The News The Dodgers have signed Trent Oeltjen to a minor league deal, according to MLB Trade Rumors. Our View Oeltjen had been playing well for the Brewers' Triple-A affiliate but opted out of his contract since Milwaukee did not call him up.

Posted in Fantasy Baseball by DuckSnort 34 days ago (http://us.rd.yahoo.com)
Roger Clemens' lawyers asked a federal appeals court Wednesday to revive a defamation lawsuit he filed against his former personal trainer, Brian McNamee, who claims he injected the ex-major leaguer with steroids and human growth hormone more than a dozen times. Clemens appealed after a federal judge in Houston dismissed most of his claims against McNamee in February 2009.

The Arizona Republic reports that, while Diamondbacks manager Kirk Gibson hasn't decided if SP Barry Enright will stay in the rotation, he likes what he's seen from the 24-year-old. "He's done a really good job in his first two starts," Gibson said. "I know that. What we're looking for is people to execute game plans, and he was very sharp when he came out early. All in all, I saw a lot of good things. It's too bad he didn't get the victory." Kirk Gibson - Arizona Diamondbacks - Arts - Literature - Cyberpunk

Hudson likely to start for Chicago on Sunday
Posted in Fantasy Baseball by DuckSnort 34 days ago (http://ownersedge.fanball.com)
The News Daniel Hudson is expected to be recalled by the White Sox to start on Sunday, according to MLB.com. Our View Jake Peavy (back) will not be able to make his start on Sunday and could be out for much longer than that, so the prospect Hudson will finally get his chance. He's gone 11-4 with a 3.47 ERA for Triple-A Charlotte and has been especially good over his last 10 starts, going 7-2 with a 2.64 ERA. He's worth a look in all AL-only leagues, as well as any deeper mixed league.

Youkilis may be available today
Posted in Fantasy Baseball by DuckSnort 34 days ago (http://ownersedge.fanball.com)
The News X-rays on Kevin Youkilis' ankle came back negative, and he may be available to play on Wednesday, according to the Associated Press. Our View Youkilis' presence in Boston's lineup today is far from a sure thing, but it sounds like Youkilis believes he'll be out there. Owners in daily leagues should be sure to check back in later today, but this injury certainly does not seem like anything to worry about in the long term.

Could Ellsbury be back this weekend?
Posted in Fantasy Baseball by DuckSnort 34 days ago (http://ownersedge.fanball.com)
The News Jacoby Ellsbury (ribs) could be ready to join the Red Sox in their weekend series at Toronto, according to the Boston Globe. "He may not," manager Terry Francona said of Ellsbury's possible return. "But if he's at the point where he can do the baseball stuff, then he'll join us." Our View Keep in mind that this is far from a sure thing, and it'd seem like a rush to get him back before the All-Star break. It's nice to hear that he's making good progress, but keep Ellsbury out of your lineup until you know for sure that he'll be back.

Posted in Fantasy Baseball by DuckSnort 34 days ago (http://ownersedge.fanball.com)
The News Doug Mathis will start against Baltimore on Saturday, according to the Fort Worth Star-Telegram. Our View He should get a few starts under his belt until either Rich Harden or Derek Holland heal up enough to return to the Rangers. Mathis' spot in the rotation is definitely temporary, and thus there's no reason to bother picking him up.
