The Day in Review

Boy am I glad I didn't draft Derek Anderson in my most recent fantasy football draft...

Injury News

• Ryan Braun hurt himself swinging in the sixth inning for Milwaukee. I don't know what else to say, really.
• Justin Duchscherer left Monday's game with hip pain - after his great first half, though, he's fallen off lately.
• Ian Kinsler has a sports hernia, which will likely end his outstanding season. Rotoworld said that he could "face surgery" and at first I thought this meant he needed surgery on his face, so I'm still trying to recover from that grammatical misunderstanding.

Notable Performances

• I am so tired of reporting on CC Sabathia. Consider this me not reporting that he had another complete game with 9 K's, and went 2-for-3 at the plate.
• Nick Swisher hit his 18th homer tonight - was I the only one who expected more from him? Carlos Quentin, by contrast, hit his 35th. Wow.
• Curtis Granderson drove in 4 for Detroit and Gary Sheffield added a HR.
• Aubrey Huff has 27 home runs - there's one I really didn't know. Jason Bay bested him with 2 HR tonight, though. Did you know Bay has hit .348 since going to Boston? I honestly thought he'd be the opposite.
• Adam LaRoche hit a 2-run HR for Pittsburgh as he continues to be good enough in the second half to keep through his awful first halves.

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