Victor Robles Batting Ninth Wednesday
4 years agoWashington Nationals outfielder Victor Robles has been moved from first to ninth in the team's batting order for Wednesday's game. Trea Turner and Juan Soto move up one spot to first and second, respectively. One spot makes no real difference in Turner and Soto's immense fantasy value, but falling eight spots is not good for Robles' already shaky value. A career .248/.321/.402 hitter with an 83.4 mph average exit velocity, his stolen base potential is playable in standard leagues when he leads off but less so as a #9 hitter. If you have a bench spot available it's probably best to keep Robles there starting today and monitor his situation.
