New York Yankees DFS Spin
Yankees second baseman Gleyber Torres reached base 3 times in his team’s 8-2 win over the Red Sox on Sunday night. In that contest, Torres went 1 for 3 with a single, 2 RBIs, a run scored, and 2 walks. For the season, the 6’1” right-handed hitter is batting .237 with 10 homers, 41 RBIs, 4 stolen bases, and an OPS of .681 across 417 plate appearances. Torres is hitting .351 over the past 15 days, making him worthy of DFS consideration on Monday.
Philadelphia Phillies DFS Spin
Phillies designated hitter Kyle Schwarber provided all of his team’s offense in their 4-3 loss to the Guardians on Sunday. In that contest, the left-handed hitter from Middletown, Ohio went 2 for 4 with 2 homers, 3 RBIs, 2 runs scored, and a walk. Across 435 plate appearances this year, Schwarber is hitting .248 with 22 homers, 63 RBIs, and an OPS of .837. The former Cub has 12 homers off of right-handed pitching this season. That makes Kyle Schwarber worth a look in most DFS formats against Yankees righty Luis Gil on Monday.
