JJ Bleday Sitting against A Southpaw - MLB News | Fantasy Baseball

Bleday HITS The Bench

On Saturday, Miguel Cabrera started at first over JJ Bleday, and he played right field.

Bleday has seen playing time in 60 percent of the games this season.

However, the outfielder is struggling at the plate as he is slashing just .091/.182/.091 with 21 strikeouts compared to just two walks.

Will He Hit The Field Again?

Against a right-handed pitcher, there's a chance that Bleday could get back into the lineup.

On Friday night, he singled and drew a pair of walks.

Of course, when playing against a lefty, Cabrera will be in at first.

What's Next

At the moment, it's tough to say if Bleday will be a consistent starter moving forward.

However, it does seem likely that he'll continue to get playing time against right-handers.

He's still just 24 years old, so there's plenty of time for him to develop into a solid fantasy option.
