Mathis suffers setback
Posted in Fantasy Baseball by DuckSnort 44 days ago (http://ownersedge.fanball.com)
The News The LA Times reports that Jeff Mathis (wrist) suffered a setback in his minor league rehab assignment on Thursday. Our View The setback isn't related to the wrist as Mathis was hit by a pitch on the thumb while behind the plate. This is the same way he busted the wrist, so he needs to avoid putting his throwing hand in harm's way. Regardless, the new injury has stalled his rehab and now there's almost no way he gets activated this weekend.

Rodriguez might not play til Tues.
Posted in Fantasy Baseball by DuckSnort 44 days ago (http://feeds.cbssports.com)
Yankees 3B Alex Rodriguez did not play in the 4-3 win over the Astros on Friday and received the results from his MRI. Rodriguez has tendinitis in his right hip flexor, a concern for New York but also a bit of a break since the slugger's groin tightness doesn't appear to be related to last year's hip surgery. "To me, it's my groin. It's all pretty connected there," he said. "But I feel pretty good and again, the most important part, the MRI came out negative and we feel good about that." Still, Rodriguez spent most of Friday's game on the training table and could miss this weekend's series against Houston. The Yankees are off Monday before hosting Philadelphia for a three-game set in a rematch of last year's World Series. FanHouse.com is reporting that Rodriguez will not play before Tuesday. "Obviously, the big thing is that we get him healthy," manager Joe Girardi said. "But I'll refer to our doctors and our trainers, on what they think." Alex Rodriguez - Joe Girardi - New Y

Pineiro throws complete game win
Posted in Fantasy Baseball by DuckSnort 44 days ago (http://ownersedge.fanball.com)
The News Joel Pineiro went the distance on Friday, holding the Dodgers to just one run while picking up his third complete game of the season. Our View So the good Pineiro showed up in Friday's 10-1 win. He's been exceptional at times this year, but also abysmal. The three complete games (one shutout) are a testament to his ability to dominate, but he's alos had a handful of starts where he allowed nine runs and was pulled early in the fourth. There's really no way to successfully play him in fantasy leagues. Just flip a coin and pray.
