About this episode
The episode discusses recent pitching injuries, player recoveries, and strategies for managing fantasy baseball teams amidst these challenges.

Brutal blow for fantasy managers to lose their first-round pick. a.What’s the plan if you have Skubal or your team? b.Is this a reminder of the risk of using a first-round pick on a pitcher, or well, everybody gets hurt? c.Pitching injuries throughout the ranks have been tough this season – Skubal, Crochett, and Brown. Arguably, three of the big four will or have already missed considerable time. i.Just a bad year or is the list of elbow and shoulder injuries getting worse? 2.Carlos Rodon returns on Sunday against the Brewers. He was good, during his rehab/spring training, but are you ready to start him right away? 16.0 IP, 16K, 3.38 ERA 3.You commented on Sunday that Emilo Pagan was one of the few closers who was secure. Well, not anymore, as he’s got a hamstring pull and will miss 4 to 8 weeks. a.You’ve been doing the Closer Report for years. Have you ever seen anything like this…
