4 years agoOakland Athletics designated hitter Khris Davis is among the club’s starting nine for Wednesday’s contest versus the Dodgers and right-hander Joe Kelly. But with Kelly expected to serve just as the club’s opener ahead of bulk pitcher Julio Urias, Oakland has opted to keep Davis in the lineup despite having become essentially a platoon player at this stage. Davis’ prolific power output of prior seasons appears to be a thing of the past, having delivered just a .325 SLG with two homers through his first 26 games this year. He is a DFS-only fantasy commodity at this stage due to his punt play price tag, but even then, he holds boom-or-bust potential.--Jesse Borek
