00:00let's go through the injuries in fantasy baseball want to make sure that if you have any of these

00:04players got to check very specifically with this twin situation because in case you missed it

00:09earlier in the week George as you know two twins collided with each other they're playing great

00:14baseball they've been a focus here on this show 12 games in a row but Buxton and Correa both in

00:19concussion protocol Correa probably out longer than Buxton at least for the time being we also

00:24have Tanner Houck for the Red Sox placed on the injured list 15 day right forearm tightness so you

00:29know what that could mean we hope not but let's just get real uh that's usually you know what it

00:34leads to Jose Quintana of the Brewers also placed on the injured list uh Bryce Miller the same and

00:41then of course the key name that we found out early in the week was not going to pitch this week was

00:46Roki Sasaki of the Dodgers and it's just so insane George that the Dodgers have probably had more

00:52pitching injuries than anybody in baseball but then you you take a look at their box score if you're not

00:56watching the game and you got some guys you've literally never heard of throwing four or five

01:00innings at a time either in the middle of the game or at the beginning of the game you know the injury

01:05stinks for fantasy and especially at like these auction leagues where Sasaki was going for like 25 30

01:09bucks but for the Dodgers I just think the ball just keeps rolling for them it's just like does I

01:14mean it does matter let me not say it doesn't but all things being equal this is a factory of

01:21of development they just call the next guy up I mean it's uh it's last year all over again right

01:26uh they're starting rotation Yamamoto, Dustin May, Gonsolin, Knack, and Sauer all right I know

01:32Kershaw is going today uh so he'll replace uh I guess Sauer there so uh but it's amazing I mean

01:37all the injuries and none of the injuries are close to returning right the Snell he had a little bit of

01:41setback there so we'll see Glasnow maybe by the end of the month he just started to throw now we'll see

01:45what Kershaw can even bring you and Sasaki just went on here but you know Dodgers they you know

01:50listen they spent a gazillion dollars they have uh so many starting pitch they're going to be just

01:54fine here they're not gonna win the 110 games where everybody was predicting for them or maybe

01:57make a run at the Seattle Mariners in their record but uh you know it is what it is with the Dodgers

02:02there those last two names on the list are both on my team my home team by the way uh Miller and Sasaki

02:07I gotta tell you Craig Sasaki I was it's a weekly league I was probably releasing him this weekend anyway

02:13you know so I was going to move on uh I was about done there's just he's not wasn't pitching well fine

02:18time to move on putting him on the I.L. at least now I got to keep him for another couple of weeks

02:22but odds are when he comes back I don't think I'm taking him back anyway he's probably I'm probably

02:27gonna move on Bryce Miller's probably one of my biggest disappointments this year I thought he was

02:31going to be uh maybe a uh little clandestine Cy Young uh award candidate didn't work out he wasn't

02:37pitching well before the injury maybe the injury is the reason why here and as you said here

02:41Correa is in concussion program Buxton has cleared concussion program so there's a concussion protocol

02:46so the chance he could play today we'll see here that was a nasty collision the other day

02:50as Buxton was coming in to catch a pop-up Correa was going out to catch it uh

02:55Buxton called it Correa heard him but it was too late Correa couldn't clear in time
