Oneil Cruz Out on Wednesday Against Lefty
Oneil Cruz is out of the starting lineup for Wednesday's game at Comerica Park against a tough left-hander. Outfield prospect Billy Cook will make the start in center field and hit ninth against Tigers left-hander Tarik Skubal after being recalled from Triple-A Indianapolis. Cruz could use the day off after going 10-for-50 (.200) with a homer, four RBI, seven steals, nine walks and 20 strikeouts in 60 plate appearances in 14 games so far in the month of June. The former shortstop hasn't hit for average (.223) but has 13 long balls, 30 RBI, 40 runs scored and a league-leading 25 stolen bases. The 26-year-old has also struck out a league-high 91 times in his 279 trips to the plate in his fifth year in the majors. Fantasy managers will want to avoid Cook as a deep sleeper in DFS in what will be just his 17th big-league game.
