Big Papi

David Ortiz of the Red Sox will be placed on the 15-Day DL with a partially torn tendon in his left wrist. This is devastating news for owners because of his surge of almost 60 points in his batting average this month. According to the Red Sox they are unsure on how long he will be out. This is never good news. But with a torn tendon in his wrist this sounds like a relatively long stint on the DL and if he does have surgery it might take 4-6 weeks and worse case scenario the season.

It is impossible to replace such a bat in any fantasy lineup but for the unlucky who have lost his services, try and find some hot bats off the wire, yes I know how that will be. If you are absolutely dying for power you will have to deal some pitching for hitting. If you are hurting in both categories, it might be time to think ahead to the future.
