Chicago Cubs DFS SPIN
Christopher Morel did it again Saturday, going 2-for-3 and hitting his seventh homer in 10 games since his callup. We complained about Morel batting eighth last night, so, of course, he was hitting ninth today. Morel is now tied for second place on the Cubs in homers, despite having played in just 10 games.
Philadelphia Phillies DFS SPIN
Kyle Schwarber hit a grand slam and walked twice versus the Cubs on Saturday. It was Schwarber’s fifth career slam, and it was the first hit by a Phillies player since last June. Schwarber has played 12 games against his original organization, and while he has just five hits in those games, four have been homers. He’s batting .176/.314/.409 with 11 homers on the season.
