Jose Iglesias Sitting Again
3 years agoLos Angeles Angels shortstop Jose Iglesias is absent from Monday's starting lineup against the New York Yankees. This is the second consecutive game that Iglesias has rode the bench, with Jack Mayfield taking his spot both times. Angels manager Joe Maddon stated that he wants to take a closer look at Mayfield for the future. He is hitting .211 but does have some power with eight home runs and a .408 slugging in 56 games. This doesn't affect many fantasy leagues, as Mayfield is only a deep-league option, and Iglesias is slashing just .259/.295/.375 with five stolen bases. But for those rostering Iglesias, it would be a good move to find another option to take his roster spot.
