Description: Cubs outfielder David DeJesus is on the bench for Monday's series opener in Houston. | Insight: DeJesus (.264, 7 HR, 45 RBI) has played well against the Astros this season (.407 average in 27 at bats) so he should be back in the lineup tomorrow. We could even see him come in as a pinch-hitter later on tonight. | | |
| 8/30/2012 1:15:00 PM |
Description: Chicago outfielder David DeJesus won't be of much use to fantasy owners Thursday against Milwaukee. He's an .091 lifetime hitter versus Brewers righthander Shaun Marcum. | Insight: Marcum is a perfect 4-0 against the Cubs for his career so don't expect a lot of offense today at Wrigley. | | |

DeJesus' neck injury doesn't appear to be a serious one so for now, consider the Cubs outfielder day-to-day. | | |
| 7/1/2012 1:24:00 PM |
Description: Chicago outfielder David DeJesus will take a seat Sunday for the Cubs' series finale against Houston. | Insight: DeJesus really doesn't have much fantasy significance aside from his .269 batting average, and even that's nothing to brag about.

| 6/22/2012 9:59:00 AM |
Description: Cubs rightfielder David DeJesus is just 4-for-22 (.182) with a four of strikeouts in his career against Arizona lefty Joe Saunders. | Insight: Dejesus has been the Cubs everyday right fielder, but his fantasy value is limited by a lack of power (2 HR) and speed (2 SB). He's batting .261 this season with 36 runs scored and 21 RBI, but is understandably not valued highly in fantasy leagues. If you have been using him on a temporary basis, sit him today. | | |
| 6/10/2012 11:36:00 AM |
Description: Cubs rightfielder David DeJesus is just 2-12 (.167) with a pair of strikeouts in his career against Twins lefty Francisco Liriano. | Insight: Liriano isn't the only lefthander DeJesus struggles against.
