Maikel Franco Scratched From The Lineup Tuesday
3 years agoBaltimore Orioles third baseman Maikel Franco (ankle) has been scratched from the starting lineup on Tuesday. Franco was trying to play for the first time since last Wednesday. In his stead, Domingo Leyba will start at third base and bat ninth against Toronto Blue Jays left-hander Steven Matz. Franco could be looking at a stint on the injured list now, so fantasy managers in deep mixed and AL-only leagues need to make alternate plans for the week. The 28-year-old is slashing .221/.265/.376 with nine home runs, 27 runs and 42 RBI on the season. Leyba isn't a recommended DFS lottery ticket with just four hits (one homer) in 47 at-bats (.085) in 20 games with the Orioles and Arizona Diamondbacks in 2021.
