Just a Reminder: Activate Papi
David Ortiz will be activated for tomorrow’s game against the Yankees, and will resume his normal third spot in the lineup. Needless to say, you have to take him out of your DL spot tonight so…

Check out my article over at Fantasy Phenoms about the forearm strain of Aaron Harang , and how his production this season is starting to look a lot like 2004 - the last time he had an ligament injury in hie elbow.

The tumultuous season for Jorge Posada is seemingly about to get even more dire, as he was yet again placed on the 15-day DL with persistent symptoms in his right (throwing) shoulder. He was sidelined earlier in the season with rotator cuff tendonitis, but part of his symptoms were undoubtedly arising from a labral […]

Curt Schilling was awesome enough to post numerous arthroscopy photos of his right shoulder surgery over at his 38Pitches blog. He does a nice job explaining the procedure and what is going on in the pictures, in layman’s terms (hat tip to Dave Studeman of Hardball Times ).
The surgery was comprised of a labral […]
Weeks On Hot Seat? Brewers Sign Durham
Rickie Weeks better start hitting - and soon.
The Brewers just traded for Ray Durham , acquiring him for two minor league prospects (Steve Hammond and Darren Ford).
While Durham is not nearly the defensive second baseman that Weeks is, he is having a significantly better season from an offensive production standpoint.
Durham: .293/.385/.414; 23 doubles, 3 HR, […]
Starting Pitcher Report
Fantasy owners rejoice: Fausto Carmona ’s extended stay on the DL is nearing an end. He was able to toss 5 innings last night in a 7-2 win against the AA Erie Sea Wolves. Though he allowed 9 hits in those 5 innings, he was able to induce three double plays - a good […]
20Jul2008 | Disabled List Informer | 0 comments | ContinuedLow Back is Culprit with Percival’s Hammy
Troy Percival was activated from the DL today after being sidelined since July 2 with a strained left hamstring. Some interesting news has surfaced, however, (from Mark Lancaster at the Tampa Tribune) indicating that the cause of the recurring left hamstring pain is actually coming from a nerve-related issue in his low back.
In reference to […]
Time to Add Tulowitzki
I don’t care what type of league you are in, you simply have to add Troy Tulowitzki if he is out there floating on the free agent list. Given the absolute horrific depth at shortstop, there is nothing to lose by taking a flier on him. After all, this is a guy who had a […]

Hank Blalock has completed his recent rehab assignment without suffering a setback, and should be activated for today’s game against the Twins. Originally slated to return as a first baseman, Blalock’s situation has now changed due to power boost that Chris Davis has provided since his call-up. Davis will remain at first, while Blalock […]
18Jul2008 | Disabled List Informer | 0 comments | ContinuedDiagnosis: “Forearm Strain” (Maybe?)
We often hear the diagnosis "Forearm Strain" when referring to pitching arm injuries. What does this mean? A strain implies an injury to muscle or tendon (in this case, the forearm) - but not to a ligament. A sprain refers to an injury to a ligament or joint capsule. Both strains and sprains are, in […]

Portland, Maine, that is. Located about an hour and a half north of Boston directly on the Atlantic coast, the heart of Red Sox Nation certainly beats in this city of roughly 70,000 people.
When you grow up in Maine (like I did), you don’t have the luxury of seeing major rock bands, superstar athletes, or […]
Season-Enders?
Takashi Saito : Uh-oh. As expected, the closer for the Dodgers was diagnosed with ligament damage in his right elbow. He will be placed on the DL on Friday, and will miss the remainder of July and likely the greater part of August. The optimist in me would like to say that he can […]
