Gary Sanchez Resting Thursday
1 year agoSan Diego Padres catcher Gary Sanchez is resting for the first contest of a huge four-game series against the division-rival Arizona Diamondbacks on Thursday. Luis Campusano is getting the start behind the plate and will hit seventh against Diamondbacks ace Zac Gallen. Sanchez has been a godsend for the Padres this year, clubbing 16 home runs and driving in 41 in just 198 at-bats, but he's also hitting just .217 (43-for-198). The 30-year-old has nine home runs, three doubles, 20 RBI and 13 runs scored in 22 games (21 starts) since the All-Star break. He remains relevant for his power in single-catcher leagues. Campusano has also been great in just 79 at-bats for the Friars this year (.316 average) with four home runs, but he has a shy-away matchup in DFS against Gallen.
