Josh VanMeter Fantasy

Cincinnati Reds outfielder Josh VanMeter (shin) is feeling good, according to manager David Bell. VanMeter had been dealing with left shin tendinitis during spring training but should be fine for Opening Day, whenever that may be. Bell told reporters that VanMeter is now feeling 100%. The 25-year-old was competing for a spot on the Opening Day roster before the coronavirus delayed the start of the season. At most, he might have some appeal for depth purposes in NL-only leagues if he makes the Opening Day roster.

Cincinnati Reds outfielder/infielder Josh VanMeter is in the lineup for the first time since Friday after missing time with an illness. He is back in the leadoff spot against Milwaukee starting pitcher Jordan Lyles. The game starts at 6:40 but even if it is in your DFS slate, VanMeter is not the best target. In addition, outside of deepest standard leagues he does not offer much the rest of the regular season, hitting .240/.325/.415 this season despite a fast start and with the Reds visiting Pittsburgh for the final series.

Cincinnati Reds rookie infielder Josh VanMeter stayed hot in a 6-1 win over the St. Louis Cardinals on Saturday. VanMeter went 2-for-2 with two walks and a run in the win. The rookie has been a pleasant surprise for the Reds, hitting .293 with an .855 OPS, four homers, 18 runs, 13 RBI, and four steals in 123 at-bats. VanMeter has been swinging a hot bat of late, hitting .333 over his past seven games. He is worth a look in deeper, National League-only formats going forward.
