Matt Adams Out With Knee Contusion
5 years agoWashington Nationals first baseman Matt Adams (knee) is out of the starting lineup on Wednesday after suffering a slight knee contusion on a hit by pitch on Tuesday. Asdrubal Cabrera is manning first base and is hitting fifth against Orioles starter Asher Wojciechowski. The switch-hitting Cabrera is hitting .245 on the season with 14 homers, 52 runs, 67 RBI and four steals in 371 at-bats. He's had 12 of his 14 round-trippers as a left-handed hitter against righties, so he's a worthwhile DFS sleeper in a red-hot Nats lineup. Cabrera is also hitting .313 (10-for-32) with two homers and 14 RBI in the last two weeks.
