3 years agoSan Francisco Giants first baseman/outfielder LaMonte Wade Jr. is not in the lineup for Sunday's game against Max Fried and the Atlanta Braves, according to MLB.com. Wade Jr. has come out of nowhere to put up a very productive season for the division-leading Giants, slashing .262/.340/.517 with 18 HRs and six stolen bases over 97 games. He's struggled mightily against lefties this season, though, with a .366 OPS and will take a seat on the bench. Darin Ruf will get the start in the outfield and bat leadoff. Ruf has been a nice bench option this season, slashing .272/.392/.520 with 15 HRs in 113 games, and he has a 1.034 OPS off of lefties this season. He should be streamed in every league if available on the waiver wire.--Spencer Seguin - RotoBaller
