Anthony Rizzo Hitting Cleanup in Return to Lineup Friday
6 years agoChicago Cubs first baseman Anthony Rizzo is hitting fourth and playing first base against the Reds on Friday afternoon. The Cubs sat all their left-handed hitters on Wednesday against lefty Francisco Liriano to get extra rest, as they were off on Thursday. Rizzo has had a rough first half of the season thanks to a back injury and an incredibly cold start. He is up to 12 homers, 58 RBI, 36 runs, three steals and a .248/.346/.418 slash line. He has a 106 matchup rating against Tyler Mahle, but you could probably get a better value in DFS if you're playing the early slate.
