Fantasy Baseball Wrap-Up: Week 10

In the new look of the Wrap-Up, I will highlight the hot and cold players at each position. Why hear about how good the stud players are already doing when you can find out how well the widely available players are performing on the diamond? As always, let’s start with the list of key injuries.

Injuries

Daisuke Matsuzaka (SP), Boston Red Sox

Dice-K is back in familiar territory as he was placed on the DL due to a right forearm strain.

Aramis Ramirez (3B), Chicago Cubs

It’s not like he was having a good season anyway. Ramirez is on the DL with a right thumb contusion after limping his way to a stellar .168, 5 HR, 22 RBI line for the season.

Rich Harden (SP), Texas Rangers

The bigger they are, the Harden they fall. Get it? Well, Harden fell, well…hard, as he made his way to the disabled list with a Gluteal strain.
