New York Mets DFS SPIN
Kodai Senga will start on Wednesday against the Cubs. It’ll be Tylor Megill taking the ball on Tuesday night at Wrigley Field with Senga getting an extra day of rest. The positive news here is that the 30-year-old right-hander is completely healthy and will take the ball on Wednesday instead. The decision appears to have much more to do with later this week as it enables the Mets to avoid having Senga pitch on Sunday against the Rockies at Coors Field on just four days of rest.
Chicago Cubs DFS SPIN
Cubs’ skipper David Ross told reporters on Tuesday that a recent scan on right-hander Brad Boxberger revealed no structural damage in his arm. That’s certainly encouraging news. The right-hander will continue to rest until the inflammation in his arm subsides before building back up. It sounds like there’s at least a chance that he’ll rejoin the Cubs’ bullpen at some point this season.
