Alfonso Soriano of the Cubs was officially placed on the DL. He will be out for 6-8 weeks but he does hope he'll be back sooner.
Albert Pujols of the Cardinals will be gone for 3 weeks.
Victor Martinez of the Indians is out for 6-8 weeks after going through surgery on his elbow.
Josh Barfield of the Indians, who was just called up, was placed on the 15-Day DL.
With all these injuries, except Barfield, you are going to be in some trouble. These three big time players are all fantasy studs so how should you fill in these spots. Look at your current needs with respect to stats and pick one stat that you need help in. This will be your stat category where you should focus on with picking up someone to replace your DL player. With all these important players heading for the DL this is the time where your season will go down the drain or for your to tread water until reinforcements comes. Just focus on one category at a time and you should be able to keep afloat until these guys come back.

Huge DL Day

Random Notes
Josh Barfield of the Indians was called up and will be the regular starting 2nd baseman. AL-Only league owners should grab this guy because he will give you some decent stats and with AL-only leagues players are hard to come by that are full time players and who give positive returns.
D-Train, Dontrelle Willis, of the Tigers was terrible in his 2nd start starting rotation after returning from the DL. For owners who are hoping for D-Train of 2005 where he went 22-10, well keep dreaming. This pitcher has fallen and seems to be staying on the ground. Only keep him on your team if you want a high ERA and a last place finish in your fantasy teams.
Adrian Beltre of the Mariners is struggling and has dropped his average to .226 after an 0-5 night against the Blue Jays. He currently has 13HR's and is on pace for 20-25 but owners who have him as their 3rd baseman must be disappointed in his terrible average. Do not drop him because he does have value. If you have an extra spot on the bench maybe bench him for now and see if he can get out of the slump he currently sits in.
