Josh Bell, Jesus Sanchez Sitting Against Lefty
5 months agoBoth Miami Marlins first baseman Josh Bell and outfielder Jesus Sanchez will retreat to the bench on Saturday with the visiting Chicago White throwing a left-hander. Jake Burger will start at first base and bat third, while Dane Myers will draw into right field and serve as the cleanup hitter against White Sox left-hander Garrett Crochet, who has been one of the best starters in baseball in the first half. Emmanuel Rivera also draws into the lineup at third base while batting fifth for the Fish. Bell has hit only .216 (24-for-111) with three of his eight homers this year against southpaws, while Sanchez has been even worse against lefties with a .093 average (4-for-43) with one of his nine long balls. Both left-handed hitters have decent power from the left side but have been below-average hitters for fantasy managers in 2024.
