Player Notes

July 1, 2008
The Toronto Blue Jays are indicating pitcher Shaun Marcum could be activated from the disabled list as early as July 21st, according to MLB.com.

Our View:Should Marcum experience no setbacks in his recovery from a strained right elbow, Toronto pitching coach Brad Arnsberg said the starter could be activated by July 21 at the earliest. Even then, Arnsberg added that Marcum likely would be limited to around 60-70 pitches in his first outing. The 26-year-old Marcum began a throwing program on Saturday at Toronto's complex in Dunedin, Fla., where he's playing catch on flat ground for the time being. Arnsberg noted that it will probably be at least another week before Marcum can pitch off a mound again. Marcum has been sidelined since June 19 with strained ligaments around his elbow and forearm in his throwing arm. On June 23, the pitcher was examined by renowned arm specialist Dr. James Andrews, who determined that Marcum's injury didn't require surgery.

June 23, 2008
Shaun Marcum received some good news Monday on his injured elbow. The righty visited Dr. James Andrews, who confirmed what Toronto had already determined, that Marcum was suffering from strained ligaments around the elbow and forearm, according to MLB.com. The injury isn't considered serious, and Andrews gave Marcum clearance to begin a throwing program as soon as Saturday.

Our View:There is no timetable for Marcum's return, though this report suggested that the team will likely wait until around the All-Star break to activate him.

June 21, 2008
The Blue Jays placed Shaun Marcum on the DL Saturday with a right elbow strain. Adam Lind was recalled from Triple-A Syracuse to replace him on the roster.

Our View:This is a big blow to fantasy owners, as Marcum has been tremendous this season. The team has yet to announce who will replace him in the rotation

June 18, 2008
Toronto RHP Shaun Marcum put a strong outing on the mound tonight but his Jays fell 5-4 to the Brewers. Marcum pitched six innings to allow four runs (all earned) on six hits with one walk and six strikeouts.

Our View:The two homers allowed did much of the damage, though they are the first homers Marcum has allowed in three June starts.

June 15, 2008
Shaun Marcum deserves better than his 5-3 record. He's pitched better than the mark too. His 2.43 ERA, 7.8 K/9, 2.5 BB/9 tell fantasy managers everything they need to know about the Jays right-hander. He's an ace in waiting.

Our View:The 26-year old in on the verge of overtaking Roy Halladay as the team ace, and it's just a matter of time before he receives the run support to earn some weekly and monthly league honors.
