Injury Report
No information available at this time (Updated 5/20/08).
Fantasy Analysis
Volstad (3-1, 2.45) is expected to be called up this season. In fact, it could be a matter of starts before he is recalled, so take the flier now to get the jump on your league mates. There are far less talented minor league pitchers with worse numbers and little hope for a call-up that are owned in more than a 3 percent of CBSSports.com leagues Volstad in owned in. He might not be a Max Scherzer, Nick Adenhart or a Clayton Kershaw, but he is a nice consolation prize to the elite trio. (Updated 05/09/2008).
