Atlanta Braves DFS SPIN

Austin Riley cracked his second homer of the season in the Braves' loss to the Nationals on Wednesday. It was a solo blast to center off Nats reliever Kyle Finnegan. Riley also singled and drew a walk, finishing the day 2-for-3. The young power-hitting third baseman boasts a .333 batting average and 1.151 OPS through 31 plate appearances as he looks to build off his breakout 2021 campaign.

San Diego Padres DFS Spin

Jake Cronenworth went 2-for-4 and drove in the Padres lone run with an RBI triple in Wednesday's loss to the Giants. Cronenworth followed a Manny Machado double with a run-scoring triple off of Logan Webb in the opening inning to give the Padres an early lead on Wednesday. He would be stranded at third base though, and that would wind up being the extent of the Padres offense in the game. Cronenworth is now hitting .292/.400/.417 with four RBI on the young season.
