3 years agoCincinnati Reds shortstop Kyle Farmer isn't starting on Friday. The 30-year-old has established himself as the Reds' starting shortstop this season, batting .262 with a .322 on-base percentage, 11 home runs, and two stolen bases in 380 plate appearances. However, he won't start against right-hander Zack Wheeler and the Philadelphia Phillies on Friday. Instead, it's Eugenio Suarez moving over from third base to start at shortstop. Suarez is batting seventh against Wheeler. The 29-year-old has continued to hit for power, with 22 home runs in 459 plate appearances. However, he's also batting .184 with a .259 on-base percentage this season. A .198 BABIP might have something to do with those struggles, but fantasy managers should probably look elsewhere for infield options against Wheeler in both daily fantasy play and season-long formats.--Ben Rosener - RotoBaller
