Alex Rodriguez (rest) out of lineup Thursday
Yankees veteran third baseman Alex Rodriguez is getting the day off on Thursday against the Athletics in a day game after a night game. Mark Teixeira slides to DH and Garrett Jones will bat fifth and play first base in Rodriguez's place.
It's a regular day off for A-Rod, so there's no reason to worry about this. Jones, batting fifth, makes for an interesting option in daily fantasy today as there are not a lot of options to choose from and he's cheap and batting in the middle of the order. Jones has a .250/.291/.413 slash line against right-handed pitchers, so it's not amazing, but you could certainly do worse. All it takes is one fly ball to right and he more than pays off for you.
