Brandon Dixon Starting At DH For Padres
1 year agoSan Diego Padres infielder Brandon Dixon is serving as the designated hitter and batting eighth in the lineup on Friday as the team kicks off the second half of the season against the Philadelphia Phillies and left-hander Cristopher Sanchez. Dixon hit well against lefties in the minors at Triple-A El Paso, but so far he's gone just 15-for-71 (.211) with two home runs, four doubles, eight RBI and nine runs scored in 30 games for the Padres, including going 5-for-35 (.143) with one homer and six RBI against southpaws in the big leagues in 2023. The 31-year-old right-handed hitter will be a low-cost deep DFS sleeper for Friday's slate of action to kick off the second half of the MLB season.
