The Day in Review
Congrats to Asdrubal Cabrera for turning an unassisted triple play. Even though Troy Tulowitzki turned an unassisted triple play last year, these plays are extremely rare (14 in history, including Cabrera and Tulo). Now for today's fantasy news & notes:
Injury Watch
- Rafael Furcal is heading to the DL. They will make it retroactive to May 6, so he won't have to stay on for long, but he'll be there until he's ready. Interestingly, this probably means more playing time for Juan Pierre because of the hole Furcal leaves at the top of the LA lineup.
- Mark Teixeira left the first game of a doubleheader against Pittsburgh with back spasms.
- Still no date for A-Rod's return.
Notable Performances
- Alfonso Soriano is out to prove Zach correct. He was 2 for 4 with a HR, 2 R and 2 RBI (no steals).
- Kenji Johjima (whom I just picked up from the waiver wire in one league) was 3-for-4 with 4 RBI, 2 R and the GW HR in extra innings. Maybe he's waking up from his season-long slump.
- Vlad Guerrero may finally be waking up after a 2-for-5 night with 2 R and 4 RBI.
- Ryan Braun added 2 more HR to his season totals.
It was definitely a high-scoring slate of games today. Hopefully your pitchers weren't starting tonight. That's what you need to know about the day.
