Anthony Rizzo Out Of The Lineup Sunday
2 years agoNew York Yankees first baseman Anthony Rizzo (back) is not in the starting lineup on Sunday against the St. Louis Cardinals. Rizzo will miss his third straight game after being scratched from the lineup on Friday with back soreness. It's unclear if this injury will lead to an injured list stint for Rizzo, but fantasy managers should consider him day-to-day for now. In his absence, DJ LeMahieu will get the start at the cold corner and will hit leadoff on Sunday against Cardinals right-hander Adam Wainwright. LeMahieu will be a popular DFS play out of the leadoff spot. He's hitting .304 (7-for-23) with a homer, two RBI and four runs scored in the last week and is hitting .285 (103-for-362) with 11 homers and 42 RBI on the season.
