Jake Peavy

The Padres are indeed shopping Peavy and well this isn't the best thing for fantasy owners. If you look at his stats, away/home, you can see where he is better.

Since 2002.
Home
2.77ERA, 1.09WHIP, .219BAA, and 47HRs.

Away
3.80ERA, 1.30WHIP, .246BAA, and 81HRs.

For those owners who have him as a keeper, you better hope he gets traded to a friendly ballpark because we all know Petco is a nice place for pitchers.

DL/Injury Player Updates

Albert Pujols of the Cardinals was helped off the field in the 7th inning with a strained left calf. Earlier in the game, Pujols hit his 16th HR of the season. More information will be available tomorrow.

Jake Peavy of the Padres will return to the mound from the DL on Thursday.

Chad Cordero of the Nationals is 2-3 weeks ago from returning to the lineup and when he returns, according to the Nationals coach, he will be the once again close games. This will move Jon Rauch, who is doing a great job filling in for Cordero, back into a set-up role. Owners, if you have room, try and grab Chad Cordero from the wire and stash him on your bench.

Peavy on DL

Now with Peavy on the DL, owners need to think about when he will be back. Well, with information coming out of the Padres camp telling us that he will most likely START throwing in two weeks, owners should expect his return late June to early July.

If he starts to throw in two weeks that brings us to the second week of June. Then he will go on a strengthening program which will last another 1-2 weeks. Making a start or two in AAA for rehab will be another week. So there we have it, late June or early July.

Now what to do while he is out? Owners don't go out and try to trade for another pitcher, there is no one out there that will make up for Peavy's production, except for Johan Santana. Of course, you will have to throw your best bat in a trade for Santana. So, keep your bats on your roster and now you will need to scour the waiver wire and find pitchers who are hot and are pitching in favourable match ups. Look for pitchers pitching against weak teams like the Giants, Padres, and teams who are struggling to produce runs.

Peavy to DL

Jake Peavy of the Padres is headed to the 15-Day DL after completing a MRI on his ailing right elbow. Luckily for owners there is not structural damage and hopefully Peavy will bounce right back after a two week hiatus. Owners, you don't need me to tell you to just sit back and wait for his return.

Peavy is bidding for another Cy Young award posting a 4-3, 58.2IP, 20BB's, 60K's, and a 2.91ERA in nine starts.

Injury News

Roy Oswalt of the Astros has a little problem with his hip and had to leave his last start in the 7th inning. As of right now there is no news coming from Houston but he is scheduled to start on Thursday against the Phillies but he may have to miss it. Owners, keep an eye out on this situation. Do nothing until more information is made available.

Stud fantasy pitcher Jake Peavy will miss his next scheduled start due to pain in his elbow. He will go for an MRI on Monday and for owners just sit tight until after the MRI when more information is made available. For now, just hope he doesn't have to sit on the DL for a prolonged time.

Chone Figgins of the Angels, who is currently on the DL with a hamstring injury, is scheduled to return on Tuesday but the Angels have not made it clear if he will be activated. But news coming from Angels camp shows he will most likely be in the lineup by the end of the week. For owners, just hope this injury is completely healed because his entire fantasy value is tied up in him stealing bags.
