Baltimore Orioles outfielder/designated hitter Eloy Jimenez is not in the team's starting lineup on Wednesday at Fenway Park against the division-rival Boston Red Sox. Jimenez finds himself on the bench again in favor of Anthony Santander, who is serving as the DH and batting third against Red Sox right-hander Nick Pivetta. Austin Slater is in right field and is batting seventh for the O's. Jimenez, 27, continues to see infrequent playing time in Baltimore towards the end of the season. He's now played in 29 games in Baltimore since being acquired in late July by the Chicago White Sox, and he's slashed a mediocre .253/.293/.345 with only one home run, five RBI and seven RBI in his 92 plate appearances. Without frequent playing time in Baltimore, it's hard to recommend holding Jimenez in most mixed fantasy leagues.
Baltimore Orioles rookie third baseman Coby Mayo and outfielder/designated hitter Eloy Jimenez will both start Monday's game on the bench against the Chicago White Sox at Camden Yards. Emmanuel Rivera will get the start at third base and will bat ninth, while Austin Slater will start in right field and bat seventh against White Sox right-hander Chris Flexen. Anthony Santander is the designated hitter and is batting cleanup. Mayo, the team's top prospect per MLB Pipeline, got the call-up on Sunday when rosters expanded and went 1-for-2 with a run scored and a strikeout in just his eighth big-league game. The 22-year-old has only two hits and 11 strikeouts in his first 23 major-league plate appearances in Baltimore, but he figures to see the majority of playing time at the hot corner for the O's with both Ramon Urias (ankle) and Jordan Westburg (hand) on the injured list.
Baltimore Orioles outfielder/designated hitter Eloy Jimenez will take a seat on Thursday against the division-rival Boston Red Sox at Camden Yards. With Jimenez sitting against a right-hander, catcher Adley Rutschman is serving as the designated hitter and is batting fifth, while Ryan O'Hearn plays first base and bats cleanup. James McCann is catching and batting ninth against Red Sox right-hander Nick Pivetta. Rutschman is a must-start in all fantasy lineups, while O'Hearn will be a nice low-cost DFS play at first base in the cleanup spot. He's also hitting .333 with a homer and two at-bats in his career against Pivetta with a 1.166 OPS. Jimenez has gone 12-for-29 (.414) with two doubles and four RBI in his first 10 games since joining the O's in a trade from the Chicago White Sox, but he's settled into the short side of a platoon with O'Hearn, which limits his fantasy upside to close out the year.
Baltimore Orioles outfielder Eloy Jimenez is out of the starting lineup ahead of Tuesday's game against the Washington Nationals. The O's have decided to give the oft-injured slugger the day off after he started in four straight games. Jimenez is off to a hot start with his new team. He's 12-for-24 with four RBI in eight games with the O's. Ryan O'Hearn will get the start at designated hitter and bat cleanup versus right-hander Jake Irvin. O'Hearn is hitting .274 with 12 home runs and 45 RBI against right-handed pitching this season. He could be a low-end streaming option against Irvin who has allowed four earned runs or more in each of his last two starts.
Baltimore Orioles designated hitter Eloy Jimenez is taking a seat on Saturday night as they face Drew Rasmussen and the Tampa Bay Rays. Anthony Santander will be hitting in the DH spot while Austin Slater will be taking Santander's outfield role and will hit seventh. Jimenez has been a great acquisition for the Orioles as the 27-year-old is 11-21 with his new club. Him taking a seat shouldn't worry fantasy managers as it appears Baltimore is taking more of a platoon approach to tonight's matchup. With Slater getting the extra opportunity tonight, he is hitting for a .576 OPS on the season and only has seven PA with his new team, though he is three-for-five with two walks in his short stint in Baltimore. DFS managers willing to take a chance on Slater may get him at a cheap cost, but the move may be risky. Fantasy managers should expect Jimenez to be back in the lineup tomorrow against Rays' scheduled starter Jeffrey Springs.
