| Doctors struggling to help Nomar | Tuesday 6/3, 11:57 PM CT |
|
Dodger infielder Nomar Garciaparra recently completed a full battery of of medical tests and doctors now believe his constant struggles with frequent calf pulls may be the result of unidentified blood-flow problems, according to the Los Angeles Times.
Our View: Garciaparra, who sat out three weeks because of a strained left calf last summer, went on the disabled list April 26 with another strain in the same area. And while he doesn't consider the situation career-threatening, until doctors find the reason for the problem the six-time All-Star said they have no idea how to treat it. |
|
| Saunders runs record to 9-2 | Tuesday 6/3, 11:50 PM CT |
|
Joe Saunders rebounded from his worst outing of the year with a superb effort Tuesday. The lefty allowed one run on six hits and a walk while striking out five over seven innings. He moved his record to 9-2 on the year.
Our View: Saunders continues to defy the odds with such a low strikeout rate. He'll get pounded at times, but it's clear at this point that you should start him every time out. |
|
| Manship throws four-hitter for Ft. Myers | Tuesday 6/3, 11:45 PM CT |
|
Jeff Manship threw a complete game shutout four-hitter for High-A Fort Myers on Tuesday. He allowed one walk and struck out five batters.
Our View: Manship has pretty much picked up right where he left off last season. The 23-year-old is somewhat old for his level, but he has shown the command and groundball ability to move quickly through the minors. He has an upside as a back of the rotation starter. |
|
| Clevlen performing well at Triple-A | Tuesday 6/3, 11:44 PM CT |
|
Brent Clevlen hit a pair of home runs and drove in five baserunners for Triple-A Toledo on Tuesday.
Our View: At the rate that the Tigers are going, Clevlen could finish the season out as a regular. The former top prospect had a terrible year in 2006, but he is reemerging this season by hitting .330-12-54. Only 24-years-old, his rebound is encouraging. |
|
| Lohse gets third consecutive win | Tuesday 6/3, 11:40 PM CT |
|

|

|

|

Our View: Perez was troubled in April going 0-3 but had rebounded in May, going 2-1. Now it appears he is in the midst of struggles once more, suffering his worst start to date. |
|

|
| Bradley goes deep twice | Tuesday 6/3, 11:16 PM CT |
|
Milton Bradley belted a pair of homers in Texas' 12-7 win over Cleveland Tuesday. He now has 11 dingers on the year, to go along with 36 RBI and a .323 batting mark.
Our View: Bradley is showing what he can bring to the table when he stays healthy. His move into the DH spot has likely kept him fresher, though he played right field tonight. |
|
| Eveland walks seven Tuesday | Tuesday 6/3, 11:12 PM CT |
|
Dana Eveland has displayed pretty good control this year, but that was not the case Tuesday night as the lefty walked seven in 4 1/3 innings. He also allowed three runs and three hits with three Ks.
Our View: Eveland has followed up his first ever complete game with a couple of stinkers. He's probably better served as a spot starter for your fantasy team right now. |
|
| Willis goes four scoreless but walks five | Tuesday 6/3, 11:09 PM CT |
|
In his first start since coming off the DL, Dontrelle Willis tossed four scoreless inning Tuesday night, allowing just two hits while striking out three. Unfortunately, Willis also continued to display the control problems that have plagued him, walking five.
Our View: Willis isn't usable in mixed leagues right now until he solves his control issues. |
|
| Choo homers and doubles | Tuesday 6/3, 11:05 PM CT |
|
Shin-Soo Choo pinch-hit for Franklin Gutierrez Tuesday and finished the night with a two-RBI double and solo home run in his two at-bats. Choo has three hits in seven at-bats to go along with a .636 OBP since being recalled.
Our View: Gutierrez also had two hits on the night but is batting just .255 for the year. Choo could start seeing more time in right field if he continues to hit. |
|

|
The Marlins have optioned LHP Taylor Tankersley to Triple-A Albuquerque, according to MLB.com.

|
| Murray has left rotator cuff strain | Tuesday 6/3, 10:41 PM CT |
|
A.J. Murray, who left Tuesday's outing after 2 1/3 innings, has been diagnosed with a left rotator cuff strain by team doctor Keith Meister, according to the Star-Telegram. The team will wait 7-10 days before re-evaluating the left-hander.
Our View: Murray has a history of shoulder problems. He missed the entire 2006 season after having shoulder surgery and missed the 2004 season after having surgery to repair a torn labrum. A DL stint seems very likely. |
|
| Correia looking to join Giants | Tuesday 6/3, 10:40 PM CT |
|
San Francisco RHP Kevin Correia has likely made his final rehab start for Triple-A Fresno, according to MLB.com.
Our View: Correia has been on the disabled list since April 27 because of a strained muscle in his left side, but he is expected to return to San Francisco on Wednesday and rejoin the pitching rotation to start on June 15. |

|
| Morneau playing through sore knee and calf | Tuesday 6/3, 10:36 PM CT |
|
Justin Morneau was in the lineup again Tuesday despite a sore left knee and a sore calf, according to the AP. Manager Ron Gardenhire said he might give Morneau a day or two in DH spot to let him rest.
Our View: Fantasy owners don't care where if Morneau is in the DH spot or at first, just as long as his hot bat in the lineup. |
|
| Ichiro piling up the steals | Tuesday 6/3, 10:33 PM CT |
|
Ichiro Suzuki's .288 batting average is disappointing by his standards, but the outfielder has not disappointed in the steals department, as he has been successful on 24 of 26 attempts this season. That puts him on pace for 67 thefts on the year, which would be 13 more than his career high and 30 more than he managed last season.
Our View: Ichiro's stolen base production will probably tail off a bit, but his batting average is sure to rise. |
|
| McClung puts Arizona in check | Tuesday 6/3, 10:31 PM CT |
|
Milwaukee RHP Seth McClung put his best effort forth this evening and helped his Brewers to a dominating 7-1 victory over Arizona. McClung pitched six innings, allowing one run on six his without a single walk surrendered and four strikeouts on the night.

|
| Hardy hits well vs Arizona | Tuesday 6/3, 10:28 PM CT |
|
The Milwaukee Brewers put the offense in full effect this evening, beating the Arizona Diamondbacks 7-1. Shortstop J.J. Hardy did more than his fair share in contributing a 2-for-4 performance at the plate, hitting his third home run of the season to finish with two RBIs and two runs scored on the night.
Our View: Hardy has struggled to meet offensive needs, posting just seven RBIs through the month of May. |
|
| Ramirez rips three hits, including homer | Tuesday 6/3, 10:23 PM CT |
|
Alexei Ramirez had a single, double and home run while driving in two and scoring two in Tuesday's 9-5 win over Kansas City.
Our View: Ramirez is batting .444 with a couple homers over the last eight days and is making a strong case to be the team's everyday second baseman. |
|
| Johnson sets mark, but ends with a loss | Tuesday 6/3, 10:21 PM CT |
|
Arizona LHP Randy Johnson pushed himself into the second spot on the all-time strikeout leaders list this evening, but despite a strong effort from the mound, the offense failed to back his work and left him with the loss in a 7-1 fall against Milwaukee. Johnson pitched 6 1/3 innings, allowing four runs (three earned) on six hits, surrendering just one walk with eight strikeouts.
Our View: Johnson now carries a record of 4-2 on the season, and while he was a perfect 3-0 for the month of May, he is starting June on the wrong foot (though you have to like his 15 walks versus 64 strikeouts thus far). |
|
| Sherrill notches 19th save | Tuesday 6/3, 10:20 PM CT |
|
George Sherrill recorded his 19th save of the season on Tuesday night, retiring the Twins in order while striking out one in a 5-3 win.
Our View: Only K-Rod has more saves than Sherrill this year. Yet another reason why you should not pay for saves on auction day. |
|
| Liz wins 2008 debut | Tuesday 6/3, 10:17 PM CT |
|
Radhames Liz won his 2008 debut Tuesday, allowing two runs on four hits and a walk while striking out four over 5 1/3 innings.
Our View: Liz is a nice prospect and has dominated at times at the minor league level. This is an impressive first start, but you should take a wait-and-see approach on him outside of AL-only leagues. |
|
| Reynolds leads, but Zona falls short | Tuesday 6/3, 10:15 PM CT |
|
Arizona was struggling from the outset this evening, taking the 7-1 loss against the Milwaukee Brewers, but the finger of blame does not fall towards third baseman Mark Reynolds . Reynolds went 2-for-3 with a walk at the plate, the only Arizona batter with multiple hits, hitting his seventh double of the season to total one RBI on the night.
Our View: Reynolds hit just .235 for the month of May, but he appears to be headed in the right direction, going 9-for-20 over his last seven games. |
|

|
Houston LHP Wandy Rodriguez was stellar on the mound in support of the Astros' 2-0 win over Pittsburgh this evening, pitching six innings of shutout baseball with five hits allowed, one walk, and three strikeouts.
Our View: Rodriguez struggled with control his last time out, taking the loss with just four innings pitched, allowing four walks versus just one strikeout. Tonight he was on his game and looks to be improving as he moves forward. |
|
| Matsui goes perfect at the plate | Tuesday 6/3, 9:55 PM CT |
|
Houston put 10 hits on the Pirates this evening and needed each and every one of them pulling the 2-0 win over the Pittsburgh Pirates. Second baseman Kazuo Matsui led the way, going 4-for-4 (all singles) with two runs scored.
Our View: Matsui was caught stealing for the third time this season and his numbers have slipped a bit coming into tonight, hitting just .259 through the month of May. This may give the jolt needed to get back on track. |
|
| Greinke rocked by White Sox | Tuesday 6/3, 9:54 PM CT |
|
Zack Greinke was rocked for eight runs on nine hits and two walks while striking out three over six innings Tuesday. He surrendered four home runs to the White Sox.

|
| Dumatrait takes the loss vs Houston | Tuesday 6/3, 9:51 PM CT |

|

|

|
| DiNardo outrighted to Triple-A | Tuesday 6/3, 9:43 PM CT |
|
Lenny DiNardo was outrighted to Triple-A Sacramento Tuesday, four days after the A's designated the lefty for assignment.
Our View: DiNardo doesn't need to be on your fantasy radar for any reason. |
|
| Crawford able to pinch hit | Tuesday 6/3, 9:41 PM CT |
|
Carl Crawford grounded out as a pinch hitter Tuesday. He didn't start for the second straight game because of soreness in his right knee and hamstring.
Our View: Carl could be back in action tomorrow. |
|
| No decision for Campillo | Tuesday 6/3, 9:40 PM CT |
|
The Braves earned the 5-4 win over Florida this evening, but pitching wasn't the name of the game. Starting RHP Jorge Campillo lasted just four innings to allow four runs (all earned) on six hits with one walk allowed and three strikeouts on the night.
Our View: Campillo left with no decision and remains at just 2-0 this eason. |
|
| Masterson picks up the win | Tuesday 6/3, 9:39 PM CT |
|
Justin Masterson picked up the win for the Red Sox Tuesday, allowing four runs on six hits and two walks while striking out five over six frames. He now boasts a 2.95 ERA after his first three starts for the Sox.
Our View: Masterson should get at least one more start while Dice-K is on the DL, and he may be worth an add for those looking for a fill-in. |
|
| Chipper stays hot for Braves | Tuesday 6/3, 9:37 PM CT |
|
Third baseman Chipper Jones continues to carry the load for the Atlanta Braves as they earned a 5-4 win over Florida this evening. Jones went 2-for-4 at the dish, hitting his 13th home run of the season to total three RBIs and two runs scored on the night.
Our View: Jones is now hitting .409 on the season, going 40-for-96 through May. |
|

Our View: We'll update you on Murray's situation when more info becomes available. |
|
| Uggla jacks two in loss | Tuesday 6/3, 9:33 PM CT |
|
The Marlins suffered the 5-4 loss to the Atlanta Braves this evening, but second baseman Dan Uggla continued to show his team the way to better returns. Uggla went 2-for-3 with a walk at the plate, hitting two home runs ( and on the season) to total three RBIs and two runs scored on the evening.
Our View: Uggla hit .347 through the month of May and appears to be on his way towards another strong month, going 4-for-8 over his last two games. |
|
| Eaton gets the win | Tuesday 6/3, 9:22 PM CT |
|
Philadelphia RHP Adam Eaton picked up his second win of the season this evening as the Phillies put the 3-2 win on the Cincinnati Reds. Eaton pitched 6 2/3 innings, allowing just one run on three hits with no walks surrendered and five strikeouts.
Our View: Eaton was just 1-3 through the month of May, but his performance this evening could be a sign of better days to come. |
|
| Utley stays hot | Tuesday 6/3, 9:19 PM CT |
|
Philadelphia second baseman Chase Utley continues to work as a force of reckoning, going 2-for-3 this evening with a walk and his 17th double of the season as the Phillies put the Reds to bed, 3-2.
Our View: Utley totaled one RBI and one run scored as well, now sporting at least one RBI in each of his last eight games with at least one run scored in his last nine. |
|
| Rollins swipes two in win over Cincy | Tuesday 6/3, 9:14 PM CT |
|
The Phillies did plenty of hitting his evening but had to fight for the 3-2 win over the Cincinnati Reds. The man of the hour was leadoff man Jimmy Rollins , going 3-for-4 at the dish with his 15th double of the season and two stolen bases (now carrying 10 on the season) with a run scored.
Our View: Rollins is hitting well, posting a .298 batting average in May, and he continues to swipe bases with regularity (six of his 10 stolen bags coming in May). |
|
| Harang suffers eighth loss | Tuesday 6/3, 9:10 PM CT |
|
Cincinnati RHP Aaron Harang suffered yet another troubling loss this evening as his Reds fell 3-2 to the Phillies. Harang went six innings to allow three runs (all earned) on nine hits with one walk and four strikeouts.

|
| Encarnacion posts triple, HR in loss | Tuesday 6/3, 9:06 PM CT |
|
The Reds have suffered the 3-2 loss to the Philadelphia Phillies this evening, though third baseman Edwin Encarnacion did what he could to get his team on track. Encarnacion went 2-for-4 at the plate with a triple (his first of the season) and his 10th home run of the season, totaling one RBI and two runs scored on the evening.
Our View: Encarnacion came through the month of May with just one home run and eight RBIs, but he now carries homers in each of his last two games, going 6-for-16 over his last four games. |
|
| Torres fighting for closer duties | Tuesday 6/3, 9:01 PM CT |
|
Milwaukee reliever Salomon Torres is reportedly making manager Ned Yost rethink what he may do when regular closer Eric Gagne returns from injury, according to MLB.com.
Our View: Torres has pitched well in his new role as the head of the closer-by-committee approach the Brewers are now employing, carrying a 2.62 ERA coming into Tuesday with saves converted in five of his last six opportunities. Monday night's game brought the bullpen's contribution front and center, as Guillermo Mota and Torres pitched two scoreless innings in a game that the Brewers won by just a run. Torres was hindered by two Brewers errors, but was able to escape trouble and close out the game. |
|
| Freel leaves with leg injury | Tuesday 6/3, 8:51 PM CT |
|
Cincinnati outfielder Ryan Freel has left tonight's game against the Phillies due to a leg injury, according to the Sports Network.
Our View: Freel was running out a ground ball to short, but he fell to the ground two steps out of the batter's box and was grabbing his leg. Shortstop Jerry Hairston, Jr. was moved to center field as Paul Janish took over short. We will update with news as it comes forth. |
|
| Young gets start over Ethier | Tuesday 6/3, 8:48 PM CT |
|
The Dodgers have given the start in right field tonight to Delwyn Young, sitting Andre Ethier on the bench, according to the LA Daily News.

|
| Speier activated from DL | Tuesday 6/3, 8:45 PM CT |
|
The Rockies have activated RHP Ryan Speier from the disabled list, according to MLB.com.
Our View: Speier missed 20 games with a bruised right shoulder, and the club went 5-15 in his absence. Prior to his injury May 12, Speier was 1-1 with a 3.38 ERA in 15 relief appearances and held opponents to a .262 batting average.

|

|
Ian Kennedy, recovering from a strained right lat, made 35 throws while playing catch from 60 feet Tuesday, according to MLB.com. Kennedy said he didn't feel anything during the throwing session, and he's been relatively pain-free since Thursday. "Thursday, I felt a little something there because that was our first day of really stretching it out, trying to rub things out," Kennedy said. "On Friday, it felt significantly better. Saturday, it felt really good, and Sunday even better."
Our View: There is currently no timetable for Kennedy's return, though it's possible he could wind up back in the minors. |
|
| Hamstring injury keeps V-Mart out of lineup | Tuesday 6/3, 8:18 PM CT |
|
A sore left hamstring kept Victor Martinez out of the lineup Tuesday for the second time in three games. However, he's not expected to need a stint in the DL. "Not right now," manager Eric Wedge said on MLB.com. "As long as the time off gives him help. It doesn't affect him when he's catching, which is a tremendous bonus for us." Wedge said the hamstring clearly affected Martinez when he faced lefty Eddie Guardado in Monday's game, which is why V-Mart was held out of the lineup against Rangers left-handed starter A.J. Murray on Tuesday. "It looked like [the hamstring] grabbed him from the right side," Wedge said.
Our View: The Indians won't face another lefty until Sunday, so hopefully V-Mart will return to the lineup shortly. We'll keep you updated on his condition. |
|
| Wagner hoping for rehab assignment | Tuesday 6/3, 8:08 PM CT |
|
Washington reliever Ryan Wagner , currently residing on the team's 60-day disabled list, has rejoined the team after a small stint in extended spring training, according to CBSSports.com.

|

Our View: It was Johnson's 4,673rd career strikeout, breaking a tie with Roger Clemens and leaving the Arizona Diamondbacks' veteran ace behind only Nolan Ryan, who had 5,714 strikeouts in his career. The 44-year-old hurler has 288 career victories, tying him with Tommy John for 24th in the big leagues and leaving him only 12 short of 300. |
|
| Posada could be back Thursday | Tuesday 6/3, 8:02 PM CT |
|
Jorge Posada, recovering from soreness in his throwing shoulder, could be back by in the lineup Thursday, according to the AP. He caught seven innings and went 1-for-2 with a sacrifice fly and a walk Tuesday in an extended spring game. "His arm was great today," manager Joe Girardi said. "So probably this evening after the game, maybe I'll talk to [general manager Brian Cashman] on my way home and might see him in there on Thursday."
Our View: Posada is scheduled for a day off from fielding Wednesday but could serve as the DH in another extended spring game if the Yanks decides it wants him to catch a couple more games before rejoining the team. |
|
| Blackburn tests jitters by taking grounders | Tuesday 6/3, 7:53 PM CT |
|
Nick Blackburn, who had to leave Sunday's start after getting hit in the face by a line drive, took some choppers hit right back at him Tuesday to test his nerves, according to MLB.com. The pitcher admitted to having jitters, but he came through the session fine. "[Third base coach Scott Ullger] hit one that skipped and I was a little jumpy," Blackburn said. "But it's good to get it out of the way."
Our View: Blackburn has some swelling in his face, but it's gone down dramatically since he was hit. He's expected to take his regular turn in the rotation on Friday. |
|
| Ryan battling neck and back soreness | Tuesday 6/3, 7:40 PM CT |
|
St. Louis shortstop Brendan Ryan is dealing with neck and upper back soreness, according to MLB.com.
Our View: The Cardinals have held Ryan out of the lineup this evening but feel he won't need time on the disabled list. Ryan reports he first felt the pain on Monday afternoon during pregame warm-ups, but the team is keeping him in mind should a pinch hitter be needed. On the field, Aaron Miles will get the start in his stead.
|
|
| Aviles a backup for now | Tuesday 6/3, 7:39 PM CT |
|
Mike Aviles started last Thursday at shortstop but hasn't played since. The position has been a revolving door lately for the Royals, but manager Trey Hillman sees Aviles as a backup for the time being. "Just as an extra for us. Not to depreciate his value but that's what he is for right now," Hillman said on MLB.com.
Our View: Aviles was batting .338 with 21 doubles, six triples and 10 home runs for Triple-A Omaha at the time of his recall, so he obviously brings more to the table offensively than Pena. He could be worth eying in fantasy if he gains more playing time. |
|
| Pena back in lineup Tuesday | Tuesday 6/3, 7:32 PM CT |
|
Tony Pena Jr. was back in the starting lineup Tuesday after the Royals used four different shortstops in four games. "Tony's playing today and we'll see how he does. Hopefully, some of the work that we got done this last homestand will play out," manager Trey Hillman said on MLB.com.
Our View: Pena provides good defense but is batting an embarrassingly-low .155. Unless he steps it up, expect the team to continue trying other out at the position. |
|
| Smoltz sore after return | Tuesday 6/3, 7:29 PM CT |
|
Atlanta RHP John Smoltz reports he is feeling "pretty sore" today, one day after returning from the DL to make relief appearance in the Braves 7-5 win over Florida, according to MLB.com.
Our View: The veteran right-hander, who on Monday began his second stint in the Braves' bullpen, allowed two runs on three hits and blew the save against the Marlins. It was the first time he had faced Major League hitters since April 27. The team reports his status moving forward will be evaluated on a day-to-day basis, but they are highly unlikely to pitch Smoltz on back-to-back days. |
|
| Joba lasts just 2 1/3 in first start, walks four | Tuesday 6/3, 7:24 PM CT |
|
Joba Chamberlain's first big-league start didn't go as well as hoped. Joba lasted just 2 1/3 innings, allowing two runs (one earned) on one hit and four walks while striking out three.
Our View: Joba's control evaded him Tuesday evening. He threw 62 pitches in the outing. Once he gets that pitch count up he'll be the fantasy factor that everyone is expecting. |
|
| Hampton completes bullpen session | Tuesday 6/3, 7:24 PM CT |
|
Atlanta LHP Mike Hampton threw off a mound today, the first time he's tossed off the hill since the Braves removed him from the lineup before a planned start on April 3rd, according to MLB.com.
Our View: Hampton took part in a bullpen session today and reports he feels no immediate pain or discomfort as a result of the 25 pitches thrown. The hurler has been on the DL since April 3rd with a strained left pectoral muscle, but the team now believes he could return to the starting rotation before the July All-Star break. |
|
| Willingham takes swings off the tee | Tuesday 6/3, 7:17 PM CT |
|
Florida outfielder Josh Willingham took 25 pain-free swings off a tee in the batting cage today, according to MLB.com.
Our View: This is his second consecutive day swinging the stick and he reports no pain or discomfort. The team plans to have Willingham take 25 more swings tomorrow, this time against soft tosses. Willingham has been on the DL since May 2nd with a lower back strain and a herniated disc. If things go well tomorrow, the Marlins will repeat that exercise on Thursday, but plans after that have not revealed. |
|
| Hart brought up for bullpen | Tuesday 6/3, 7:04 PM CT |
|
The Chicago Cubs have recalled RHP Kevin Hart from Triple-A Iowa, according to ChicagoSports.com.
Our View: Hart will be a part of the Cubbies' bullpen, a dire situation in need of healthy and strong arms. To make room for Hart, first baseman Micah Hoffpauir has been designated for assignment. |
|
| Navarro replaces Crawford in two hole | Tuesday 6/3, 6:48 PM CT |
|
With Carl Crawford out of the lineup, hot-hitting catcher Dioner Navarro was penciled into the No. 2 spot Tuesday. "He reminds me a lot of Carl Crawford," manager Joe Maddon told MLB.com with a chuckle. "The thing about that is, [Navarro is] a switch-hitter. There's a lot of things you can do with him. He plays a pretty complete game. He's not fast, but he's a very good baserunner. If you look at his on-base percentage hitting left-handed [.404], I'm just trying to get people on base in front of the three, four, five guys."
Our View: Navarro would be leading the AL with his .352 batting mark if he had enough at-bats to qualify. He's been a nice late-round bargain so far, though his power numbers (one homer, 18 RBI), aren't anything to write home about. |
|
| Olsen's velocity back up | Tuesday 6/3, 6:44 PM CT |
|
The Marlins have been concerned with Scott Olsen's lack of velocity in recent starts, but the lefty's velocity was better in Monday's start. He had been topping out at 85 lately, but Monday he was averaging 88 MPH and touched 92. "I felt good. My fastball was coming out pretty well," Olsen said on MLB.com. Olsen's slider was also much improved Monday after pitching coach Mark Wiley detected something in the southpaw's delivery before the game, which was corrected.
Our View: Olsen is off to a nice start this year despite a big drop in his strikeout rate. Keep an eye on those radar gun readings to make sure he doesn't go through another "dead arm" period. |
|
| Schneider out for Mets | Tuesday 6/3, 6:42 PM CT |
|
The Mets reports catcher Brian Schneider will be out of the lineup tonight as New York faces San Francisco, according to the NY Daily News.
Our View: He will be replaced by Ramon Castro, batting eighth in the order. |
|
| Castillo out for Mets (again) | Tuesday 6/3, 6:39 PM CT |
|
Still battling a hip flexor, Mets second baseman Luis Castillo will once again be out of the lineup this evening has New York faces off with San Francisco, according to the NY Daily News.
Our View: Castillo is still listed as day-to-day, but he has struggled with this same leg for most of the season. He will be replaced by Damion Easley, batting second in the order. |
|
| Concussion keeps Hill out | Tuesday 6/3, 6:36 PM CT |
|
Aaron Hill missed his fourth straight start Tuesday due to a concussion, according to MLB.com. Hill took part in early batting practice at Yankee Stadium on Tuesday but is still feeling the lingering effects of an injury that occurred last Thursday. "Frustrated," Hill said when asked how he was feeling. "I'm kind of getting tired of being honest, because they keep me out of the lineup. But, like I've said before, I don't want to push it."
Our View: Concussions are tricky, so it's hard to predict when Hill will be back, though it's good to know that the results of a CAT scan came back clean. |
|
| Big Papi hopes to be back in three weeks | Tuesday 6/3, 6:32 PM CT |
|
It has been reported that David Ortiz would require at least a month on the DL, but Ortiz hopes to be back from his wrist injury in three weeks, according to MLB.com. He will sport a cast on the wrist for the next 2-3 weeks. "The doctor says 70 to 80 percent of the people that have this, when they get a cast, it normally goes back," Ortiz said. "I have clicking when I move my hand. If the pain goes away, that's the main key. If the pain goes away and I still have the clicking, then I can probably play through it and maybe fix it after the season. Otherwise, if I still have the pain, I'm going to be out. If I have surgery, it's probably going to be the whole season."
Our View: Big Papi is probably just being optimistic. You should assume he'll be out a month still, but the test will be how sore he feels after removing the cast. |
|
| Patterson optioned to Triple-A | Tuesday 6/3, 5:25 PM CT |
|
The Yankees optioned Scott Patterson to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre Tuesday. He allowed a run on a hit and two walks over 1 1/3 innings in his lone appearance with the Yanks.
Our View: You shouldn't have Patterson on your roster, but feel free to cut him loose if you do. |
|
| Giese comes up from Triple-A | Tuesday 6/3, 5:23 PM CT |
|
The Yankees purchased the contract of Dan Giese from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre Tuesday. Giese held a 1.98 ERA in 13 games at Scranton this season. He replaces Scott Patterson on the roster.
Our View: Giese could get some action tonight following Joba Chamberlain, who will be limited to 60-70 pitches. |
|
| Posada could be back Wednesday as pinch hitter | Tuesday 6/3, 5:12 PM CT |
|
Jorge Posada caught six innings and went 1-for-2 with a walk and a sacrifice fly in an extended spring training game Tuesday, according to the AP. He has been sidelined since April 27 with a sore right shoulder. Posada tested the shoulder further on Tuesday, throwing out baserunners at second base. It was the third game in which he made throws to second base and his sixth extended spring training game overall.
Our View: Posada could be back Wednesday as a pinch hitter before getting back behind the plate shortly after that. |
|
| Bradley gets start in right | Tuesday 6/3, 5:04 PM CT |
|
Milton Bradley is starting in right field Tuesday for the first time in nearly a month, according to the Star-Telegram. He is switching spots with David Murphy, who will be in the DH spot.
Our View: Milton has started eight games in the outfield this year and 42 in the DH spot. He should play enough in the outfield to have eligibility there next year. Bradley has had a terrific year, hitting .317-9-34 thus far. |
|
| Blalock already taking grounders | Tuesday 6/3, 4:57 PM CT |
|
Hank Blalock is taking grounders from Ron Washington and Art Howe at first base, less than a week after undergoing surgery to relieve irritation in his right wrist from carpal tunnel syndrome, according to the Star-Telegram. He's not throwing the ball but just on fielding with his glove hand.
Our View: This is good to hear, but Blalock is still expected to miss at least the next month. |
|
| Big Papi to be in cast for 2-3 weeks | Tuesday 6/3, 4:50 PM CT |
|
David Ortiz expects to wear a cast on his left wrist for two to three weeks, according to the AP. He's hoping the cast will allow the wrist to heal sufficiently to get him back in the lineup soon. Ortiz tore the sheath that surrounds his tendon on a swing Saturday.
Our View: GM Theo Epstein said that once the cast is removed, a key indicator of the healing process will be how much tenderness Big Papi feels. Follow-up MRIs will also be done. Ortiz is expected to miss at least a month. |
|
| Crawford gets MRI on knee and hamstring | Tuesday 6/3, 4:46 PM CT |
|
Carl Crawford isn't in the starting lineup for the second straight game Tuesday because of soreness in his right knee and hamstring, according to the St. Petersburg Times. However, Crawford isn't expected to miss much time after an MRI showed no problems.
Our View: Manager Joe Maddon said he would talk to Crawford before the game tonight to see if he would be available for reserve duty. It sounds like Carl will not need a DL stint and should be back at some point this week. |
|
| Griffey out of lineup again | Tuesday 6/3, 4:26 PM CT |
|
Ken Griffey Jr. is out of the lineup again Tuesday for the second straight day because of general soreness, according to the AP. Manager Dusty Baker said Griffey would be available to pinch hit and could return to the lineup Wednesday. Griffey is sitting on 599 career home runs.
Our View: Well, Griffey is an old man now, so I guess he can get away with the "general soreness" excuse. Hopefully that's all that's really wrong with him. |
|
| Cruceta designated for assignment | Tuesday 6/3, 4:11 PM CT |
|
The Tigers designated Francisco Cruceta for assignment Tuesday. Casey Fossum was recalled to replace him on the roster.
Our View: Cruceta has a pretty nice arm but was walking way too many guys. The Tigers probably want him at Triple-A, but he'll have to clear waivers first. |
|
| Fossum recalled | Tuesday 6/3, 4:00 PM CT |
|
Lefty Casey Fossum has been recalled by the Tigers from Triple-A Toledo, according to the AP. As an adjoining move, the team designated Francisco Cruceta for assignment.
Our View: The 30-year old Fossum signed a minor league contract with Detroit on April 8, and was 3-0 with a 1.96 ERA in 11 games, while making four starts for the Mud Hens.
|
|
| Guerrero hopes to return to lineup | Tuesday 6/3, 3:55 PM CT |
|
Vladimir Guerrero is nursing a sore right knee, but hopes to return to the Angels' lineup tonight, especially as they face Seattle lefty Erik Bedard, according to MLB.com. Guerrero is 6-for-13 (.462) with a homer and three RBI over his career against the former Orioles' ace.
Our View: Vlad is only hitting .249 with seven homers and 28 RBI this season, and hopefully he can play tonight. If he gets the green light, he is worth starting against Bedard. |
|
| Saunders targeting ninth win | Tuesday 6/3, 3:49 PM CT |
|
Joe Saunders will be targeting his ninth win of the season tonight when he takes the hill against the Mariners in Seattle, according to MLB.com. Saunders is 3-1 with a 5.67 ERA in five career outings against the Mariners.
Our View: Saunders is 8-2 this season with a strong 2.76 ERA and 1.09 WHIP, and should remain penciled into your roto-rotation. He is coming off his worst start of the season when he was lit up for five runs over five innings against the Tigers on May 28, but he allowed two or fewer earned runs in each of his previous four outings, and should bounce back fine. |
|
| Konerko returns to cleanup spot | Tuesday 6/3, 3:39 PM CT |
|
Paul Konerko will return to the cleanup spot in the order against the Royals tonight, according to the Chicago Tribune. Tonight's lineup has Orlando Cabrera leading off, with AJ Pierzynski second, and Carlos Quentin third. Jim Thome drops to fifth in the order, with Jermaine Dye following him sixth. Nick Swisher moves up to seventh, and Joe Crede drops to eighth. Alexei Ramirez gets the start at second base, and hits ninth.
Our View: Konerko is still struggling at the plate, but Manager Ozzie Guillen still has faith in him. He remains a risky fantasy option, but could generate solid numbers from the cleanup spot in the solid Chicago order if he gets on track. |
|
| Crawford not in lineup for tonight | Tuesday 6/3, 3:12 PM CT |
|
Carl Crawford is not in the Rays' starting lineup for tonight's battle against the Red Sox, according to the Tampa Tribune.
Our View: Crawford reportedly appeared to tweak his leg while making a diving catch Sunday in the Rays’ 4-3 win over the White Sox, but manager Joe Maddon is expected to give an explantion during his pregame availability later in the day. Eric Hinske is penciled in to cover his spot in left field.
|
|
| Wood strong candidate for call up? | Tuesday 6/3, 2:41 PM CT |
|
Infielder Jason Wood is believed to be a strong candidate to be called up from Triple-A Albuquerque when the team decides to trim down from 13 pitchers to 12, according to MLB.com.
Our View: Wood made the opening day roster in 2007, but did not make the cut in 2008. He registered two at-bats (no hits) during a brief stint with the Marlins earlier this season. |
|
| Volstad on seven-day DL at Double-A | Tuesday 6/3, 2:36 PM CT |
|
Prized pitching prospect Christopher Volstad has been placed on the seven-day DL at Double-A Carolina due to a right triceps strain, according to MLB.com.
Our View: The 21-year-old hurler is expected to miss one start for Carolina. |
|
| De Aza has stopped running drills | Tuesday 6/3, 2:32 PM CT |
|
Alejandro De Aza has stopped running drills for seven days due to soreness to his left ankle sprain, according to MLB.com.
Our View: De Aza has been on the DL all season long, and he is still being bothered by his sprained ankle. |
|
| Gardner visits Dr. Andrews | Tuesday 6/3, 2:27 PM CT |
|
Lee Gardner had a follow-up visit with Dr. James Andrews in Alabama, according to MLB.com. Gardner has right elbow inflammation as well as shoulder discomfort, and it is believed that Andrews is examining his shoulder.
Our View: Gardner fared well in 2007, but has not had the same success this season, as he allowed eight runs and 14 hits over 6.2 innings of work. |
|
| Campillo ready for fourth start | Tuesday 6/3, 2:23 PM CT |
|
Jorge Campillo has appeared in 16 games this season, but will be making his fourth start tonight against Florida, according to MLB.com.
Our View: He holds a 2-0 record with a strong 0.99 ERA and 0.83 WHIP over 36.1 innings, with 33 strikeouts. He has displayed excellent control, evidenced by his five walks. He only allowed one run over five innings in his last start against Milwaukee, and is worth starting if you have him on your roster. |
|
| Badenhop finally set for start | Tuesday 6/3, 2:17 PM CT |
|
The Marlins have pushed Burke Badenhop's start back a few times, but he is now set to take the mound tonight against the Braves, according to MLB.com.
Our View: This will be his eighth major league start, and was roughed up by the Braves in his previous outing on April 24 as he surrendered six runs in five innings. Badenhop holds a 1-3 record with a 6.75 ERA and 1.56 WHIP, and should not be considered for your lineups. |
|
| Munter sent to Triple-A | Tuesday 6/3, 2:11 PM CT |
|
Scott Munter has been re-signed by the Giants and sent to Triple-A Fresno, according to Yahoo Sports.
Our View: He returns to the Giants following a stint within the Rays' farm system. He had a successful rookie season with the Giants back in 2005, but has been on the rebound ever since following shoulder surgery. He holds no fantasy value for 2008. |
|
| Mercker lands on DL | Tuesday 6/3, 1:44 PM CT |
|
Kent Mercker has been placed on the 15-day DL due to chronic back pain, according to the AP. That was the second time this season he has been brought down by his back. The Reds purchased the contract of left-hander Danny Herrera from Triple-A Louisville to cover his spot on the roster.
Our View: Mercker held no fantasy value as a reliever, with a 3.29 ERA and 1.54 WHIP over 13.2 innings, with only six strikeouts. |
|
| Garza on hill against Boston tonight | Tuesday 6/3, 1:00 PM CT |
|
Matt Garza will make his 10th start of the season tonight against Boston at Fenway Park, according to MLB.com. He is 0-0 with a 5.40 ERA in one start against Boston this season, but he is 2-0 with a 2.53 ERA in two career starts at Fenway Park.
Our View: Garza is 4-1 this season with a 3.78 ERA and 1.36 WHIP, and is worth consideration for your fantasy lineup tonight, namely when you consider his solid record against the Red Sox at Fenway, who will be without slugger David Ortiz. |
|
| Masterson set for third start | Tuesday 6/3, 12:55 PM CT |
|
Justin Masterson will make his third start of the season tonight against the Rays, according to MLB.com.
Our View: Masterson will be making a spot start in place of the injured Daisuke Matsuzaka. Masterson was sent back down to the minors following each of his two previous starts, and it may happen to him again, meaning he doesn't merit fantasy consideration, despite holding a solid 0.97 WHIP and 1.46 ERA over 12.1 innings of action. |
|
| Lewis called up | Tuesday 6/3, 12:36 PM CT |
|
Jensen Lewis has been recalled from Triple-A Buffalo, according to the Cleveland Plain Dealer. Jake Westbrook has been placed on the 15-day DL due to right elbow soreness, and Lewis covers his spot on the roster.
Our View: Tom Mastny is going to cover Westbrook's scheduled start in the rotation tonight against Texas, and the plan is to have him go as long as he can, then be relieved by Lewis and maybe Edward Mujica. If they can get through six innings, then Manager Eric Wedge can handle his bullpen like a normal game. Lewis holds little to no fantasy value, as he surrendered 11 runs on 29 hits over 27.2 innings in his previous stint with the Indians this season. |
|
| Westbrook officially placed on DL | Tuesday 6/3, 12:29 PM CT |
|
Jake Westbrook has officially been placed on the 15-day DL due to his sore right elbow, according to the Cleveland Plain Dealer. The team called up reliever Jensen Lewis from Triple-A Buffalo as an adjoining move.
Our View: The team is yet to determine how long Westbrook will be out of action. Tom Mastny is taking his scheduled spot in the rotation tonight against the Rangers. |
|
| Carter called up | Tuesday 6/3, 11:35 AM CT |
|
First baseman Chris Carter has been called up from Triple-A Pawtuckett, according to the Providence Journal. He has been brought in to fill the roster spot for David Ortiz, who landed on the DL.
Our View: The 25-year-old is in his first full season with the Red Sox organization. Boston acquired him from Washington last August to complete the trade that sent Wily Mo Pena to the Nationals. Carter is hitting .316 with 10 homers and 35 RBI for Pawtuckett over 56 games this season. Brandon Moss was believed to be the likely candidate to get called up, especially after he was named the International League Batter of the Week yesterday after hitting four home runs, but the club opted for Carter instead. Carter could provide solid depth to Boston, but won't likely see enough at-bats to merit fantasy consideration.
|
|
| Schilling played catch on Monday | Tuesday 6/3, 11:21 AM CT |
|
Curt Schilling played catch on Monday and is hoping to throw off a mound on Friday for the first time, according to the Boston Herald. He is trying to bounce back from right biceps degeneration.
Our View: This would be a big step for him on Friday, but there remains no timetable as to when he may return to Boston. |
|
| Closer's role with be split | Tuesday 6/3, 11:16 AM CT |
|
John Smoltz blew his first save chance in his return to the bullpen on Monday, and Manager Bobby Cox stated that the closer's role with be split for the immediate future between Smoltz, Manny Acosta, and Rafael Soriano, according to the Atlanta Journal Constitution.
Our View: Smoltz could be the primary closer, but needs to prove he can still be effective in the role. Bobby Cox will play it by ear, but is pleased to have Smoltz back in action, despite his blown save. |
|
| Loewen threw live batting practice | Tuesday 6/3, 11:06 AM CT |
|
Adam Loewen, who is recovering from left elbow soreness, threw live batting practice on Monday, according to the Baltimore Sun. He is then scheduled to pitch an inning at extended spring training on Thursday, before going on a rehab assignment.
Our View: Loewen held a 7.85 ERA and 1.91 WHIP over 18.1 innings this season, and isn't worth waiting for as a fantasy hurler. |
|
| Hudson still expects to make start | Tuesday 6/3, 10:55 AM CT |
|
Tim Hudson still expects to make his next scheduled start Friday against the Phillies, according to the Atlanta Journal Constitution. Hudson is nursing a strained left hamstring, and said, "I feel OK, just a little sore. It's nothing like when I had a pulled hamstring in the past. Just get some treatment, stay on top of it the next four days, ice it, and I should be able to pitch."
Our View: Manager Bobby Cox mentioned that the Braves may have a minor league pitcher on standby, just in case. More updates should come as Friday approaches. |
|
| Zimmerman officially placed on DL | Tuesday 6/3, 10:47 AM CT |
|
Ryan Zimmerman has officially been placed on the 15-day DL, according to the AP. He has been brought down by a small labral tear in his left shoulder. The team recalled infielder Kory Castro from Triple-A Columbus to fill his spot on the roster.
Our View: The DL move is retroactive to May 26. It was believed that he could still play through the ailment following a cortisone shot, but that was not the case, as the team is playing it safe with their franchise third baseman. Aaron Boone will continue to cover third while he is out. |
|
| Jackson could return soon as Wed. | Tuesday 6/3, 10:11 AM CT |
|
Conor Jackson, who is recovering from a quadriceps ailment, could return to the D-Backs' lineup as soon as Wednesday, according to the Arizona Republic. Jackson said, "It's hard to sit and watch. You want to go out and help the team. But on the flip side, you don't want to reinjure it and eventually go on the DL."
Our View: The team doesn't think a trip to the DL is necessary, but also noted that he could be held out until Friday, which would give Jackson an extra two days of rest because of Thursday's off day.
|
|
| Inge sat out Monday | Tuesday 6/3, 10:06 AM CT |
|
Brandon Inge sat out Monday's game after tweaking his left oblique on a check swing Sunday, according to the Detroit News. Manager Jim Leyland said, "Obliques are tricky. I don't know how well he's able to swing."
Our View: Inge stated that the injury is minor, but the team has to be cautious with him, since he is their backup catcher. That sent Carlos Guillen to third base for Monday's game. |
|
| Morneau is hobbling | Tuesday 6/3, 9:59 AM CT |
|
Justin Morneau fouled a ball off his right knee Sunday and also felt cramping in his left calf, but Manager Ron Gardenhire penciled him into the lineup on Monday, according to the Star Tribune. Morneau was bothered by the ailment as he made a soft throw to catcher Joe Mauer when A-Rod scored on a bouncer by Jason Giambi in the seventh inning. Following the game, Gardenhire commented, "He was hobbling. He's definitely not moving around very good, which goes into that play, too. He's got sore legs. A really sore left leg, and you could tell out there. He made a decent play on it, but a great baserunner got by him."
Our View: Morneau is hitting .303 with 10 homers and 42 RBI, and has played in all 57 games for the Twins this season. Morneau is among the toughest players in the league, and could serve as DH if he feels he won't be effective at first base. Fantasy owners should not be concerned with his ailment. |
|
| Bonser moved to bullpen | Tuesday 6/3, 9:51 AM CT |
|
Boof Bonser has been moved to the bullpen, as the team prepares for the return of Scott Baker to the rotation, according to the Star Tribune. Baker completed his rehab assignment, and is expected to start on Thursday.
Our View: Bonser was 2-6 with a 5.97 ERA and 1.40 WHIP over 12 starts this season, and will be better suited for a limited bullpen role. He isn't likely going to be presented with any save opportunities, and his fantasy value remains in the cellar. |
