Justin Turner To Be Rested Tuesday
4 years agoLos Angeles Dodgers third baseman Justin Turner will receive the day off on Tuesday against the Arizona Diamondbacks, allowing first baseman Albert Pujols to make his second straight start at first base after making his team debut with the Blue on Monday night. Because of Corey Seager's (hand) injury, Gavin Lux has shifted to shortstop and Max Muncy will handle the keystone more often than not, opening up some playing time at first for Pujols. The future Hall of Famer did have a crucial RBI single in his Dodgers debut and his underlying metrics this year suggest he's been a bit unlucky, but Pujols remains a low-upside DFS and season-long fantasy asset in his second start with LA on Tuesday night against Diamondbacks right-hander Merrill Kelly.
