| News: Ankiel is back in the lineup for Monday's game against the Phillies, Adam Kilgore of the Washington Post reports. | Impact: Ankiel starts most games in center field for the Nationals, but Bryce Harper is seeing action there on days Ankiel sits. Ankiel's defensive prowess will earn him a spot in the lineup most days, but if Harper can handle center field, the Nationals may opt to use a better offensive player in one of the corners with Ankiel owning just a .666 OPS. As such, Ankiel will have to up his production at the plate to be of use to fantasy owners and remain a fixture in the lineup.(RotoWire, ) |
