underrated Astros prospects but has four hits in 12 at-bats so far this year and is in play as a deep DFS sleeper in the leadoff spot. With both Carlos Correa (rib) and Jose Altuve (hamstring, knee) on the injured list, Houston will have to get creative up the middle. Expect the team to mix and match with Bregman, Kemp, Jack Mayfield and Myles Straw up the middle in the coming days and weeks until Altuve returns.
