The Los Angeles Angels have suffered injuries all across their infield this season, which has led to them being forced to play journeyman utility infielder Tommy La Stella and fringe-prospect David Fletcher in regular roles.However, that decision is paying off in a big way for the Halos, as both players are hitting out of their mind to start off the 2019 campaign.

Fletcher has a hit in 19 of the last 23 games he has appeared in where he saw at least one plate appearance. He is slugging .455 over his last 15 games and is hitting .304 with runners in scoring position. It is hard to ju[...]
