Fantasy Baseball Update and Games for the Week
Monday, August 1st, 2011Good afternoon,
After a wild and crazy couple of days in the sports world, we have seen many players on the move. Many players will now have a new opportunity to turn in some type of relevance for the remainder of the year in fantasy baseball. Colby Rasmus, Derek Lee, Rafael Furcal, Ubaldo Jimenez, Hunter Pence and Michael Bourn are just a few of the players who will be able to start fresh and contribute to their new teams in their new roles.
While many of the players above will certainly be looking to help their fantasy owners this week, beware of the following players who may need to sit a few games before getting back in the lineup:
by David Lawson
1B, Paul Konerko/Chicago White Sox: After being hit by a pitch on his left calf during Sunday’s game,Paul Konerko was removed from the lineup and given the rest of the day off. After X-rays were taken,only a bruise was revealed. Consider the injury minor and expect to see Paully back in the White Sox lineup on Monday, at home, against the New York Yankees; a series in which Ozzie Guillen will most assuredly want Konerko to be a part of.
OF, Lance Berkman/St. Louis Cardinals: Berkman returned to the Cardinals lineup in a big way on Sunday night after missing the last four games with a sore shoulder; he went 1 for 4, hitting a three-run homer. It looks safe to roll him this week.
OF, Denard Span/Minnesota Twins: Out with a concussion since June 7th, Denard Span is finally ready to make his return with the Twins on Tuesday against the Angels. He was hitting .294 before he went down, so it will be interesting to see if he can pick up right where he left off with the hot bat, or if he will need a little time at first to regain his comfort level back up at the plate.
Remember all, Fantazzle’s Game of Gurus begins tonight and there is still a $1,000 prize waiting to be had — Compete against the Fantasy Baseball Insiders!
