Los Angeles Angels first baseman Jose Fernandez is not in Wednesday's lineup against Yohander Mendez and the Texas Rangers. Fernandez has been LA's primary first baseman over the last month, but will give way to the right-handed hitting Jefry Marte, who is batting sixth. Fernandez is slashing .261/.293/.378 with two home runs and one steal on the year, and is not worth owning in most fantasy formats. Marte would be a nice, cheap 1B option in DFS formats today against a subpar left-hander.
Los Angeles Angels first baseman Jose Fernandez (hand) was diagnosed with a right hand contusion on Saturday after X-rays showed no fracture. Fernandez left the game early on Saturday after getting hit by a pitch. Consider him day-to-day for now. With the Angels playing out the string, Fernandez is getting a lot of playing time. He is 28-for-104 (.269) with two homers and 10 RBI through 32 games with the Halos.
Los Angeles Angels first baseman Jose Fernandez is not in Wednesday's lineup. Jefry Marte is starting in his place, batting fifth. The left-handed hitting Fernandez is likely getting a day off against the left-handed Brett Anderson. Marte is a decent DFS play this evening, hitting behind Mike Trout, Justin Upton and Shohei Ohtani.
Los Angeles Angels first baseman Jose Fernandez has been bumped to second in the order on Tuesday. Fernandez has been hitting seventh, but David Fletcher's hamstring injury may keep him out for the rest of the season. That allows Fernandez to hit after Kole Calhoun and ahead of Mike Trout and Shohei Ohtani, a considerably more attractive spot in the order. Fernandez will be a nice DFS play for owners looking for a cheap 1B option.
Los Angeles Angels first baseman Jose Fernandez is in the lineup on Friday, batting seventh and playing first base. Fernandez has now started six games in a row, and has cemented himself as LA's primary option at first base. He is slashing .275/.310/.450 with two home runs and a stolen base in September, and is not a bad option for those in very deep leagues who still need counting stats this season.
