Jake Marisnick Gets Another Start In Center Field Tuesday
Jake Marisnick is back in the lineup Tuesday against the Blue Jays. The team is committed to keeping Marisnick involved in the outfield rotation despite his immense struggles at the plate this season. Marisnick is an excellent defender and opened eyes last season after socking 16 home runs and posting a .496 slugging percentage in 2017. But this season has been a complete nightmare, as he's posted a slash line of .176/.206/.316 with 63 punchouts in only 136 at-bats. The 27-year-old is a spot-start player, at best, and the emergence of speedster Tony Kemp will continue to cut into Marisnick's opportunities moving forward.

Jake Marisnick Will Miss At Least Three Weeks
Jake Marisnick (hamstring) will miss "at least three weeks." The 32-year-old, who recently joined the Dodgers, exited Tuesday's meeting against the Orioles because of a hamstring injury. However, Marisnick likely isn't featured on many fantasy rosters, and that probably won't change once he returns unless he becomes a consistent producer.

Jake Marisnick Exits Early Tuesday With Hamstring Injury
Jake Marisnick (hamstring) exited Tuesday's 10-3 win over the Orioles early with an apparent hamstring injury, per Dodgers beat writer Bill Plunkett. The 32-year-old pinch-hit for Jason Heyward and went 1-for-1 with a single before being replaced by Chris Taylor after feeling something when running out to center field. Marisnick joined the Dodgers on July 15 and has slashed .237/.280/.408 in 83 plate appearances across three teams. While Plunkett mentioned that Marisnick may need to spend time on the injured list, fantasy managers should wait for further definitive news.

Jake Marisnick Signs Minor-League Deal With Dodgers
Jake Marisnick to a minor-league deal on Thursday, according to a source. Marisnick declined a minor-league assignment with the Detroit Tigers this week to become a free agent. It will be the veteran outfielder's third MLB team this year after he started the season with the Chicago White Sox. In 42 total games (77 plate appearances), the 32-year-old has hit .225/.263/.408 with two home runs, three doubles, two triples, 10 RBI, two stolen bases and 10 runs scored in a part-time role. At best, Marisnick will be a platoon option with James Outman in center field, so his fantasy ceiling is as outfield depth in NL-only leagues.

Tigers Trade For Jake Marisnick Tuesday
Jake Marisnick in exchange for cash considerations, according to Evan Petzold of the Detroit Free Press. The 32-year-old will join the big league club, and there will be a corresponding move on Wednesday. The team's in need of some outfield depth after losing Matt Vierling (back) to the 10-day injured list and Riley Greene (leg) leaving Tuesday's contest prematurely with a leg injury. It isn't clear how much playing time Marisnick will get, but even if he plays every day, fantasy managers can stay away from the career .228 hitter.
