DL Information

Rickie Weeks of the Brewers was placed on the 15-Day DL with a sprained left knee. For fantasy owners who have stuck through his terrible season hope this stint on the DL will give him time to rest and come back strong. Owners, don't keep him on your bench unless you have room.

Jerry Hairston Jr of the Reds, who is doing well this year, has fractured his left thumb and will be placed on the 15-Day DL. This is painful for owners since he is hitting .336AVG with 1HR, 14RBI, and 12SB's. Keep him on your bench or your DL.

Chipper Jones of the Braves has a small tear and had some bleeding his right quad. As I have preached in the past, Jones is the type of player that will get injured throughout the year and if you have a chance try to sell high on this player. So far he has continued to hit and is batting .410AVG but if he does go on the DL it isn't the worst thing that could happen. Losing him for 15 days now instead of severely injuring his quad and being out for the rest of the season is what owners should be hoping for.

Adam Wainwright of the Cardinals was placed on the 15-Day DL with a sprained right middle finger. He is 6-3, with a 3.14ERA, 62K's, and 20BB's all in 91.2 innings. He will be back so just wait this injury out. This is a fantasy pitcher that will continue to help you throughout the rest of the season.

Eric Gagne of the Brewers will return soon but he will not see the closing duties when he does come back. S. Torres is currently the closer and Gagne will have to earn his way back while Torres has to lose his job. Owners who have kept Gagne, keep him only if you have room. With his struggles and the lack of a closers role, his value is almost at zero. The only reason I am talking about him is his ability to earn the closers role back. Keep a close eye on this situation as it unfolds.
