Luke Raley Back From Illness, Starting in Pittsburgh
Seattle Mariners outfielder Luke Raley (illness) is starting in right field for Seattle and will bat sixth against the hosting Pittsburgh Pirates and right-hander Mitch Keller at PNC Park on Tuesday, according to MLB.com. Raley missed three games against the Baltimore Orioles last week with tightness in his back and then missed the entire series over the weekend against the Boston Red Sox due to the flu, so this will be his first game back in the lineup since June 14. With the 31-year-old left-handed-hitting outfielder feeling better and back in action, he'll be an option in DFS lineups against a right-hander. The former seventh-round pick of the Los Angeles Dodgers in 2016 out of Lake Erie College doesn't play much against southpaws, but he has done plenty of damage against righties, going 44-for-176 (.250) with all 14 of his home runs and all 35 of his RBI this year. Raley is rostered in only 16% of Yahoo leagues because he's not an everyday player, but his pop against righties is significant enough to warrant a roster spot in deeper leagues for outfield depth.
