7 years agoWashington Nationals outfielder Michael Taylor (side) has returned to the Nationals lineup for Saturday's Grapefruit game. He'll man his usual position in center field and bat fifth. That's a few slots above his normal position of eighth, which would be notable but Anthony Rendon is sitting and manager Dave Martinez is tinkering with batting his pitcher ninth. If Taylor did move up in the order permanently, it would significantly boost his fantasy value. He'd been pulled as a precautionary measure two weeks ago due to a side strain. But it wasn't as serious as his oblique injury that sidelined him for a month in 2017. Instead, he took it easy on the minor league backfields, launching a few homers while he recovered. He's a great sleeper pick for 2018, especially given his multi-category contributions.--Mario Hernandez - RotoBaller
