Chandler Simpson is leading off on Tuesday against the Diamondbacks.
Simpson finds himself in the leadoff spot for the second time in three starts since being called up last week from Triple-A Durham. The 24-year-old speedster has gone 2-for-8 with a double, one RBI and one steal in two games. He figures to continue leading off against right-handed pitchers and should be rostered in all fantasy formats thanks to his game-changing stolen base potential.
Heliot Ramos went 3-for-4 in a loss to the Diamondbacks on Monday.
Ramos was one of the few hitters who had any offensive success against Merrill Kelly in a game where the GIants were held to just one run by Kelly and the D-Backs’ bullpen.
