Dexter Fowler

Dexter Fowler activated from DL, batting third Friday for Cardinals

St. Louis Cardinals outfielder Dexter Fowler is starting against the New York Mets on Friday night after being activated from the 10-day disabled list.

What It Means:

Fowler has been on the shelf since June 24 due to a heel injury. He's starting in center field and batting third on Friday night against right-hander Jacob deGrom and the Mets. Tommy Pham will head to the Cardinals' bench while Jose Martinez was optioned to Triple-A Memphis in a corresponding roster move.

numberFire's models project Fowler for 10.3 FanDuel points at an affordable $2,700 on FanDuel tonight, but his upside may be limited by a low implied total (3.85), as well as an uninviting over/under (7.5) and park factor (0.972). On top of that, deGrom owns an imposing 29.0 strikeout percentage this season.
