Cincinnati Reds DFS SPIN
Elly De La Cruz went 1-for-4 and collected his first big league stolen base in a losing effort against the Dodgers on Thursday afternoon. The 21-year-old phenom started the second inning with an infield single off of Clayton Kershaw. He then deftly swiped second base, but wound up getting stranded there. De La Cruz struck out in each of his other three at-bats in the ballgame. All of his tools have been on full display though his first three games with the Reds and fantasy managers are salivating at the upside that he could provide for the remainder of the season. In many weekly leagues, the free agent bidding on Sunday night is going to be off the charts.
St. Louis Cardinals DFS SPIN
Alec Burleson went 1-for-3 with a solo homer on Wednesday for the game-winning run in a 1-0 contest against the Rangers. Burleson broke a scoreless game with a solo shot off Jon Gray in the eighth inning to put the Cardinals ahead. It was one of only four hits the Cardinals could manage against Gray and the Rangers, but it was all they would need. The 24-year-old outfielder is hitting .226/.278/.390 with five homers across 161 plate appearances.
