Los Angeles Dodgers DFS SPIN
X-rays on the injured right elbow of Dodgers slugger Joey Gallo came back negative for any fractures on Wednesday. Gallo was pulled from Wednesday’s showdown against the Giants after he was plunked on the right elbow, but is sounds like he was able to avoid any significant injury. He should be considered day-to-day.
San Diego Padres DFS SPIN
Juan Soto (shoulder) said he will “definitely” be ready to play in Friday’s series opener against the Dodgers. Soto was removed from Wednesday night’s series finale against the Diamondbacks shortly after taking a Tommy Henry fastball between the shoulder blades in the third inning, but all should be fine following Thursday’s scheduled team off day. The 23-year-old slugger is in a 2-for-28 (.071) rut at the plate, though he can certainly get it going in a hurry for the Padres as they aim to lock down one of the final two NL Wild Card spots
