Well sports fans, after a nice stretch of games with a little thing called hits. The fun is over and on Saturday there was a No-Hitter. This time from the unlikeliest of sources, Tyler Gilbert of the Arizona Diamondbacks. The one-time electrician and first-time starter on Saturday made history against the Padres, the story is undoubtedly worth checking out. So, From new to old we go. Chris Sale also made his first start in two years against the Orioles and it was a promising start. So he should be rostered in all leagues. Lastly, we were treated to the Field of Dreams game between the White Sox and Yankees. The game most certainly did not disappoint, ending with a walk-off home run by Tim Anderson straight into the cornfields. It was truly a movie-made moment.
Onto the injury news of the week. Starting with Julio Urias being placed on the 10 day IL with a calf contusion. Those waiting on Luis Severino will have to wait longer as he suffered what seems like another setback, claiming “I didn’t feel right” before his scheduled rehab start. Michael Pineda was again placed on the IL with an oblique strain. I expect him to be out the rest of the year. Last but not least Huascar Ynoa of the Braves is scheduled to start Tuesday after missing most of the season. He’s worth rostering if you have a spot open, considering the way he pitched early in the year. That’s the injury news so let’s check out the rankings for this week’s two-start pitchers.
Please, blog, may I have some more?
