5 years agoColorado Rockies shortstop Trevor Story is not in the team's lineup Thursday after suffering a thumb injury Wednesday. He is still day-to-day as he is set to undergo an MRI. Story's shortstop position will be taken by Pat Valaika batting eighth, while his usual second spot in the order goes to outfielder Ian Desmond for the first time this season. Despite a slow start -- batting .198/.252/.387 as late as May 7 -- Desmond has worked his way to a .272/.333/.502 line this season. Despite the game being in Arizona, Desmond will also have the platoon advantage against Arizona starter Robbie Ray and is worthy of DFS consideration in a tiny two-game slate.--Nathaniel Green
