Philadelphia Phillies third baseman Maikel Franco (wrist) has returned to the starting lineup for Monday's game against the Washington Nationals.

Los Angeles Dodgers infielder/outfielder Chris Taylor will lead off and play left field versus lefty Cody Reed on Monday. Joc Pederson (rest) is out of the lineup with the left-handed starter on the mound. Taylor normally isn't the best DFS option, but he could make for an interesting option while leading off. Taylor isn't worth […]

Goodrum […]

Los Angeles Dodgers second baseman Brian Dozier will lead off and play second base versus lefty Kyle Freeland on Saturday.

Most […]

Andy Webb 6 years agoYoan Moncada Will Lead Off on Saturday
Chicago White Sox second baseman Yoan Moncada will lead off and play second base versus righty Matt Shoemaker on Saturday.

Baltimore Orioles outfielder Adam Jones (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the Tampa Bay Rays. Jones will receive his second game in a row off on Saturday.
