Chicago White Sox 1B Justin Morneau is out of the lineup Saturday, July 23, with OF Avisail Garcia hitting seventh.

Fantasy Tip: Garcia is hitting just .156 this month and just .196 against left-handers. He's not a good option against lefty Matt Boyd.

Chicago White Sox OF Avisail Garcia remains out of the starting lineup Thursday, July 21, in favor of 1B Justin Morneau at designated hitter. Morneau is batting fifth and facing Detroit Tigers SP Mike Pelfrey.

Fantasy Tip: Garcia, who continues to frustrate fantasy owners with a .234/.309/.332 slash line and only five home runs, could continue to lose playing time at DH to Morneau, making him only an AL-only candidate at this point. Morneau has just three hits in 13 at-bats for the Pale Hose and is a shell of his former self. He's worth a flier, though, in AL leagues if he sees regular at-bats.

Chicago White Sox SS Tim Anderson and OF Avisail Garcia are not in the starting lineup Wednesday, July 20. SS Tyler Saladino is starting at shortstop and hitting ninth, while 1B Justin Morneau is serving as the designated hitter and batting cleanup against Seattle Mariners SP Felix Hernandez. Also, OF Melky Cabrera moves into the two-hole.

Fantasy Tip: There's not much to like about Saladino hitting ninth for DFS purposes against King Felix in his return. However, both Melky and Morneau can be under-the-radar value plays in prime lineup spots. Hernandez has put up good numbers but isn't his usual dominant self this year and is making his first start back today after a long layoff.

Chicago White Sox OF Avisail Garcia is out of the lineup Saturday, July 16, with 1B Justin Morneau in at DH and hitting sixth.

Fantasy Tip: Morneau takes on Matt Shoemaker, and it's probably not a good decision to use the DFS flyer on the former MVP in his first start this season.

Chicago White Sox OF Avisail Garcia is not in the starting lineup Friday, July 8. 2B Carlos Sanchez draws into the lineup at second base and is batting eighth against Atlanta Braves SP Matt Wisler Friday.

Fantasy Tip: Garcia is nearing bust territory given his .238/.307/.340 slash line and five home runs this season. Sanchez owns a career .314 slugging percentage through 554 plate appearances and shouldn't be in your daily contest plans Friday. He doesn't move the needle in seasonal leagues, either.

Chicago White Sox OF Melky Cabrera (wrist) is not in the starting lineup against Houston Astros SP Collin McHugh Sunday, July 3. OF Avisail Garcia will start in left field and is batting eighth. C Alex Avila will serve as the designated hitter, while C Dioner Navarro will start at catcher and is batting seventh.

Fantasy Tip: Navarro is hitting .333 with two extra base hits and four RBI over the last seven days and should be a starting candidate for some daily fantasy leagues. Garcia and Avila should be used in AL-only leagues but may not have much value in mixed leagues.

Chicago White Sox SS Tyler Saladino is starting at third base and is hitting ninth against Minnesota Twins SP Ricky Nolasco Wednesday, June 29. 3B Todd Frazier moves over to first base, 1B Jose Abreu is serving as the designated hitter and OF Avisail Garcia is in left field with OF Melky Cabrera (wrist) out.

Fantasy Tip: With Melky missing at least a few days, Saladino could sub in regularly in the short term. He's hitting just .250 on the year, though, and has just eight homers in the last two seasons, so his offensive upside is low. Look elsewhere tonight for a DFS sleeper at shortstop.
