Miami Marlins OF Ichiro Suzuki had one hit Tuesday, July 26, in a 5-0 shutout of the Philadelphia Phillies. Suzuki is now three hits shy of 3,000.

Fantasy Tip: Suzuki has had a surprisingly strong season, but you have to wonder how long he can keep up this pace. Still, Suzuki is worth starting in daily formats because of his ability to still hit the ball.

Miami Marlins C J.T. Realmuto, OF Marcell Ozuna and 2B Derek Dietrich are not in the starting lineup against Philadelphia Phillies SP Jerad Eickhoff Tuesday, July 26. OF Ichiro Suzuki will start in center field and is batting first. C Jeff Mathis will start at catcher and is batting seventh, while 2B Miguel Rojas will start at second base and is batting eighth.

Fantasy Tip: Suzuki has only two hits in his last eight games but is still hitting .335 this season, which makes him a decent option in daily fantasy leagues. Rojas and Mathis should not be starting options outside NL-only leagues.

Miami Marlins OF Ichiro Suzuki had two more hits Thursday, July 21, and is now just four hits shy of the 3,000-hit mark for his career. He'll become the 30th player all time to reach 3,000 hits.

Fantasy Tip: Ichiro is defying age at 42 this season with a .343/.419/.399 slash line, but he has no home runs and only 12 RBI, and he doesn't really run much anymore, either. It's been a fun ride to watch him approach the milestone, but with inconsistent playing time, too, he's merely a help the average category in deeper leagues.

Miami Marlins OF Giancarlo Stanton is not in the starting lineup Thursday, July 21. OF Ichiro Suzuki is starting in right field and leading off against Philadelphia Phillies SP Jerad Eickhoff Thursday.

Fantasy Tip: Stanton has found his slugging form with six home runs, 18 RBI and a .600 slugging percentage over his past 21 games. Sub him out where you can in seasonal lineups Thursday. Suzuki is batting .341 this season and is a viable low-priced flier in daily contests Thursday. He's also a depth option to plug into your cavernous mixed and NL-only lineups when he's playing. For those keeping track at home, Suzuki is up to 2,994 career hits.

Miami Marlins OF Ichiro Suzuki went 3-for-4 with a double, a run scored, a walk and a steal in a 6-3 win over the St. Louis Cardinals Sunday, July 17.

Fantasy Tip: Ichiro is batting .347 as he closes in on 3,000 hits. He doesn't play enough to be useful in season-long leagues, but he is worth a look in DFS formats when he starts.

Miami Marlins C J.T. Realmuto, OF Marcell Ozuna and 1B Chris Johnson are not in the starting lineup against St. Louis Cardinals SP Michael Wacha Sunday, July 17. OF Ichiro Suzuki will start in center field and is batting first. INF Don Kelly will start at first base and is batting sixth. C Jeff Mathis will start at catcher and is batting seventh.

Fantasy Tip: Ichiro has not received many starts over the last few weeks but does have a terrific .337 batting average this season. He should have some value in daily fantasy leagues. Kelly and Mathis can be avoided in all fantasy leagues.

Miami Marlins OF Ichiro Suzuki (knee) was hit on his left knee on a pitch from Cincinnati Reds P Raisel Iglesias on Sunday, July 10. Suzuki stayed in the game.

Fantasy Tip: This should not be an issue with the All-Star break coming up, but stay tuned in case there are any notes. Suzuki is 10 hits away from 3,000 for his MLB career so the Marlins will showcase him in the second half.

Miami Marlins OF Giancarlo Stanton and SS Adeiny Hechavarria are not in the starting lineup against Atlanta Braves SP Lucas Harrell Saturday, July 2. OF Ichiro Suzuki will bat leadoff and play right field, while INF Miguel Rojas will bat eighth and play shortstop.

Fantasy Tip: Suzuki is batting .342 through 155 at-bats this season and makes a productive source of salary cap relief for DFS, whereas Rojas should be viewed strictly as an inexpensive flier.

Miami Marlins C J.T. Realmuto and 1B Justin Bour are out of the lineup Wednesday, June 29, with 1B Chris Johnson hitting sixth and C Jeff Mathis hitting ninth. OF Ichiro Suzuki is in at DH and leading off.

Fantasy Tip: Johnson is hitting just .228 against lefties this season in what has been an ineffective year thus far. He has hit lefties well in the past, but he may be past it to use against lefty Daniel Norris. Suzuki is hitting .308 in 26 at-bats against lefties, and he's a really low-end option today. Mathis isn't worth consideration.
