Edwin Ríos Stats

Los Angeles Dodgers infielder Edwin Rios will not be an everyday player in 2021 with the newly re-signed Justin Turner back in the fold. Nevertheless, Rios has serious sleeper upside, as the Dodgers will try to preserve the health of the 36-year-old Turner. Rios slashed .250/.301/.645 with eight homers and 17 RBI across 76 at-bats in 2020. He also belted 31 HRs at Triple-A Oklahoma during 2019, showing off a legitimate power stroke. If Rios can get at least 250 at-bats in 2021, he will have end-of-roster value in standard leagues. If he ever gets an everyday role, he is a must-own asset with exposure to that loaded Dodgers' lineup.

Los Angeles Dodgers first/third baseman Edwin Rios will serve as the designated hitter for Game 1 of Wednesdays wild-card series versus Milwaukee and left-hander Brent Suter. Rios start will mark the first of his postseason career, and may also be an indication that manager Dave Roberts isnt starting purely right-handed bats in response to Suters start. In a small sample size, Rios has homered three times in 19 plate appearances versus southpaws this season, giving him DFS appeal due to his reasonable price tag.

Los Angeles Dodgers infielder Edwin Rios is starting at third base in place of the injured Justin Turner (hamstring) on Tuesday. Rios was activated on Tuesday after a stint on the injured list that kept him out since August 16, but the 26-year-old had been red-hot with a 1.012 OPS over his first 14 games this season. A prototypical power hitter, Rios has paired a 50% hard-hit rate with a 17% swinging-strike rate so far this season, combining to fuel an impressive .395 xwOBA. Rios will probably cool off somewhat over the rest of the season, but hes likely to be the Dodgers primary third-baseman with Turner sidelined and is worth a look from fantasy players as a result.
