3 years agoNew York Yankees infielder DJ LeMahieu (illness) was scratched from the lineup on Tuesday against the Philadelphia Phillies with an illness. The 33-year-old first baseman has struggled to produce this season, hitting only .269/.348/.363 with seven home runs, three stolen bases, 37 RBI and 47 runs through 88 games. Catcher Rob Brantly will pencil in at first base and bat sixth against right-handed pitcher Aaron Nola. Brantly doesn't have a major league at-bat yet this season but was hitting .270/.391/.477 with six home runs and 22 RBI in 34 games at the Triple-A level. There are far better DFS options to consider over Brantly. Hopefully, LeMahieu will be able to return to the starting lineup in short order.--Chelena Goldman
