Cincinnati Reds DFS SPIN
Joey Votto went 3-for-5 with a homer and a walk as the Reds steamrolled the Nationals 9-2 on Wednesday. Votto’s 382-foot shot to left would have been a homer in about half of the league’s parks. Fortunately, it made the cut in D.C., giving Votto five homers and 11 RBI in 13 games since he returned from shoulder surgery. He has just a .205 average, but it’s produced an .885 OPS.
Washington Nationals DFS SPIN
Nationals recalled OF Alex Call from Triple-A Rochester. Derek Hill is gone and there’s nothing to suggest Victor Robles will return anytime soon, so Call should have center field to himself for at least the next few weeks. The 28-year-old was batting .209/.299/.291 in 251 plate appearances before being sent down June 16. He’s probably not going to be an option outside of NL-only leagues.
