Richie Shaffer boosts roster bid with two more hits

1B/3B Richie Shaffer went 2-for-3 with a double and an RBI-single in the Indians' Cactus League win over the Rockies on Thursday.
Fantasy Impact:
The non-roster invitee manned third base again as the competition heats up to fill the void that will be left by Jason Kipnis' injury. Richie Shaffer leads the Indians with four home runs in Spring Training but with 21 strikeouts to just three walks. He also leads in at-bats, showing that the Indians want to get a good look at the powerful slugger, before making their decision. If Shaffer gets the opportunity to be the Indians' everyday third baseman, he could produce similar numbers to the Reds' Adam Duvall last year.
