Raimel Tapia Not In Tuesday's Lineup
3 years agoColorado Rockies outfielder Raimel Tapia is absent from Tuesday's starting lineup to take on the Washington Nationals, according to MLB.com. Tapia has given fantasy managers a .273 batting average with 20 SBs, but he has little power (six home runs, .369 slugging). Garrett Hampson will take his spot in the outfield and bat leadoff. Hampson, like Tapia, has speed with 17 steals but doesn't provide anything else with the bat as he's slashing .239/.295/.388 with 11 HRs over 143 games. However, with left-hander Patrick Corbin on the bump for the Rockies, he's a good streaming option with a strong .837 OPS off southpaws, especially in the leadoff spot.
