Player Notes

June 16, 2009
The Miami Herald is reporting that the Braves have activated first baseman Casey Kotchman from the 15-day DL. In a corresponding move, the team optioned infielder Barbaro Canizares to Triple-A Gwinnett.

Our View:Kotchman had been impressive before his injury, and fantasy owners need to hope he remains so upon his return to the Braves' lineup. Fantasy owners should feel free to activate Kotchman, as he is expected to return to the lineup as soon as tonight.

June 13, 2009
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution is reporting that Braves' first baseman Casey Kotchman is set to begin his rehab assignment this weekend. Kotchman will play Saturday and Sunday for Triple-A Gwinnett, and if all goes well he is expected to be activated in time for Tuesday's game.

Our View:Kotchman sounds like he is pretty close to being ready, and assuming he makes it through the weekend without reinjuring himself he should return Tuesday. Fantasy owners should be ready to activate him, and check back to make sure he will be ready to go.

June 7, 2009
Casey Kotchman has been placed on the 15-day DL due to a strained calf and bruised shin, according to the Associated Press. The Braves recalled top pitching prospect Tommy Hanson from Triple-A as the adjoining move.

Our View:Kotchman is eligible to come off the DL June 16.Martin Prado has been covering first base in his absence.

June 1, 2009
The X-rays on Casey Kotchman's right shin were negative, and he has been diagnosed with a shin contusion, according to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution. He is expected to miss three or four days with the injury. Kotchman was helped from the field during Sunday's game in the fourth inning after being hit by a pitch in the leg.

Our View:Great news for Kotchman and the Braves. It looked bad, but luckily for him nothing in the leg is broken. The injury is minor, so if you have Kotchman you can expect him to be back this weekend.

May 19, 2009
Casey Kotchman was 3-for-5 with three RBI in the Braves 8-1 win over the Rockies on Tuesday.

Our View:Kotchman was the Braves' biggest bat on Tuesday while hitting second in the order. He likely saw some nice pitches hitting in front of Chipper Jones and took full advantage. Kotchman has been good this season, but doesn't have enough power to warrant mixed league consideration at first base.
