The Day in Review

These late games are a pain to wait out, but I'll give you the news so far. I'm rooting for the Reds to clean up in extra innings, but in the meantime let's see what's going on around the league.

Injuries

• Dmitri Young has landed himself on the DL, and while he wasn't getting much playing time in the first place, I for one am disappointed in even less. As a side note, the Nationals offense is much more formidable this year (foreshadowing to a future post...)
• Rollins on the other hand is expected back Wednesday.
• Matt Garza left early with an undisclosed injury, and with the way he's been pitching I think the Rays may give him a rest for the 15 days. The Rays have a bunch of pitching prospects, but Rotoworld expects them to give Jeff Niemann the call if need be.
• Jeter is out until Friday, and Yahoo! suggests that A-Rod might play SS this year. I don't see it happening.
• Liriano is expected back Sunday, but I would be hesitant to expect impact this early.
• K-Rod doesn't think he'll see the DL, but from the perspective of the Angels this has more to do with the risk of putting Shields in there.

A couple other tidbits...

• Some young pitchers continued to struggled today (Phil Hughes and Chad Billingsley) while others (Johnny Cueto and Brian Bannister) are showing flashes of brilliance.
• Brandon Lyon was given a vote of confidence from his coach; Jeremy Accardo gave up his first run of the season. The latter should make it easier to rush B.J. Ryan into the closer role once "healthy".
• Baltimore is 6-1, while Detroit is 0-7. Gotta love baseball.

That's what you need to know about the day.
