The Day in Review

So today, I resolve to not mention hockey on my fantasy baseball blog. How about Jon Lester no-hitting the Kansas City Royals??? What a game! (Lester, by the way, is still not that useful in fantasy. Remember, picking him up tomorrow doesn't get you credit for the no-no). 

Injury News
  • John Smoltz had a setback in his recovery. Although most of us in the recent fantasy roundtable agreed that he would be fine in a closer's role, it appears that right now he's unable to do that comfortably. 
  • Hideki Okajima has been cleared to throw after some wrist soreness. Hopefully the injury explains his early struggles and he will shutdown hitters the way he did last season.
  • Cleveland expects Joe Borowski to be back very soon, possibly by Wednesday.

Notable Performances
  • Well, there weren't enough games for a ton of these. Lester obviously is the most notable. Brett Myers threw a little better against Washington (no HR allowed), but still isn't getting any strikeouts.
  • Geovanny Soto hit an inside-the-park HR... Always fun to see. Aramis Ramirez went 3-for-5 with a homer, two runs, and two RBI. 
  • Josh Hamilton broke 50 RBI with a solo HR. Teammate Ian Kinsler added another solo shot.

With the limited slate of games, this hasn't been a make-or-break day for fantasy. Hopefully you enjoyed Lester's masterful pitching performance.

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