AJ Pollock News
Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder AJ Pollock is not part of the starting lineup for the team's game against the Oakland Athletics on Monday. Pollock sat the season opener, then went on to start three straight games in left field, going 2-for-14 with three runs, seven strikeouts and no extra-base hits. Zach McKinistry is getting the start in left field in Monday's game. Pollock should be in the lineup most nights going forward, but the team has so much depth that if his opening weekend struggles continue, he could see his playing time dwindle down.
Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder AJ Pollock will get the start on Friday and bat seventh in the lineup against the Rockies. Pollock replaces Opening Day left fielder Chris Taylor in the lineup, as he looks to rebound from a rough Spring Training that saw him slash .146/.260/.244 in 18 games. Despite the shortened 2020 season, Pollock saw a surge in power last season as his 16 home runs surpassed his 2019 total, while his .566 SLG was a career-high. Pollock has a career .315/.364/.557 triple-slash line with 17 home runs against the Rockies, and a .316/.363/.561 line with nine home runs at Coors Field. Pollock could be a good bet to hit a home run tonight, and is worth tossing into your fantasy lineup.
Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder AJ Pollock is not in the team's Opening Day lineup as they face German Marquez and the Colorado Rockies. Following the lineup decision, Dodgers manager Dave Roberts told the press that Pollock would be starting the team's next three games against the Rockies from Friday through Sunday. Roberts also said that Taylor, who is starting in left field on Opening Day, would play three of four games. Based on this breakdown, it seems likely that Gavin Lux will be on the bench for two of the next three games while Taylor shifts over to second base.

After signing a long-term deal with the Los Angeles Dodgers, many were wondering how outfielder AJ Pollock would do on a contending team. If the small sample of last season proved anything, it's that when he's able to stay healthy, Pollock can be one of the top outfielders in the game in spurts. After playing in only 86 games in 2019 due to injury while hitting .266/.337/.468, Pollock improved in 2020. Playing in fewer games (55), Pollock had a slash line of .276/.314/.566. His batting average and slugging percentage were his best marks since his lone All-Star season in 2015. While walking at a snail's pace (12), Pollock's weighted on-base average (.364) was the highest it has been since he became a true star. The power is also there (.291 ISO). The 33-year-old could see more playing time with Joc Pederson out of town, but he's played in over 113 games just twice in nine years because of injuries and can be a frustrating player to own because of extreme hot-and-cold stretches. Pollock is a fringy top-50 outfielder with some pop who mostly benefits from being in a stacked Dodgers lineup.
