The Day in Review

Good evening, readers - I hope you all have enjoyed the NHL playoffs as much as I have! The big news of the day, which I can't categorize below, is that Jason Isringhausen is "taking a break" as the Cardinals closer. For those of you who were relying heavily on him for saves - try making a trade. Ryan Franklin is the early favorite for the closer's job today.

Injury News

• Vernon Wells is the biggest name to fall in a little while. He's looking at 6-8 weeks out with a sprained wrist. Alex Rios will move to center.
• Kevin Millwood left his start in the first inning with a strained groin. If his health doesn't improve, he won't be a good late-round pickup for long.
• Brian Roberts is day-to-day with a bruised foot... I worry about this because his speed will be destroyed by a foot injury. Watch how Baltimore handles this one.
  

Notable Performances

• Grady Sizemore had two HR and five RBI in a huge game for Cleveland. His performance hasn't been an issue - hopefully Pronk and the rest of the lineup will start following suit and get that offense going.
  
• Andrew Miller has secured his rotation spot with Florida with back-to-back victories, but he shouldn't have secured a spot in your fantasy rotation just yet.

In other NL Central closer news, Eric Gagne doesn't even think he should be closing in Milwaukee. It shouldn't be long before he loses this job.

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