The Day in Review

Not much new today, so I'll run you through the few headlines...

Injury News

• Carlos Gomez has started strong but might miss some time with a strained hamstring. His replacement might be worth starting if you're in a very deep league, but otherwise some speedster ought to be in your free agency while Gomez is out.
• A-Rod is back, but didn't do much. At least he's back in the lineup.

Notable Performances

• In a true win-now move (just kidding), the Rangers called up Saltalamacchia. MLBTradeRumors recently pointed out that Texas should be sellers at the deadline, so I expect they are grooming their replacement if Laird leaves.
• On the other hand, Francisco Liriano is going back to the minors. I just don't see him having fantasy relevance for at least a year, if ever. 
• Yovani Gallardo pitched seven scoreless and didn't get the win. Apparently the Marlins pitching was too much for his supporting cast.
• Lyle Overbay homered for the first time this year, and I just have a gut-feeling he's going to show some power in the weeks to come. He's capable of a 20 HR, 80 RBI season in spurts, so if you get him when he's on a spurt he could be valuable.
• The Mariners tied up Johjima for three more years, and I wonder if they will be buyers around the deadline. I'm dreaming of a Konerko for Clement + others deal, and years of Clement with catcher eligibility at U.S. Cellular. Always fun to pretend your a GM, especially for the White Sox since the competition ain't bad.
• Jonathan Sanchez has been missing bats, and put up a gem tonight against Cinci (8 IP, 0 runs, 10 Ks). He's worth a chance if your in need of pitching.

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