It’s a little later in the day, but I wanted to get in some of Wednesday’s early action. Here are your Fantasy Headlines for Cinco de Mayo:
- Injured Diamondback Conor Jackson (hamstring) is set to begin a rehab stint on Wednesday and he could be back as early as this weekend.
- Atlanta starter Jair Jurrjens was hopeful he would start this Saturday, but now that’s doubtful.
- Jacoby Ellsbury (fractured ribs) took batting practice yesterday and could return in the near future.
- Cincinnati’s Scott Rolen is getting a scheduled off-day tonight.
- Brad Hawpe (quadriceps) is beginning a rehab assignment and could be back for Monday’s game while Jason Hammel (groin) will pitch in a Triple-A game on Friday, perhaps his only rehab appearance.
- Johnny Damon left today’s game in the fourth inning with right calf spasms and is listed as day-to-day.
- Perennial disappointment Alex Gordon will play left field in the minors, so maybe he has a future there.
- Vin Mazzaro is heading to the minors to make room for Henry Rodriguez in Oakland.
- Philadelphia’s J.A. Happ isn’t expect back before June and Ryan Madson could miss up to eight weeks.
- San Diego starter Chris Young is dealing with a sore shoulder.
- Derek Holland is turning heads with Texas’ Triple-A team.
