Toronto Blue Jays outfielder Joey Loperfido (hip) is back in the starting lineup ahead of Wednesday's game against the Texas Rangers. The 25-year-old has been out of the lineup since suffering a groin injury during Saturday's contest. It appears the rookie outfielder is ready to go and will cover center field and bat eighth versus left-hander Cody Bradford on Wednesday. Loperfido doesn't face left-handed pitching very often, but does have decent results in a small sample size. He's not a great DFS option for Wednesday, but fantasy managers in season-long formats can get him back in their lineups.
Toronto Blue Jays outfielder Joey Loperfido (hip) left Saturday's game early due to left adductor discomfort, according to Mike Wallner of the Toronto Star. The 25-year-old was lifted in the fifth inning after grabbing his hip in pain. He was replaced by infielder Luis De Los Santos after Addison Barger shifted to cover left field. Fantasy managers should pay close attention to Sunday's starting nine, as the Duke product may need an extra day off. Since the start of the month, Loperfido has carried a .250/.276/.357 line with three doubles and three RBI. If Loperfido happens to miss an extended period of time, Davis Schneider will likely see an uptick in playing time in the outfield.
Toronto Blue Jays outfielder Joey Loperfido is back in the starting lineup ahead of Tuesday's game against the New York Mets. The rookie slugger sat out on Monday, which appears to have been a routine rest game. He'll return to the lineup on Tuesday, but he'll face left-hander David Peterson. Loperfido has limited playing time against left-handed pitching this season. He's hitting 6-for-33 with one home run against the southpaw during his time in the majors. Loperfido won't be an ideal DFS option for Tuesday, but fantasy managers in season long formats can get him back in their lineups.
