Los Angeles Angels catcher Jonathan Lucroy (illness) was scratched from the starting lineup on Monday with a stomach virus. Dustin Garneau will now do the catching and hit eighth against A's starting pitcher Chris Bassitt. Garneau should be avoided in all fantasy leagues.

Lucroy's slugging percentage has been sliding downwards the past few seasons but was lauded by many in the A's organization for his handling of the pitching staff last season. The Angels are banking on that moxie behind the plate and Lucroy is the unquestioned starter moving forward. It is hard to envision Lucroy putting together a full[...]
