Player Notes

July 1, 2009
According to the Tacoma News Tribune, Yuniesky Betancourt could return as early as next week from his hamstring injury and become the Mariners' everyday second baseman.

Our View:Contrary to previous reports, he is closer to returning than expected. Normally a shortstop, Betancourt could play second while Ronnie Cedeno (who is doing a fine job filling in) remains at short and regular second sacker Jose Lopez could slide across the diamond and fill in at third for the injured Adrian Beltre.

June 29, 2009
According to MLB.com, Mariner manager Don Wakamatsu believes that shortstop Yuniesky Betancourt will be sidelined for another two-to-three weeks with his hamstring injury. Betancourt was placed on the 15-day DL last week.

Our View:This is a more accurate timetable for Betancourt, so anyone hanging onto him should make note that he is still pretty far away from a return. Betancourt isn't a great fantasy option, so if you can find someone while he is out you may want to consider keeping them and parting ways with Yuni.

June 25, 2009
Updating a previous report, the Mariners have placed shortstop Yuniesky Betancourt on the 15-day DL with a strained right hamstring, according to The Sports Network. He will be replaced on the roster by the newly activated Jose Lopez.

Our View:It was almost a certainty that Betancourt was hitting the DL, so this should come as no big surprise to owners. If you haven't done so already, you should find a replacement for the time being.

June 25, 2009
According to MLB.com, Mariners' shortstop Yuniesky Betancourt exited Wednesday night's game in the eighth inning with an apparent hamstring injury. There appears to be a strong chance that he is destined for a trip to the DL.

Our View:Betancourt is scheduled to have an MRI today, but it doesn't look good. Expect him to make his first career trip to the DL, so fantasy owners should start looking for a replacement at this point. We will keep you updated on his status.

June 21, 2009
Yuniesky Betancourt went 3-for-4 with an RBI in Sunday's 3-2 win over Arizona a Safeco Field. All three of his knocks were singles.

Our View:Betancourt needed a strong performance, as he was hitting an anemic .189 in June heading into today's game. He should remain too inconsistent to use outside of deeper fantasy leagues.
