Lance Berkman is dealing with a bit of Biceps Tendonitis, which hinders his ability to flex his shoulder to throw, and would also interfere with his ability to hit lefthanded, as the Biceps tendon tends to increase its’ irritability with flexion, abduction and external rotation (such as with a follow-through). The irritation is supposedly […]

Chase Utley is now my top-ranked second baseman for all mixed fantasy leagues - regardless of his hip surgery. He is running, hitting, fielding, sliding into bases without pain. This guy is a warrior, and he simply has the mentality necessary to get through the often-rigorous rehab process.

Hanley Ramirez continues to deal with a strained left shoulder - the same one that had been operated on - after diving for a ground ball last week. He has missed four games thus far, but he looks likely to play today since he was able to take batting practice yesterday. With inherently unstable […]

Chris Young is on his way back to the Padres rotation, and those who are banking on him producing for their teams in the fantasy playoffs surely are going to be happy that he will be back for a handful of starts before the season ends. The Padres would be wise to not run […]
After being away for about a week, there are plenty of players to talk about. I did manage to put up a couple of quick posts, but here is the latest rundown:
Carlos Guillen has been dealing with a disc herniation in his lower back for quite some time now, and although he had been […]
First, the good news:
Chipper Jones is back in the starting lineup after missing one game following a sore groin. Expect Chipper to continue to rake as long as he is healthy. That being said, expect him to have a few more instances of these muscle strains throughout the rest of the season. If you have […]
Tuesday night brings two new injuries - the severity of which are unknown at this time. Cincinnati shortstop Jeff Keppinger apparently has fractured his left Patella (kneecap) after fouling a ball off his knee. A fractured Patella is one of the worst bones to fracture, as it is responsible for accepting tensile […]
