The Day in Review

Not much really going on today, but some updates on previous injuries, which I warn you is bad news. But I'll get to the point...

Injury News
  • The defending MVP-runner up Troy Tulowitzki could be out until at least the All Star Break, and I can't imagine the Rockies will rush him back if they are struggling like they are now.
  • Phil Hughes is out until July, and you might as well drop him. This is a pretty sad story considering how enthusiastic New York and the fantasy baseball community was about the young pitcher.
  • B.J. Upton, he of the "if he can stay healthy an entire season" prefaces, will miss tomorrow's game. However, Upton was optimistic about the injury, reporting basically "I've had worse" (done with a British accent).

Notable Performances
  • Miguel Cabrera and Ryan Braun both homered today and, despite being somewhat disappointing this season, are starting to heat up with the weather.
  • A.J. Burnett, who I had considered a buy-low candidates based on BABIP, put up a scoreless outing today. Do your best to try to get him now; maybe someone had written him off and thinks his value has peaked after the start.
  • Nick Adenhart, who has been a big name as far as prospect pitchers go, walked 5 in 2 innings. This in turn led to 5 runs, so it was an ugly outing for the young hurler. Hopefully things turn around, but right now its too early to pass judgement.

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