Red Sox-Yankees resume their rivalry tonight fresh off a Boston sweep of the Angels. Before we get to the games, let’s see the Fantasy Headlines for Friday, May 7:
- Braves phenom Jason Heyward didn’t get the start last night after leaving Wednesday’s game early, but he had a pinch-hit single in the eighth to tie the game.
- Paul Konerko missed Thursday’s game with a sore neck, but manager Ozzie Guillen expects him to start tonight’s game.
- According to Mark Sheldon of MLB.com, “there is no telling yet if [Aroldis] Chapman will be with [the Reds]” during a June 4-6 series with the Nationals and, likely, Stephen Strasburg.
- Remember Andrew Miller? The Marlins’ former prospect threw a no-hitter at Triple-A.
- For those of you in keeper leagues, Carlos Lee is considering retirement after 2012.
- Continuous failure Brandon Wood made a subtle change to his stance before Thursday’s game against John Lackey and the Boston Red Sox. Wood widened his stance about four or five inches to improve his balance and promptly homered. Stay tuned.
- Rafael Furcal could return by late next week.
- Carlos Gomez remains out of the Brewers lineup and is set to get an MRI in Phoenix on his sore shoulder today.
- Andy Pettitte is day-to-day with elbow inflammation.
- Pittsburgh’s Ross Ohlendorf might get the start against Cincinnati on Monday, but no official word if he’s feeling ready yet.
- Giants shortstop Edgar Renteria returned Thursday after missing four games with a strained groin and promptly strained it again. A DL trip seems likely.
- Milton Bradley is a troubled man. The Mariners have placed the outfielder on the restricted list as he seeks counseling. In his place, the club called up Michael Saunders.
- Matt Chico is garnering a lot of consideration to make the start against Florida on Saturday in place of John Lannan. Chico missed nearly two years recovering from Tommy John surgery.
