New York Yankees Fantasy Spin
Didi Gregorius went 3-for-5 with three RBI to lead the Yankees to a 10-7 victory over the Twins on Wednesday. Gregorius kicked off the scoring with an RBI double in the second inning and also added a two-run triple in the fourth. It was his third three-hit effort in 33 games this season. The 29-year-old shortstop has racked up a staggering 10 RBI over his last two games. He’s hitting .293/.319/.489 with 22 runs scored, six homers, 26 RBI and one steal in 138 plate appearances
Boston Red Sox Fantasy Spin
Rafael Devers drove in both Red Sox runs Wednesday in a loss to Tampa Bay. The 22-year-old continued his torrid stretch with a two-run single in the third off Rays hurler Charlie Morton. Devers found the hole between third and shortstop on a soft roller to the left side, increasing his team-leading RBI total to 79 in the process. The All-Star snub leads the majors with 17 RBI since the All-Star break.
