Los Angeles Dodgers third baseman Edwin Rios "has earned more playing time at 3B," per Dodgers manager Dave Roberts. (Bill Plunkett on Twitter )
Fantasy Impact
Roberts ruled out Justin Turner, who they re-signed last week, playing at 1B to get Rios more time at the hot corner but he acknowledged that the 26-year-old certainly deserved more playing time. Turner, who is 36-years-old will get more off days, which should clear a path for Rios to play more. Rios slugged eight home runs with a .946 OPS over 76 at-bats last year and has been a popular late-round pick in fantasy drafts. The Turner re-signing squashed some of the hype but he's still an intriguing name to watch.
