It’s a surprisingly full slate for a Monday, with only a few teams traveling and 11 games on the schedule around MLB. That means lots to keep track of for fantasy baseball and DFS players alike, so our daily lineup report is here to make sure you’re up to date with who’s in and who’s out.
MLB starting lineups: Monday, May 15
New York Mets vs. Washington Nationals, 4:05 p.m. ET
A bit of an unorthodox lineup for New York, with Daniel Vogelbach sitting and Pete Alonso serving as the DH. Mark Canha will man first base and bat fifth against a lefty while Tommy Pham moves all the way up to the cleanup spot. Eduardo Escobar spells Brett Baty at third and Francisco Alvarez gets a start behind the plate.
Last one in DC. #LGM
