Blue Jays' Ezequiel Carrera: Hitting leadoff Friday
Carrera is hitting leadoff and starting in right field Friday against the Red Sox, the Toronto Star's Brendan Kennedy reports.
Analysis:
The left-handed hitting Carrera has a chance to be a useful option in daily leagues Friday, as Jose Bautista will serve his one-game suspension, allowing Carrera to hit atop the lineup. His .333 average is bolstered by a .417 BABIP, and he actually has reverse splits for his career, but the spot atop the order in front of Josh Donaldson and Edwin Encarnacion is intriguing enough for daily leaguers to consider the 28-year-old.
