FOX Sports Starting Lineup Stories


  • Chase Utley (PHI - 2B) News: Chase Utley: Hits DL With Mild Oblique Strain Impact: The Phillies characterized the injury as a "very mild Grade 1" strain rather than the intercostal or rib cage injury the team had feared, indicating Utley's stay on the DL should be rather brief. Freddy Galvis figures to be the top candidate to assume most of the starts at second base in Utley's stead. (RotoWire | 5/23/2013 5:09:18 PM ET)
  • Hiroki Kuroda (NY-A - P) News: Hiroki Kuroda: Exits With Apparent Calf Injury Impact: Kuroda first sustained the injury in the second inning after his calf was at the receiving end of a Manny Machado liner. He was able to finish out the inning but noticed a decline in his command when he came out in the third inning, resulting in his removal from the game. Statistically the Yankees' best starter coming into the game, Kuroda finished with his worst line of the season, as he was charged with five runs on eight hits over 2.0 innings.

  • Rafael Betancourt (COL - P) News: Rafael Betancourt: (Groin) Avoids DL Impact: Betancourt made just two pitches before he was removed from Tuesday's game with the concern. The MRI revealed the true nature of the injury, which will require a brief rest to get past. While the issue may linger, it has not affected his performance this season, considering his 1.56 ERA, 1.096 WHIP, and 10 saves in 19 appearances. (RotoWire | 5/22/2013 11:17:08 AM ET)
  • Jaime Garcia (STL - P) News: Jaime Garcia: Will Need Shoulder Surgery Impact: It's not initially clear how much time Garcia will miss after undergoing the procedure, but he is facing a lengthy absence for the second straight season. With Garcia on the shelf for a while, John Gast could get an extended run in the Cardinals' rotation. (RotoWire | 5/22/2013 9:37:28 AM ET)
  • Kyle Lohse (MIL - P) News: Kyle Lohse: Will Not Make Next Start Impact: Both the nature and extent of the injury are unknown, but it will be Mike Fiers who starts Saturday, and not Lohse. Expect an update on Lohse's status as more details become available. (RotoWire | 5/22/2013 8:38:11 AM ET)
