Sonny Gray Scratched from Opening Night Start with Food Poisoning

Oakland Athletics starting pitcher Sonny Gray may actually want to start eating different food. For the second time in his short career, the ace pitcher has been scratched from a start due to food poisoning. 

This latest incident comes with him slated to start Oakland's season opener at home against the Chicago White Sox on Monday evening. 

Free-agent acquisition Rich Hill will start in Gray's stead. 

You don't need to be a genius to understand what this means from a DFS perspective. If you are taking part in a late-game only contest, potentially swap Hill in for Gray while adding a higher-upside player at another position.

Chris Sale, Jake Arrieta and Zack Greinke are all late-game options that you can add while shorting yourself at another position.

Our recommendation is going with Hill while adding someone of more value at a hitting position.
