Injury Report
Jacob Degrom exited yesterday's start after throwing 4 no-hit innings. The power righty was experiencing wrist soreness throughout the start, the pain increased as he threw more and he did not want to alter his motion and risk hurting something else. An update should come in the next day or two but hopefully Degrom will be able to go out for his next start.
Corbin Burnes called his trainer out to the mound in yesterdays start after throwing 5 1/3 innings of 2 run baseball. The Brewers ace was bothered by a right pectoral strain which appears to be a very minor injury. There is a chance Burnes may not miss any starts but we will keep a close eye on the situation as the Brewers will probably be pretty cautious now that they are without Woodruff for an extended period of time.
Michael Harris ll is expected to take batting practice early this week. There was hopes he would return to playing this week but he needed a few extra days to get back into things. Taking batting practice is the final step in his rehab and is a great sign for fantasy managers. Expect him back this weekend or early next week.
Notable Performances
Patrick Wisdom went 3-5 with 2 HR's and and 4 RBI's in the Cubs 10-1 win over the A's. The 31 year old has been on an absolute tear as this is his 4th straight game with a homer. He has hit over 25 HR's the past two years but does not bring much other fantasy value to the table. He's rostered in only 8.9% of fantasy leagues if you want to ride the power wave but who knows how much longer is left.
Max Fried pitched well in his first outing back from a hamstring injury that had kept him out since opening day. The lefty threw 5 scoreless innings giving up 4 hits with 4 K's. He was on a pitch limit due to the extended absence but expect him to get fully ramped up in his starts to come. Having Fried back is a welcomed addition for both the Braves and fantasy owners.
Dane Dunning earned the win in the Rangers 4-0 victory over the Royals. The righty threw 4.1 innings while only giving up 1 hit after taking over for Jacob Degrom. The 28 year old has struck out 9 hitters and has yet to give up a run this year through 15.1 IP. For the time being, Dunning is strictly a reliever for the Rangers but he is SP and RP eligible in fantasy. This allows you to get some extra fantasy points by sticking him in a SP spot without getting credited with a start.
