Leury Garcia Returns Saturday, Yoan Moncada Remains Out
3 years agoChicago White Sox outfielder Leury Garcia (knee) is back in the starting lineup on Saturday against the Detroit Tigers, but third baseman Yoan Moncada (hand) remains out. Garcia was scratched on Thursday with knee pain and also sat out on Friday. Moncada suffered a bruised right hand on a slide this week and is not expected to play at all this holiday weekend. Garcia is in right field and is hitting fifth, while rookie Jake Burger gets the nod at third base and is batting sixth against Tigers left-hander Tarik Skubal. The switch-hitting Garcia provides very little DFS upside with just a homer, 28 RBI and two steals on the season. Burger went 2-for-4 with a double in his major league debut on Friday and is worth a flier in deep mixed and AL-only leagues, especially if Moncada winds up on the injured list.
