Eddie Rosario, Luis Garcia Jr. Sitting Versus Lefty
8 months agoWashington Nationals outfielder Eddie Rosario and second baseman Luis Garcia Jr. are both sitting on Saturday with the team taking on a left-handed pitcher against the visiting Philadelphia Phillies. Rookie outfielder Jacob Young will start in center field and bat ninth, while Ildemaro Vargas is playing the keystone and hitting seventh versus Phillies southpaw Ranger Suarez. The 32-year-old Rosario probably isn't going to play much against lefties in his platoon role in D.C. in 2024, so this shouldn't be a big surprise. Garcia, 23, is hitting .368 (7-for-19) with a league-leading five doubles, but the Nats also want to pick and choose their spots with the young infielder this year. It's hard to recommend either Vargas or Young in DFS contests while at the bottom of Washington's lineup on Saturday.
