Chicago Cubs DFS SPIN
The Cubs announced that Yan Gomes (head) will continue to be evaluated overnight and into the morning. The veteran catcher was pulled from Monday night’s game after he was hit in the head by a back swing during the first inning. It doesn’t sound like he’s officially in the concussion protocol, but the Cubs are taking all possible precautions nevertheless. Expect an update on his status on Tuesday.
Washington Nationals DFS SPIN
Nationals recalled RHP Cory Abbott from Triple-A Rochester. Abbott gets the call to join the Nationals with righty Chad Kuhl landing on the injured list. The 27-year-old right-hander made 16 appearances (nine starts) last year in the majors and has made five starts this season for Triple-A Rochester
