Keibert Ruiz Back In Action Against Marlins
1 year agoWashington Nationals catcher Keibert Ruiz (head) is back in the lineup as the designated hitter and is batting cleanup on Friday against Miami Marlins left-hander Braxton Garrett. Riley Adams will do the catching and bat seventh. The Nationals scratched Ruiz due to light-headedness in Thursday's series finale against the New York Yankees after he took a foul tip off his mask on Wednesday. The 25-year-old backstop appears to have avoided a concussion, though, and he'll be back in action this weekend for a series against the Fish. Fantasy managers will want to get him back into their lineups, as Ruiz has been on fire at the plate this month, going 23-for-69 (.333) with four home runs, five doubles, 12 RBI and 11 runs scored in 19 games (18 starts).
