The Day in Review

For those in head-to-head matchups, today's weather certainly showed how much "luck" can influence a fantasy league. Hopefully you weren't too disheveled and still coasted to victory. Not much new really, so lets get on to it...

Injury News:
  • Millwood hit the DL with a strained left groin, and as Pete noted, any injury could tax his already fleeting value as a second-half sleeper.

Notable Performances:
  • Johnny Cueto struggled against the Mets, who are starting to heat up. Still, most of the Reds youngsters value is in name right now, since his inconsistency has led to an ERA well over five.
  • Ervin Santana followed suit, falling into his old ways of struggling on the road by giving up five runs over 5.2 innings against the Rays. Crawford was the man responsible, lunching a three-run homer and stealing two bases in a nice outing.
  • Dan Uggla hit two homeruns for the second time this month. He's got eleven so far, but his BABIP and power numbers should come back to Earth and he figures to be a bit of a sell-high candidate.
  • Torres came in to close, gave up a hit, a walk, and a run, then had Shouse come in to get the save. When the Brewers said they were going to close by committee, I figured they meant by game, not by out. This one could get interesting.
  • Bannister threw a gem and showcased the potential the Royals have with their young rotation. But if they were buyers, who would they go after?
  • Rich Harden came back, but gave up eight hits and four walks over three and two-thirds, resulting in five runs. Despite playing in the unfriendly confines of Texas, none of those runs came of homers, but I'm optimistic Harden will put up decent numbers for the month he stays healthy.

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