This may be a fantasy baseball site, but forgive me for plugging my Boston Bruins who just took a 1-0 series lead against the Philadelphia Flyers.
Now, here are your Fantasy Headlines for Saturday, May 1:
- Injured D-Backs Conor Jackson and Kris Benson received good news yesterday. Jackson (hamstring) is eligible to come off the DL on Tuesday, but the team wants to take it easy with him since he missed almost all of 2009, so he’ll likely be back a few days later than that.
- Initially, Jair Jurrjens hoped he could make his next scheduled start after leaving his last one after just one inning. Now he hopes he’ll miss just one.
- Baltimore recalled one of 2009′s surprise starters, Brad Bergesen. To make room, they optioned Jim Johnson to Triple-A. Bergesen will start tonight’s game against Boston.
- Countering Bergesen, the Red Sox send out Daisuke Matsuzaka who can hopefully add some life to the struggling Sox rotation.
- The Chicago Cubs have tweaked their rotation, which you can read about here.
- Reds’ outfielder Chris Dickerson will have surgery to remove some bone from his right hand, and a timetable for his return will be set after the surgery is completed.
- Cleveland’s Kerry Wood is waiting for a rehab assignment.
- Detroit’s Magglio Ordonez has been experiencing some abdominal pain but will try to play through it.
- Cameron Maybin shares what it’s like to be called up early since it seems mega-prospect Mike Stanton could share the same fate.
- Lance Berkman missed Friday’s game after tweaking his left groin, but he was back for today’s afternoon game.
- Injured Mets 1B/OF Daniel Murphy got some action in a spring camp game.
- Jorge Posada is finally back after getting hit by a pitch earlier this week.
- Curtis Granderson left Saturday’s game with a strained left groin after rounding second base on a Brett Gardner single.
- Philadelphia will have to make a decision when Joe Blanton comes back, and it could cost Kyle Kendrick a rotation spot.
- J.A. Happ suffered a mild setback in his rehab.
- News out of San Francisco: Edgar Renteria left Friday night’s game with a groin injury, and Bengie Molina returned to his old stomping grounds as the Giants’ cleanup hitter.
- According to the Rangers, Frank Francisco is starting to show that closer’s mentality once again.
