LaMonte Wade Jr. Out With Hand Strain
3 years agoSan Francisco Giants outfielder LaMonte Wade Jr. (hand) was scratched Friday with a hand strain, according to MLB.com. Steven Duggar joins Alex Dickerson and Mike Yastrzemski in the Giants outfield against Washington Nationals right-hander Paolo Espino. Stay tuned for updates on Wade and consider him day-to-day for now. The 27-year-old has been quietly productive this season, slashing .254/.344/.835 in 114 at-bats and has been filling in at first base with Brandon Belt injured. Though he's struggled against lefties, he could be a deep-league or NL-only option, especially in formats with daily lineup changes. Duggar, hitting .299 this year, can be a plug-in for desperate fantasy managers on Friday in a good matchup.
