Player Notes

August 11, 2009
Shaun Marcum is likely to spend the remainder of the 2009 campaign in the minors, according to MLB.com. Jays' GM J.P. Ricciardi said, "He is healthy. There is nothing wrong with him, but there is no reason to rush him. He is going to pitch next year for us. He will be like 17 months post-op (elbow surgery) at that time. He feels good. We will probably just keep throwing him, but there is really probably no need to get him to the big leagues at this point."

Our View:Marcum holds a solid 2.30 ERA over five rehab outings, and the 27-year-old hurler is worth stashing in keeper leagues for 2010. As for right now in standard leagues, he is no longer worth holding.

July 14, 2009
Shaun Marcum is slated to make his next rehab start with Double-A New Hampshire Thursday, according to TSN. He continues to recover from elbow surgery.

Our View:Thursday's rehab start will be his third, and he made his first two with Single-A Dunedin. The Jays are hopeful that the 27-year-old hurler could return at some point in August. He is worth stashing as a flier for deeper fantasy leagues.

July 13, 2009
According to the Toronto Sun, Blue Jays' starter Shaun Marcum pitched in his second rehab game in Single-A on Saturday. He allowed two runs on five hits in three innings pitched, and he struck out five without walking a hitter. He is on pace to rejoin the team during the first week of August.

Our View:The line wasn't great, but the five strikeouts have to make the Jays happy. It was believed that Marcum would not be able to pitch this season after elbow surgery in September, but his recovery has been ahead of schedule. If he joins the rotation in early August, he could be worth a flier in AL-only leagues for sure and possibly in mixed leagues if he proves he is back healthy.

May 5, 2009
Shaun Marcum is ahead of schedule in his return from Tommy John surgery and could pitch at some point this season, according to MLB.com. "Marcum's throwing bullpens now, which is good," GM J.P. Riccardi said. "He threw a couple of bullpens in Kansas City. So, May, he'll throw bullpens. Maybe June, get into some Minor League games -- maybe. He's way ahead of schedule. I think -- just psychologically -- if we get Marcum on the mound by even September, it's going to do a lot for him coming [back] next year, as opposed to having not pitched."

Our View:Marcum isn't someone that's going to be much help in fantasy leagues even if he does return this year, but he's certainly worth keeping an eye on for keeper leagues.

April 29, 2009
Shaun Marcum will throw a bullpen session on Thursday, according to MLB.com. He is only expected to throw 35 pitches.

Our View:Marcum is recovering from Tommy John surgery, but he seems to be a bit ahead of schedule at this point. It's starting to look like he may try and make a late season return, but he currently holds no fantasy value.
