New York Mets DFS SPIN
Pete Alonso is day-to-day with a left wrist contusion. It’s the best-case scenario outcome after Alonso was drilled on the left wrist by a 97-mph fastball during the opening frame of Wednesday’s showdown against the Braves. X-rays came back negative for a fracture and it sounds like he’s managed to avoid serious injury. He’ll undergo a precautionary CT scan on Thursday, and will likely wind up missing a couple games until the swelling subsides, but figures to avoid a trip to the injured list.
Atlanta Braves DFS SPIN
Spencer Strider pitched two-run ball for six innings Saturday as the Braves topped the Diamondbacks 5-2. This makes three straight outings in which Strider has allowed exactly two earned runs in six innings. Seven strikeouts seems to be the floor for the 24-year-old, as he finished with that total for the second time this year. He’s averaged 9.4 strikeouts per start while going 6-2 with a 2.97 ERA.
