The Day in Review

Well, I guess I was wrong about Hill, though at least I was spot on about Lieber being next in line. The guy is only spot start worthy, but has been decent thus far this year. Well, on to non-Cubs news...

Injury News

• Chone Figgins tweaked his hamstring and was sent for an MRI. From the report, it doesn't sound like a DL trip is inevitable, though I expect the Angels to be a bit more cautious with Kendrick back in the lineup.

Notable Performances

• With a little more than a month of games, Brandon Webb already has 7 wins. He's just been phenominal, though this was his first "non-quality" start.
• James Loney put up six ribbies with a home run to boot. Despite suggestions that his power last year was a fluke, he should be able to approach 20 HRs with a high average.
• Carlos Question hit his 8th HR, and I'm amazed with his numbers. I think April will have been his best month, but he's a decent outfielder in deeper or 5 OF leagues.
• Adrian Gonzalez has homered in 3 of his last 4 games, and is likely to top his career-high 30 HRs of last year, though not by much. It's a shame he has to play half his games at Petco (yes, the store).
• How many HRs is Utley going to hit? I don't think I have any idea, and after today's, he's up to 13.
• James Shields got roughed up by the Red Sox and King Felix got roughed up by the Yankees. Life in a league with a salary cap.

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