Rays' Taylor Motter: Mashes second homer against Marlins

Motter hit his second home run and knocked in three as part of a 2-for-3 game with a walk in Monday's loss to Miami.

Analysis:

Motter's early returns with the Rays continue to be excellent, as he has three extra-base hits and a .308/.400/.846 line through his first 15 plate appearances. He posted double-digit-homer seasons in the minor leagues in both 2014 and 2015, but Motter's still in a platoon situation with Brad Miller at shortstop. He's an intriguing option for DFS when the Rays are facing left-handed pitching thanks to his above-average power at shortstop.
