Christian Yelich, Jackie Bradley Jr. Sitting Against Lefty
4 years agoMilwaukee Brewers outfielders Christian Yelich and Jackie Bradley Jr. and catcher Omar Narvaez are out of the lineup on Wednesday against Arizona Diamondbacks left-hander Caleb Smith. Jace Peterson is in left field and batting eighth, Tyrone Taylor is in center and hitting third and Manny Pina is behind the dish and batting seventh. Yelich ended a 15-game home run drought on Tuesday, so the Brew Crew want him to keep that fresh in his mind instead of facing a southpaw. Bradley hasn't hit well all year, but he's batting just .118 (4-for-34) with 13 strikeouts against southpaws. None of the replacements are much to look at for DFS, with Taylor being the best low-cost dart throw because of his placement in the lineup. He is hitting .278 (10-for-36) with four of his six home runs against lefties in 2021.
