Philadelphia Phillies DFS SPIN
Kyle Schwarber went 1-for-4 with a solo homer against the Astros on Friday. Schwarber took Framber Valdez deep with a 407-foot blast to right field in the first inning. That gave him homers in consecutive at-bats against Valdez, as he also homered against him in Game 6 of the World Series last year. Schwarber has had a bit of a quiet start to the season so far, slashing .214/.325/.439 with six home runs and 12 RBI over 27 games.
Houston Astros DFS SPIN
Astros manager Dusty Baker told reporters on Friday that Yordan Alvarez (neck) has been showing improvement and has been participating in pregame workouts with the team. He wouldn’t go as far to say that Alvarez could be available off the bench against the Phillies on Friday night, but that looks to be a possibility. At least it appears as though the superstar slugger will be avoiding a trip to the injured list. Continue to treat him as day-to-day.
