Chicago Cubs DFS Spin

Willson Contreras went 2-for-4 with a homer and two RBI on Tuesday in a rout of the Indians. Contreras drove in his first run with a single in the sixth, and then walloped a solo shot off Trevor Stephan to extend the Cubs' lead to 7-1. The veteran backstop has driven in 28 runs thus far, and the homer is the 12th of the campaign. The power has been nice, but the .232 average is a bit of a disappointment, and unfortunately not far off from the .243 mark he had in the truncated 2020 season.

Mookie Betts (illness) is not in the Dodgers starting lineup on Wednesday. Betts was removed from Tuesday night's game due to illness and looks to need an additional day off to rest. Dodgers manager Dave Roberts told reporters that the star outfielder is dealing with stomach flu symptoms.
