Fantasy Impact:

Wade will sit against left-hander Nick Lodolo, continuing San Francisco’s trend of shielding him from same-sided matchups. Wilmer Flores will cover first base, with Casey Schmitt sliding in as the designated hitter. Wade’s platoon usage limits his fantasy value in daily formats, especially in leagues that penalize missed starts.
