|
| Alfredo Figaro threw a complete game shutout three-hitter for Low-A West Michigan on Sunday to improve his record to 7-2. |
Our View: Figaro’s 1.22 ERA in 11 starts makes him look like a top prospect until we realize that he turns 24 in July. He is far too advanced to be pitching at Low-A
|
|
|
|
| J.P. Arencibia hit his 10th homer of the season for High-A Dunedin on Sunday. |
Our View: Toronto’s top pick in the 2007 draft is now hitting .319-10-49. His 8/38 BB/K leaves room for improvement, but the Jays can’t be too upset.
|
|
|
|
| Greg Halman went 3-for-4 with his 16th homer of the season for High-A High Desert on Sunday. |
Our View: The 20-year-old’s tools never cease to amaze. He is showing that he is ready for Double-A from a talent perspective, but it will be interesting to see how his raw approach at the plate translates vs. better pitching.
|
|
|
|
| Max Ramirez hit his 14th home run of the season for Double-A Frisco on Sunday. He is now hitting .376-14-42 this season. |
Our View: Ramirez continues to be an absolute monster at the plate. The real question is still whether he can remain at catcher as he moves up. At this point the answer is probably no, but he still has time to improve.
|
|
|
|
| Texas' Ian Kinsler stretched his career-best hitting streak to 16 games with a sixth-inning single in Sunday's loss to Oakland. |
Our View: Kinsler and Josh Hamilton are on the way to the All Star game.
|
|
|
|
| Josh Hamilton hit his American League leading 15th home run on Sunday against the A's. The center fielder recorded two RBI to add to his lead leading 63. |
Our View: Hamilton finished 2-for-5 in the loss to the A's scoring twice and raising his average to .328.
|
|
|
|
| Aaron Hill, who left Thursday's game after a collision with shortstop David Eckstein and suffered a concussion, missed his third straight game Sunday. |
Our View: Hill remains day-to-day.
|
|
|
|
| Tigers' manager Jim Leyland continues to be creative with his starting lineups. Carlos Guillen started in left field for the first time in his career as a way for Leyland to get Brandon Inge, Guillen and Miguel Cabrera in the lineup together. |
Our View: Guillen was 2-for-5 with an RBI in Sunday's win raising his average to .295 on the season.
|
|
|
|
| Miguel Batista allowed three runs on five hits, walked four and struck out two in 5.1 innings of work Sunday. |
Our View: The Seattle right-hander has been up and down the entire season, mostly down. Batista carried a heavy 5.98 ERA and 1.87 WHIP into today's game.
|
|
|
|
| Jeremy Bonderman allowed a career-high 12 hits but only three earned runs in seven innings of work. The right-hander was not involved in the decision on Sunday as the Tigers scratched out four runs in the ninth inning to win their 24th game of the season. |
Our View: Bonderman managed to strand nine baserunners from the second through the seventh. He still has only one win in his last six starts.
|
|
|
|
| J.J. Putz began the ninth by striking out Ivan Rodriguez but then walked Brandon Inge allowed Curtis Granderson and Placido Polanco to single giving the Tigers 4-3 lead, and eventually the win on Sunday. Putz suffered his third loss of the season. |
Our View: Putz already has two more losses and one more blown save (three total) than he had all last year. His ERA jumped from 3.71 to 5.60, and in 17 games this yar he's allowed 11 earned runs. He had a 1.38 ERA last season, allowing 11 earned runs in 68 appearances.
|
|
|
|
| Zach Miner eared his second win of the season by throwing a scoreless eighth inning and the Detroit Tigers scored four times in the ninth inning off struggling J.J. Putz to beat the Seattle Mariners 7-5 Sunday. |
Our View: Starter Jeremy Bonderman surrendered three runs and a career-high 12 hits over seven innings in the no-decision. Miner has no traditional fantasy value working in middle relief.
|
|
|
|
| Magglio Ordonez went 2-for-4 and drove in a pair of runs to help the Tigers start a four-run ninth inning as Detroit outlasted Seattle, 7-5 on Sunday.
|
Our View: Ordonez has 37 RBI, 34 runs scored and is hitting .329 on the season.
|
|
|
|
| Miguel Cabrera's two-run double sparked a four-run ninth inning as Detroit outlasted Seattle, 7-5, in the finale of a three-game weekend series at Safeco Field. |
Our View: Cabrera was lowered in the batting order recently due to his supposed .276 average. Manager Jim Leyland has tried everything in his black book to get this Tigers team jump started and is again messing with his lineup.
|
|
|
|
| Jack Cust finished May hot and began June with the same fire. The A's left-fielder hit a home run and drove in two runs as the Oakland Athletics rallied for a 13-8 victory over the Texas Rangers on Sunday to end their four-game losing streak. |
Our View: Cust now has nine home runs, 23 RBI and 29 runs scored on the season.
|
|
|
|
| Scott Feldman allowed four runs (three earned) on four hits, walked two and struck out two in six innings of work. |
Our View: Feldman lost what should have been a win when reliever Jamey Wright gave up four runs on two hits in the seven inning before recording an out. The A's went on to score nine seventh-inning runs in a 13-8 victory.
|
|
|
|
| Rookie Jose Arredondo got credit for the victory after three innings of scoreless relief in the Angels 4-3 come from behind over the Toronto Blue Jays on Sunday. |
Our View: It was Arrendondo's sixth appearance of the season and his second win.
|
|
|
|
| Jon Garland threw 115 pitches over five innings, matching his shortest outing in 12 starts with the Angels. He allowed three runs on five hits, walked four and struck out three in the no-decision. |
Our View: It's begun in a quiet kind of way. Garland walks four this outing, gives up runs in each of the first three innings, and escapes the loss because the Jays bullpen blows the ninth inning lead. The no-decision kept his career record against Toronto at 10-2, but the outing was just the first of many more like this to yet to come. The right-hander has been the benefactor of a high Strand Rate and evidence of that comes from his 2.39 K Rate and 3.14 Walk Rate. Owners that roster Garland should shop him fast while his value is still high.
|
|
|
|
| A.J. Burnett allowed two runs on three hits, walked three and struck out eight over eight innings. However, B.J. Ryan blew his first save of the season spoiling the Burnett effort. |
Our View: Burnett deserved better and Ryan, who has been superb this year after returning from TJ surgery, has to be excused for his first failed save chance.
|
|
|
|
| B.J. Ryan hit Howie Kendrick with a bases-loaded fastball in the ninth inning to force in the tying run. One pitch later shortstop Maicer Izturis singled home the game-winner to give the Los Angeles Angels a 4-3 victory over the Toronto Blue Jays on Sunday.
|
Our View: It was Ryan's first blown save in 13 attempts this season.
|
|
|
|
| Jose Bautista went 3-for-4 and was the lone bright spot for in the Pirates 7-4 loss to the Cardinals on Sunday. |
Our View: Bautista raised his average 12 points (.247 to 259) with the three-hit performance.
|
|
|
|
| Chicago rookie Sean Gallagher allowed three runs on six hits, walked none and struck out eight in 5.2 innings of work, and the Chicago Cubs beat the Colorado Rockies 5-3 on Sunday. |
Our View: The strongest part of the rookies arsenal is his ability to induce ground balls. Gallagher had solid peripherals throughout his minor league career except for his Walk Rate (typical of a young pitcher). He's been able to harness his command and retain his extremely low HR Rate. Gallagher is a solid option in NL-only formats.
|
|
|
|
| Brian Burres allowed seven runs on 12 hits, walked one and struck out two, lasting only four innings in a 9-4 loss to the Red Sox. |
Our View: Over his last two starts, the left-hander has surrendered 15 runs and 22 hits. Not what owners wanted from the Fantasy Week 9 two-start pitcher.
|
|
|
|
| J.D. Drew went 2-for-3 with three RBI and the Boston Red Sox won their 35th game of the season in a 9-4 victory over the Baltimore Orioles on Sunday. |
Our View: Drew has missed 14 of the Red Sox 59 games this year due to one injury or another, but has performed well when he's been healthy. The right-fielder has five home runs, 25 RBI and 32 runs scored in 152 at-bats on the season.
|
|
|
|
| Mike Lowell hit his seventh home run of the season and the Boston Red Sox defeated the Baltimore Orioles 9-4 on Sunday. |
Our View: Lowell, who was homerless with no RBI in April, hit six home runs and drove in 22 runs in May. Today's long ball is a solid start to hopefully another productive month.
|
|
|
|
| Bartolo Colon won his third straight game in as many starts and the Boston Red Sox found their lost offense this weekend at the expense of the Baltimore Orioles in a 9-4 victory Sunday. The former Cy Young winner allowed four runs on seven hits, walked two and struck out five in six innings of work. |
Our View: After Colon's first three performances, there is little chance that Clay Buchholz will return to the Boston rotation unless the staff suffers an untimely injury. In fact Justin Masterson, who is in line for two starts this week with Dice-K on the disabled list, might have surpassed Buchholz on the minor league depth chart.
|
|
|
|
| Derek Jeter hit his third home run of the season and was the lone Yankees run producer in a 6-1 loss to the Twins on Sunday afternoon. |
Our View: It's gone mostly unnoticed, but since Derek Jeter was hit on the hand on May 20th, he's hit under .200 and done so without any power. The All Star shortstop has looked more comfortable at the plate the last two days which might be a sign his hand is finally getting healthy.
|
|
|
|
| Darrell Rasner suffered his second straight loss as the Minnesota Twins beat the Yankees 6-1 on Sunday afternoon. The Yankees' right-hander allowed four runs on eight hits, walked two and struck out eight over 5.1 innings of work. |
Our View: Rasner is a serviceable arm for the Yankees, and will be an important part of the rotation if New York is to challenge for postseason play. But that's as far as it goes. In the fantasy realm he's a back-end rotation option in AL-only formats.
|
|
|
|
| The Minnesota's bullpen came through with scoreless relief Sunday after starter Nick Blackburn was hit in the nose by a line drive during the Twins' 5-1 victory over the New York Yankees. Brian Bass won his second game of the year after taking the ball in the fifth inning and throwing 1.2 innings of one hit ball. |
Our View: Bass was followed by Jesse Crain and finally Joe Nathan in the ninth to win the final game of the three game series against New York. Bass' second win in his 18th appearance won't stir the fantasy nation. He came into the game with a 5.61 ERA, 1.72 WHIP and had allowed 44 hits in 33.2 innings of work.
|
|
|
|
| Michael Cuddyer went 3-for-4 and drove in three runs in the Twins' 5-1 victory over the New York Yankees on Sunday. Cuddyer was 5-for-10 with five RBI's this weekend against Yankee pitching. |
Our View: Cuddyer hasn't met preseason expectations in the power categories. His home run on Saturday was only his second of the year in 155 at-bats.
|
|
|
|
| Paul Byrd, who has been roughed up on the road this year, lasted only 4.1 innings in Sunday's 6-1 loss to Kansas City. The right-hander and was charged with six runs and nine hits. He dropped to 0-5 in six road starts.
|
Our View: Byrd is an inning-eater for the Indians. His low K Rate of 3.64 and 10 hits allowed per nine innings doesn't help fantasy owners outside of head-to-head formats.
|
|
|
|
| Grady Sizemore went 2-for-4 with a double and a home run but it wasn't enough as the Indians dropped their second straight game, 6-1, to Kansas City. Sizemore homered with one out in the eighth to spoil Brian Bannister's shutout attempt. |
Our View: The Indians center fielder is heating up. The long ball was Sizemore's third home run in three days.
|
|
|
|
| Brian Bannister pitched into the eighth to help Kansas City beat the Cleveland Indians 6-1 on Sunday. Bannister gave up five hits, walked one and struck out four to earn his first win in four starts. |
Our View: Bannister was working on a shutout when Grady Sizemore homered with one out in the eighth. The Royals right-hander is a solid option against teams he's had success. Bannister is 2-1 with a 1.37 ERA in four starts against the Indians.
|
|
|
|
| Jacoby Ellsbury slowed down on Sunday. He went 3-for-5 with only one stolen base against the Orioles. Ellsbury was also caught attempting to take second base. He has swiped eight bags over the past four games. |
Our View: The Orioles had to catch him once, didn't they? Ellsbury continues to lead the majors with 27 steals, and his fantasy stock seems to rise with each passing day.
|
|
|
|
| Luke Scott went 2-for-4 with a double, homer, two runs, and two RBI in Sunday's loss to the Red Sox. The outfielder has socked three long balls over his last eight games. |
Our View: Scott hasn't been the breakout player than some fantasy owners hoped for, but the recent power surge is nice. Too bad he isn't hitting much of anything else.
|
|
|
|
| J.D. Drew went 2-for-3 with a homer, walk, one run, and three RBI in Sunday's win over the Orioles. |
Our View: We guess J.D. truly is over his battle with vertigo. He's safe to use in fantasy leagues.
|
|
|
|
| Jim Thome went 2-for-5 with a pair of doubles on Sunday. The effort doesn't seem remarkable until you realize that the DH hasn't hit two doubles in a game since August 19, 2006. |
Our View: It only seems like Thome hasn't had a two-hit game of any kind since 2006. The veteran is clinging to his job but maybe this rare effort will spur Thome to better days.
|
|
|
|
| Andy Sonnanstine scattered 10 hits over 5.2 innings of work against the White Sox on Sunday. He held the opposition to three runs and took a no-decision. Sonnanstine has now served up 55 hits over his last 35.2 frames. |
Our View: Sonnanstine continues to lack whatever mojo he showed in April, and we have to wonder how long the Rays will stick with him.
|
|
|
|
| Mark Buehrle went six innings against the Rays on Sunday and allowed seven hits and three runs. The veteran southpaw walked two and struck out five in the no-decision. |
Our View: Given how erratic and generally bad Buehrle has been, the White Sox will take it. He's not worth trusting much in fantasy leagues until he can string together three or four solid efforts.
|
|
|
|
| Gabe Gross did a pretty good job of filling in for a resting Carl Crawford on Sunday. The backup outfielder hit a two-run triple to tie the game at 3-3 in the fifth inning, and he socked a walk-off solo homer in the 10th. |
Our View: Gross is a career .095 hitter against southpaws, so of course he hit his triple and his homer off lefties on Sunday. Go figure. He has no fantasy value despite this nice outing.
|
|
|
|
| Mike Jacobs typically struggles against southpaws, but he took Jamie Moyer deep twice on Sunday. The Marlins first baseman finished the game with four RBI. |
Our View: Jacobs had been struggling a bit over the last 10-12 days, so it's good to see him snap out of his mini-slump in a big day.
|
|
|
|
| Mark Teixeira had only one hit on Sunday, but it was a solo homer. The first baseman has gone deep in three of his last four games. |
Our View: Tex typically heats up with the weather, and we figure he's just ramping up for a big second half.
|
|
|
|
| Richie Sexson is out again on Sunday, and Miguel Cairo will make his fifth straight start at first base. "We've put Cairo out there and to be honest, he's energized us," manager John McLaren explains to the Seattle Times. "He's given us great defense. He's given us a different look, gives us some speed, contact hitter and we've played pretty good. So in the situation we're in, I'm not going to change it. We're starting to play good. Again, it's about Miguel, it's not about Richie." McLaren also suggests that the move is not permanent. |
Our View: We'd suggest that pitching (not the lineup) is the reason the Mariners have won three of their last four, but, hey, who are we to doubt Mr. McLaren's logic?
|
|
|
|
| Nick Blackburn took a Bobby Abreu line drive off the face on Sunday. He left during the fifth inning and was replaced by Brian Bass. Blackburn was hit on the right side of the face and walked off under his own power, the Minneapolis Star Tribune notes. |
Our View: We obviously hope Blackburn is bruised and not broken. We'll update his status as soon as more is known. Nick could be a DL candidate and may offer a chance for Boof Bonser to stick in the rotation or open up a spot for Francisco Liriano.
|
|
|
|
| Matt Holliday will begin a Triple-A rehab assignment on Thursday, the Denver Post reports. He will spend three days with the Sky Sox and test his injured left hamstring. |
Our View: Fantasy owners can tentatively plan on using Holliday for the week of June 9-15, and we'll continue to update his progress.
|
|
|
|
| Howie Kendrick is out of the lineup on Sunday. The Angels are giving him a day off after two straight starts, the Orange County Register reports. "We want him to feel his way back into it," manager Mike Scioscia says. "I think his hamstring is fine. Everything seems to be where it needs to be." Sean Rodriguez will start in his place. |
Our View: Fantasy owners can still get Howie back into their lineups for the week ahead. Heck, maybe he'll even stick around for three or four in a row.
|
|
|
|
| Doug Mathis has been moved up in the rotation to start on Monday against the Indians, the AP reports. |
Our View: Mathis is due for a two-start week, with a second outing coming on Saturday against the Rays. He pitched well in his last start, but fantasy owners shouldn't be banking on this 24-year-old right-hander.
|
|
|
|
| Vicente Padilla is on his way to Nicaragua to attend a family matter, the Dallas Morning News reports. His scheduled start has been pushed from Monday to Tuesday. If he can't return in time, A.J. Murray would be called up. |
Our View: We hope everything is okay with Padilla and his family. We'll continue to provide updates as more details emerge.
|
|
|
|
| Kelvin Jimenez was sent down to Triple-A Memphis on Sunday, the AP reports. |
Our View: It was a short, rough ride for Jimenez. He gave up six hits and five runs over 3.1 innings on Saturday, his only appearance this time around.
|
|
|
|
| Victor Martinez is still dealing with a lingering left hamstring issue, and he was not in the starting lineup on Sunday. "Victor needs the day," manager Eric Wedge explains to the Cleveland Plain Dealer. "When he hits, his lower half is real active. It all comes into play with him... He still feels it when he runs." Martinez initially injured his hamstring on March 31. |
Our View: Martinez hit only .221 in May, and now we know he had a reason beyond the neck and finger issues he had during the month. He is day-to-day and safe to start in fantasy leagues in the upcoming week.
|
|
|
|
| Travis Metcalf will start at third base against the A's on Sunday, the Fort Worth Star-Telegram notes. |
Our View: Ramon Vazquez has been holding down the hot corner, but the Rangers can't count on him to continue hitting .330 (or even above .300). Metcalf could step into a chunk of playing time if he can stay healthy and hit well.
|
|
|
|
| Carlos Quentin will get the day off on Sunday, the Chicago Tribune reports. Nick Swisher is starting in left field, and Brian Anderson is in center. |
Our View: Quentin isn't injured, so fantasy owners shouldn't panic. The rising star has played in 54 of 55 games, and it's just a good time to take a breather.
|
|
|
|
| The Yankees plan to call up Dan Giese on Tuesday, the New York Daily News reports. Giese, 31, is 4-2 with a 2.02 ERA over 12 appearances (nine starts) at Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre. |
Our View: Giese will help fill a long relief role while Joba Chamberlain eases into the starting rotation. Fantasy owners can pass on Giese, even though he has generally been excellent at Triple-A.
|
|
|
|
| The Yankees designated Morgan Ensberg for assignment on Sunday, the New York Daily News reports. |
Our View: The 32-year-old corner infielder hasn't hit consistently well for two or three years, but some club might claim him off waivers. We don't envision Morgan gaining much fantasy value, though.
|
|
|
|
| Nick Punto was scratched from the starting lineup on Sunday. He is dealing with general soreness, the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports. Punto was slated to start at shortstop, but Brendan Harris will take his place. |
Our View: We imagine the recent hamstring injury plus the birth of his child on Friday have Punto's head spinning and body hurting. Fantasy owners shouldn't have much interest in the light-hitting infielder.
|
|
|
|
| David Ortiz is not in Sunday's lineup against the Orioles. He injured his left wrist on Saturday night and is day-to-day. The Boston Globe believes Ortiz will undergo an MRI at some point. X-rays taken on Saturday were negative. |
Our View: We hope Big Papi will talk to reporters after the game and give an update. Fantasy owners should tentatively plan on using Ortiz in the week ahead, and we'll provide updates as more news comes out.
|
|
|
|
| J.D. Drew will start in right field on Sunday, the Boston Globe confirms. The veteran outfielder has been dealing with vertigo. |
Our View: Our guess is that Orioles starter Brian Burres will throw Drew a bunch of curveballs on Sunday. Anyway, fantasy owners can use J.D. if they wish.
|
|
|
|
| Carl Crawford is getting a day off on Sunday, the St. Petersburg Times reports. Gabe Gross will start in right field. |
Our View: The Rays don't play on Monday, which makes this a good time for Crawford to get a two-day breather. He's not injured, so there's nothing to be worried about here.
|
|
|
|
| Matt Albers could start on Tuesday against the Twins, the Baltimore Sun reports. Triple-A hurler Radhames Liz is also a candidate to replace Steve Trachsel. |
Our View: The Orioles could make a more permanent move if Albers or Liz impresses. Trachsel has not pitched well, and these two young right-handers are both in the long-term plans. AL-only fantasy owners may be interested.
|
|
|
|
| Kevin Millar is dealing with a strained right hamstring and bruised left shin, but he doesn't want to take time off. "He's the manager, but I'll resist it if it's because of the hamstring," Millar tells the Baltimore Sun. "I'm 100 percent fine. Dave (Trembley) knows I'm 100 percent fine." The veteran admits he hasn't been able to run at full speed since straining his hamstring about 10 days ago. |
Our View: Millar's game isn't at all about speed, and he hasn't suffered too much at the dish. We won't be surprised if he's out of the lineup a little bit in the near future, though.
|
|
|
|
| David Ortiz underwent X-rays on his left wrist on Saturday night. The results were negative, the Boston Globe reports. "He took a swing and felt something in his wrist," manager Terry Francona explains. "It was very tender. That is what we know right now. Obviously, it is a concern. We will wait to hear what happened." |
Our View: We'll let you know when more updates are available. Fantasy owners in daily transaction leagues should expect Big Papi to sit on Sunday.
|
|
|
|
| Nick Swisher was dropped to ninth in the batting order on Saturday. The struggling slugger also shaved the hair off both sides of his bead. "I don't know what else to do," Swisher informs the Chicago Tribune. He went 0-for-2 and saw his average dip to .201. |
Our View: Swisher is just one of many struggling Sox batters. If Jerry Owens were hitting better at Triple-A, the speedster might be digging into Swisher's playing time. As it is, Ozzie Guillen can only drop Nick in the order and hope the slugger can turn it around.
|
|
|
|
| Carlos Guillen is moving again. The infielder is slated to start in left field on Sunday, the Detroit Free Press reports. Guillen has never played outfield in the pros. "This is how I can get (Guillen) in the lineup if I want to play (Brandon) Inge at third," manager Jim Leyland explains. Guillen will remain the regular third baseman. |
Our View: Inge is excellent defensively, which is likely the reason Leyland wants to get him some looks at third base. Fantasy owners don't need to make any changes here. Guillen may simply add another eligible position to his fantasy resume.
|
|
|
|
| Mark Grudzielanek went 2-for-4 with an RBI on Saturday. He had missed the previous four games due to a sore back. |
Our View: Grudzy opened and closed the month of May with an RBI and drove in zero runs from May 2-30. He doesn't bring anything to the table outside a decent batting average, and he has very little fantasy value.
|
|
|
|
| Nick Punto started at shortstop on Saturday night, and although he committed a costly error, he could see a lot more time at that spot. "I'm going to see how he does and go from there," manager Ron Gardenhire informs the St. Paul Pioneer Press. "Every day? He'll determine that, but I know what he can do and I know what he does best, and that's defense, and I know you need to catch the ball in the middle of the field." |
Our View: While Punto was out, Alexi Casilla stepped in at second and shifted Brendan Harris to shortstop. Harris may end up as the odd-man out, although Brendan could rotate in at second, short, and third base. Yeah, it's a bit of a mess right now as Gardenhire tries to find the best combination.
|
|
|
|
| Mike Sweeney has cartilage damage on the inside and outside of his left knee, the Oakland Tribune reports. The veteran will see a doctor in the Bay Area on Monday. Sweeney is on the DL. |
Our View: We won't be surprised if a surgery report comes out on Monday or Tuesday. Sweeney can still swing a bit when healthy, but he has no fantasy value.
|
|
|
|
| Jorge Posada won't return to the Yankees lineup until Thursday, at the earliest. "He will catch Monday and Tuesday in extended spring training, and if everything goes OK, he could catch here Thursday," manager Joe Girardi informs the New York Post. Posada is on the DL due to rotator cuff tendinitis, and he missed all of May. |
Our View: Posada is making good progress in his extended spring games, but the Yankees clearly don't want to rush the veteran. Fantasy owners can count on him returning this week, but Posada might only play two or three times.
|
|
|
|
| Ian Kinsler went 3-for-5 and extended his hitting streak to 15 games on Saturday night. The second baseman hit .300 with six homers, 22 RBI, 27 runs, and eight steals over 26 games in May. |
Our View: Kinsler has been moving up the fantasy second base rankings and is beginning to look like a difference-maker at the position. Fantasy owners should enjoy the ride.
|
|
|
|
| Elvis Andrus has a fractured finger on his right hand and will miss the next three weeks, the Dallas Morning News reports. The 19-year-old shortstop is hitting .268 with 19 steals at Double-A Frisco. |
Our View: Andrus is the team's top position prospect, and he is just hoping to get a cup of coffee in September. This injury doesn't really hamper his keeper league value.
|
