3 years agoThe Cleveland Guardians traded outfielder Jordan Luplow and pitcher DJ Johnson to the Tampa Bay Rays in exchange for pitcher Peyton Battenfield. Luplow was activated from the 60-day injured list on Friday and had been sidelined since late May with an ankle injury. He will head to Tampa Bay and give the Rays outfield depth. The 27-year-old is slashing .173/.331/.439 with seven home runs, 20 RBI, and 12 runs scored over 36 games in 2021. With the move to Tampa Bay, Luplow is expected to receive most of his playing against lefties and is not on the fantasy radar in 2021. As for Johnson, he's appeared in only one game for the Guardians and will provide the Rays minor league bullpen depth.--Brad Camara - RotoBaller
