Edwin Encarnacion (finger) to miss third straight game

Edwin Encarnacion will miss his third consecutive game with a finger injury. Chris Colabello will DH and bat cleanup while Justin Smoak will play first base and bat sixth against the Athletics.

What It Means:

Athletics right-handed starter Aaron Brooks was acquired as part of the Ben Zobrist trade. He has a 2.41 ERA and 3.63 xFIP in 18.2 innings pitched this season.

Colabello is crushing righties at a .373 wOBA, and that goes up to .425 wOBA against righties in Toronto, where they're playing today. Smoak is projected as the top value play among all first basemen on DraftKings today, per our algorithm. Both players are worthy of a fantasy play today.
