Injury Report
No information available at this time (Updated 7/26/08).
Fantasy Analysis
The 26-year-old Newman split the 2008 season between the Rockies and Triple-A Colorado Springs. He had a 9.35 ERA in eight relief appearances in the majors and was 1-1 with a 2.45 ERA in 22 innings for the Sky Sox. Newman also appeared in two games for Colorado in 2007. He is nothing more than a low-end middle reliever for the deepest of NL-only leagues that use true middle men. (Updated 07/11/2008).
