Leo Jimenez Scratched Due To Illness
Toronto Blue Jays shortstop Leo Jimenez (illness) was scratched from Friday's lineup due to an illness. He was replaced by infield prospect Arjun Nimmala. Fantasy managers should monitor Jimenez's status over the weekend as he may need additional time to recover. Last summer, the 23-year-old made his MLB debut. He held a .229/.329/.358 line with four home runs across 63 contests. He generated a modest .228 xBA with a low 5.7 percent walk rate. Earlier in the summer, Jimenez posted a solid .271/.416/.431 line with eight doubles, seven home runs, with three swiped bags across 57 contests. When healthy, fantasy managers should expect Jimenez to compete for a depth role in the infield. However, if he has a poor showing in camp, he could be on the outside of the Opening Day roster and begin the season at Triple-A.
