Mike Trout Back In Lineup, Shohei Ohtani Out Against Lefty
5 years agoLos Angeles Angels outfielder Mike Trout (foot) is back in the starting lineup on Thursday and is hitting second against Mariners left-handed starting pitcher Yusei Kikuchi. Trout sat out on Wednesday as a precaution with a sore foot. Get the superstar back into all lineups. With a lefty on the mound, designated hitter Shohei Ohtani and outfielder Brian Goodwin will take a seat. Jonathan Lucroy is the DH and is hitting fifth, while Cesar Puello is in the six hole and starting in left field. Dustin Garneau is behind the plate and batting eighth. Lucroy has been much better offensively in 2018 and is worth considering as a low-priced DFS backstop. Puello had a monster game in his first start for the Halos on Wednesday night, but he still has very little DFS upside moving forward.
