The Day in Review

The second straight day without a major injury, and for one, I'm relieved. Not only were there no injuries, but I have some good news about old news. So let's get right to it...

Injury News

• As expected, Figgins will likely avoid the DL since his "tweaking" was officially termed a slight sprain.
• Rollins went 4-4 in his rehab assignment of an extended Spring Training game. Pete should be happy, since his keepers in our head-to-head league were A-Rod and Rollins. And he thought he was set...

Notable Performances

• Max Scherzer was anything but unhittable against the Phillies today, but I don't think they are the most picturesque team to start for the first time against. His owners should be happy that the 4 innings of 7 hit, 2 BB ball only yielded 2 earned runs.
• Giovani Soto (the only player I own in every league I'm in) and Rafael Furcal are still tearing the cover off the ball. Each launched a homerun today, while Soto's 3-3 night improved his batting average to .352. Hopefully you took our advice on both going into the season, since they are all we have as far as bragging rights go.
• Wladimir Balentien homered for the second time and is worth owning in deep leagues. For future years though, he will forever be overvalued due to his name. Sadly, this is not a joke.
• Dana Eveland and Ervin Santana are both pitching great, and Santana really is that comeback kid when you consider his complete game, 4-hit shutout came on the road. Even against the "lowly" Royals, his performance has been nothing short of dominant.

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