The Day in Review

I'm sure Zach enjoyed the Chicago victory over LA much more than I did. Can't comment on more than the last inning because I was engrossed in the hockey game. Onwards and upwards.

Injury News

• Ian Kennedy hit the DL for the New York Yankees, which all but assures that Joba Chamberlain will be in the rotation as soon as Monday. Kennedy is fantasy irrelevant; he'll probably be held in the minors for a while once he's healthy.
• Troy Percival left the game with an injured hamstring. Bummer, he had two K's and was in line for another save. Dan Wheeler or Al Reyes could be a source of cheap saves as one of fantasy's underrated relievers will likely miss some time.

Notable Performances

• Alex Gordon had a nice night, going 3-for-5 with 2 R and an RBI. His batting average is approaching the .300 territory, and he could provide some good value.
• Jose Reyes was also 2-for-5, with 2 R, a  and HR, one RBI and a SB. 
• Joey Votto, trying not to be outdone by fellow youngster Jay Bruce, was 3-for-3 with 3 R, 2 RBI, and a SB. 
• Shane Victorino, see post below, had a great night, going 3-for-4 with 2 R and 2 SB.

And... the Pens won tonight! Sorry, hockey haters, but I waited until the end of the post... that's the best I can do. That's what you need to know about the day.
