Player Notes

March 30, 2009
Mark Loretta is still nursing a strained groin and is not expected to return to the diamond until Wednesday or Thursday, according to MLB.com.

Our View:Skipper Joe Torre remains confident that Loretta will be ready to go for opening day. Loretta will not hold much fantasy value as a utility infielder.

March 24, 2009
Infielder Mark Loretta will miss four or five days due to a strained groin muscle. Trainer Stan Conte tells the Los Angeles Daily News that the injury is in an area that is "notorious for hanging around."

Our View:A veteran like Loretta can afford to miss a few days and still be fine at this point. We're not too worried about him getting up to speed before the season starts.

March 11, 2009
Jon Heyman of Sports Illustrated reports that the Yankees may be interested in Mark Loretta as a stopgap at third base for injured star Alex Rodriguez. The Yankees are claiming they have yet to speak to any teams about filling their void at the hot corner.

Our View:Loretta is an excellent contact hitter and would plug nicely into the Yankees lineup until A-Rod's return, but there are still much better options at third base. Loretta's value would certainly increase, but not enough to make him a worthy fantasy option at the position.

December 10, 2008
The AP reports that Dodgers have finalized a deal with free-agent infielder Mark Loretta.

Our View:The 37-year-old Loretta, a native of Southern California, spent the past two seasons with the Houston Astros after playing for the Red Sox in 2006. He batted .280 with four homers and 38 RBIs in 101 games in 2008, his 14th major league season.

December 9, 2008
ESPN.com reports that the Dodgers are expected to announce the signing of utility man Mark Loretta on Tuesday.

Our View:Loretta will likely be used in a platoon with Blake DeWitt at second base. He hit .280 in 261 at-bats for the Houston Astros last season with four homers and 38 RBIs. He appeared at four infield positions and hit .330 against left-handers.
