Out for The Season

Jake Westbrook of the Indians will have surgery on his right elbow which will cause him to miss the rest of the season. For fantasy owners, this isn't a big blow but it does hurt since he was your 3rd starter in most fantasy lineups. For AL-only owners, this is a big blow because of the scarcity of quality players in this kind of format. Obviously, he should be dropped.

Jeremy Bonderman of the Tigers will most likely miss the rest of the season due to a medical procedure to due with a blood clot. Bonderman went under the knife after the removal of the blood clot and into an angioplasty. There is no time schedule for his return and owners should just drop him from your lineups unless you have a DL spot. Keep him in the DL spot until more news surfaces or if someone else on your team, knock on wood, gets injured.

DL Info

Jake Westbrook of the Indians is headed for the DL with inflammation in his right elbow. Owners should drop and cut this guy because he's not going to do anything for your team. Go out and grab a bat or a hot starter.

Ryan Zimmerman of the Nationals is on the 15-Day DL with a small tear in his left shoulder. After having strong years in 06/07 Zimmerman was expected to carry a heavy load in a poor lineup and produce .275/22HR's/100RBI's for owners but instead has come out of the gates this slowly and he now find himself on the DL. Owners, keep him on your team unless you can find a way to add him as a sweetener in a deal.

Posada of the Yankees is expected to return on Thursday. This is great news for owners!
