Rangers' Mike Napoli to DH on Friday
Texas Rangers first baseman and designated hitter Mike Napoli will serve as the club's DH on Friday against the New York Yankees.
What It Means:
Napoli will take a break from the field and allow Joey Gallo to get some reps at first. He'll hit eighth while Gallo hits ninth against Masahiro Tanaka.
Napoli has made a fool of Tanaka in 17 career plate appearances against him. He has amassed 2 home runs, 3 doubles and a .647 on-base percentage against the right-hander. That said, our models have Napoli down for 8.7 FanDuel points tonight.
