Hear are the top three fantasy topics from last night that will change your league today.
Carlos Santana is not going to be helping anyone this season. After a horrific leg injury while blocking the plate in a game that for Cleveland was meaningless, you have to wonder if there will be any long term implications. The news this morning is positive, but wait till the MRI, but leagues without keepers should look elsewhere as the Indians have no reason to rush him back to the lineup.
Trevor Cahill threw another gem last night, but he still has a dismal 1.78 K/BB this season. The groundball rate is sparkling at 56.7%, but with only a 5.23 K/9 rate he is not going to be a fantasy star going forward. Keeper leagues should use this point to move him while his value will never be higher.
The Rays watched Jeremy Hellickson throw 7 solid innings, but stuck to the plan and optioned him back to Triple-A. He threw 6 strikeouts and only 2 walks against a patient Twins team. He has the minor league numbers and should be the next pitching prospect in a long line in Tampa Bay to step up and help that team and fantasy teams starting as early as 2011.
