Isiah Kiner-Falefa Out On Saturday
2 years agoNew York Yankees shortstop Isiah Kiner-Falefa is not in the starting lineup on Saturday against the Houston Astros. Kiner-Falefa has played in the last three games after missing the previous three games earlier this week with a hamstring injury. The 27-year-old is still searching for his first long ball of the season and is hitting .265/.320/.315 with 18 RBI, 35 runs scored and 10 stolen bases in 241 plate appearances over 64 games this year. IKF's speed is what makes him useful in fantasy. Veteran Marwin Gonzalez is at shortstop and is batting eighth on Saturday against Astros right-hander Cristian Javier. Gonzalez doesn't offer a whole lot of fantasy upside, but he has gone 5-for-15 (.333) with two home runs and three RBI in five games over the last week.
