Washington Nationals OF Elijah Dukes (foot) was scratched from the starting lineup against the Houston Astros Saturday, March 13, because of a sore left foot, according to MLB.com’s Bill Ladson. He is expected to play against the Colorado Rockies Sunday, March 14. Dukes suffered the injury when he was hit by a pitched ball Monday, March 8.
Our Instinct: The 25 year old Dukes has talent, but will he ever use it remains to be seen. He hit .250-8-58-38-3 in 2009. Expect an improvement this year, but don’t expect him to be more than a utility option in most leagues.
