Austin Jackson News
New York Mets outfielder Austin Jackson (rest) and infielder Wilmer Flores (rest) are out of the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Philadelphia Phillies. It appears both players are just getting a routine off day on Friday. Brandon Nimmo will lead off and play center field, while Dominic Smith will play first base and bat sixth versus righty Aaron Nola. Smith can be avoided in fantasy leagues and DFS contests. Nimmo could be an interesting DFS option because he's leading off. Nola has pitched excellent this season, so Nimmo isn't expected to hit phenomenally well off Nola.
New York Mets outfielder Austin Jackson will move up to third in the batting order and play center field versus righty Aaron Nola. Jackson has collected six hits over his last three games, so the Mets will attempt to ride his hot bat. However, Nola has been excellent this season, so Jackson is a risky DFS option even when he's batting in a favorable part of the order.
Free-agent outfielder Austin Jackson has reached an agreement with the New York Mets. There is multiple reports that the deal is going to be a major league deal. The Mets have three outfielders currently sidelined, so Jackson should provide some much needed depth. Jackson is hitting .242/.309/.295 through 59 games this season. He's only worth a look in NL-only leagues.
