Injury wise any ligament tear or fracture has the possibility to end someone’s season. With the season over in a little over 6 weeks, it’s crunch time.
Carl Crawford
He felt a pop in his hand during his last at bat which to me isn’t good considering they put him on the DL right away basically. During a swing there is an incredible amount of…

Not quite as many injuries as everyone is starting to take a real look at their team and determine whether or not they’re going to go for it this year. We’re also nearing the point where any surgery will take up most of the second half and therefore if a new injury pops up and requires surgery, serious thoughts must be given as to whether or not to drop…

With the onslaught of injury news the past several days, I’ve had to limit my analysis to the top ones that I expect will have ramifications for your fantasy team. If you like these and would like to see what else I do other than injury analysis, please check out Fantasy Baseball Strategy.
Dan Uggla
Uggla has said that he probably won’t return until Thursday July…

Mulder came off of the DL but sent to bullpen as their left handed specialist for the immediate time being. He has basically lost the last two seasons due to Expect nothing from him fantasy wise because he’s going to be a left-handed specialist.
Isringhausen went to DL (or likely will) because of feeling a pop in his knee while stretching in the dugout on Thursday. He said…

I just want to start out with a situation that really made me mad! Ok, so it is safe to assume that Justin Verlander is back. He has had now five straight starts where he allowed three runs or less, and his ERA is down almost two full runs in the past two months. So tonight he throws six…

Bad news for Alfonso Soriano owners, he left tonight’s game after being struck in the hand by a Jeff Bennett pitch. X-Rays revealed Soriano broke his left index finger, it…

All that hype for what? The buzz around New York City today was the “first start for Joba Chamberlain.” 
Well, because of his pitch count, Joba pitched longer during his time in the bullpen than he did when he started tonight. Things didn’t go as the Yankees planned as Chamberlain threw 62 pitches in just 2.1…

A congratulations to Ryan is in order, who by the time he reads this, should be a father to a second beautiful baby girl (Good luck when they are teenagers!). So in the time he is away, I will try to fill his shoes with tonight’s Beyond the Boxscore.
Daisuke Matsuzaka left yesterday’s Redsox game at the start of the fifth inning. It was first believed to…

The majority of the news tonight revolves around starting pitching, so let’s just get the hitting out of the way quickly.
Rangers’ catcher Jarrod Saltalamacchia hit his second homer of the season, and he made it count. Salty went Grand Salami, and although he is hitting just over .220, he is certainly an option for those of you suffering with a crappy option at catcher. He is young, he…

It has been an offensive night tonight, with baseballs leaving ballparks all over the country.
By the 5th inning of tonight’s game, Phillies CF Jayson Werth had three home runs and eight RBI tying the franchise record for runs batted in within a single game. Werth has been a decent player to have at the end of your roster, but tonight someone will grab him and start to play him…
