Here is a look at the latest news and notes from around the diamond to help you set your fantasy baseball lineup for week 14.
American League:
The injury to Shin-Soo Choo in Cleveland opens up a spot in the outfield for Michael Brantley who was recalled from Triple-A over the weekend and should see the majority of time going forward in place of Choo.
Felix Doubront was recalled by the Boston Red Sox to replace the injured Clay Buchholz and will get the start Tuesday against the Tampa Bay Rays. It is likely just another spot start for Doubront with a short week after week 14.
Coco Crisp left the game early on Sunday for the Oakland A’s with a tight hamstring. Given how injury prone he is, he is really day-to-day almost every day of the week.
Juan Rivera missed his fifth straight game for the Los Angeles Angels and will likely be out several more games next week. The team called up veteran Paul McAnulty from Triple-A and gave him the start at designated hitter on Sunday.
National League:
Yovani Gallardo of the Milwaukee Brewers is in danger of missing his start next weekend against Pittsburgh after leaving his start Sunday in the third inning with a strained muscle in his side. There will not be an update on his condition until some time on Monday.
Shortstop Jose Reyes is expected to return to the New York Mets line up on Tuesday, but because he is still having trouble swinging left-handed, he might be a platoon type player for next week and only hit against left-handed starters.
Recent call up John Jay and Nick Stavinoha figure to see extended playing time in the outfield for St. Louis with Ryan Ludwick being placed on the disabled list. Jay got the start on Sunday and went 1-for-3 with a home run.
Aaron Cunningham should see some additional starts in the outfield for San Diego in place of Will Venable who was placed on the disabled list. Cunningham got the start in right field on Sunday and went 1-for-3 with two RBI.
