Alan Roden Starting On Opening Day
2 days agoToronto Blue Jays outfield prospect Alan Roden will get the starting nod in right field and bat in the nine-hole against Zach Eflin and the Baltimore Orioles. Roden was one of the most impressive hitters during spring training. Across 20 contests, the 25-year-old posted an impressive .407/.541/.704 slash line with two doubles and two long balls. He held a 6:4 BB:K. Last summer, the Creighton product spent the campaign split between Double-A and Triple-A. Across 54 games at Double-A, Roden posted a .267/.373/.432 slash line with 11 doubles and seven round-trippers. He then hit for an impressive .314/.406/.510 slash line across his first 71 games at Triple-A. Fantasy managers should expect Toronto to give Roden opportunities early in the campaign while Daulton Varsho (shoulder) is sidelined. He carries low value in DFS formats this afternoon, but is worth taking a flier on in deeper AL-only formats.
