Los Angeles Angels infielder David Fletcher is starting at third base and hitting ninth on Monday against right-hander Lucas Giolito. Typically, Fletcher will start against left-handers with Luis Valbuena taking the majority of playing time against right-handers. No word if Fletcher has won the starting third base job outright, or if this is simply a day off for Valbuena. If Fletcher is going to get every day at-bats, he is worth a look in deeper formats. He is currently hitting .273 with one[...]

Los Angeles Angels third baseman David Fletcher is hitting leadoff on Tuesday against Wade LeBlanc and the Seattle Mariners. Fletcher appears to have taken over regular duties at third base, frequently starting against both right and left-handed pitching. The move to the top of the order is another huge boost for the rookie. If that sticks, look for him to enjoy more runs hitting in front of Mike Trout. Fletcher is a nice add in deeper formats, especially since he has shortstop eligibility.

Every week in baseball, a significant player will hit the disabled list, slip into a slump, or get traded out of a good spot. How fantasy owners adapt to these situations can make or break the season as a whole. One lousy add might not hurt the long-term standing of a team, but failing to take advantage of breakouts or impact bats before others sure can. The primary challenge of playing in an NL or AL-only league is often the lack of options regarding adding and subtracting players when neede[...]

Los Angeles Angels rookie infielder David Fletcher will make his big league debut on Wednesday, starting at third base and batting ninth. Fletcher was recalled on Tuesday when Jefry Marte (wrist) was placed on the DL. Fletcher was tearing it up in Triple-A, slashing .350/.394/.559 with six home runs and seven steals. He's likely going to be a part-time player with the Angels however, and is not worth a look outside of very deep formats.

The Los Angeles Angels have placed first baseman Jefry Marte (wrist) on the disabled list. They have recalled middle infielder David Fletcher, who will be making his first trip to the big leagues. With Marte out, Jose Fernandez has a clear path to playing time at first base. Fernandez may be worth a look in deeper leagues temporarily. Fletcher is likely just middle infield depth, and won't play enough to garner attention in most fantasy formats.

Los Angeles Angels outfielder Eric Young Jr. has been informed he will not be on the Angels' Opening Day roster. Infielder David Fletcher, pitcher Ian Krol, pitcher John Lamb, outfielder Rymer Liriano and pitcher Osmer Morales were also left off the Angels' 25-man roster, though all will remain in major league camp. Young hit a respectable .310 in spring training, but the Angels are going with Chris Young as their fourth outfielder. It is unclear if the 32-year-old will remain in Los Angeles as [...]
