The Day in Review

So I'm watching the Final Four and figured I'd do some fantasy baseball in the background. Trying to diffuse some of the drama, you know.

Injury News:

• Howie Kendrick is day-to-day after leaving the game with a thumb injury. Should be minor, but remember, Kendrick's injury last season cost him a lot of the year.
• Derek Jeter left the Yankee game today with a strained quad. He should also be day-to-day.
• Rich Harden was scratched from his start, but he's already been scheduled for his next start so it probably isn't an injury. If you took a flier on Justin Duchscherer, however, you may be waiting a little longer. He has some inflammation in his biceps and has been scratched and may need a cortisone injection or more.
  

Notable Performances:

• Matt Holliday's early season slump may be over after hitting safely in the last three games, including a game-winning home run last night. 
• Chipper Jones has started off the season strong, hitting .400 with an OPS of nearly 1.000. As long as he's healthy, he looks very good at third base - he fell too far in my drafts this year. 
• Also at third base: Attention, owners of Josh Fields: It's time to pick up Joe Crede. He hit a grand slam today and is going to be the White Sox regular third baseman for a long time. At least ride him while he's hot.
• Hanley Ramirez hit his second home run, to go with only one steal on the season. Hopefully you didn't draft him to carry your stolen bases alone, because it looks like he isn't going to be getting free reign on the basepaths this year. 

So somehow, Kansas pulled it out. Hopefully you saw that one coming and made some money in your tournament pools. That's what you need to know about the day.
