Injury Alerts

Albert Pujols is out for 3 weeks with a strained calf.  Get on the wire and see if Jorge Cantu is still available.  I doubt it, since the guy hit 2 bombs today.  If that’s the case, go ahead and pickup Ryan Garko or Ty Wigginton.  You’ll be pleasantly surprised.

Alfonso Soriano is out for 6 weeks plus with a fractured hand.  I wouldn’t count on Soriano being back to normal for at least 8 weeks.  Luke Scott or Lastings Milledge would be adequate fill-ins for a couple categories.

JJ Putz seemed to have injured himself today.  Pick up Brandon Morrow quickly!

Another day, another injury for Victor Martinez, who left today with an injured elbow.  There’s not much help on the waiver wire catcher wise.  Swapping guys out on a routine basis might be your best bet.
