Wells starts, but has awful time: Rockies SP Kip Wells, who was reinstated from the 60-day disabled list before the game, had a frightful first inning Monday against the Dodgers, throwing 40 pitches and getting just one out before being yanked by manager Clint Hurdle. The righty plodded off the field to a smattering of boos, having given up eight runs -- seven earned -- on seven hits and one walk. He recorded his only out via strikeout. (Updated 07/22/2008).

Fantasy Analysis
Wells has been out since late April with a blood clot in his right hand. It was just his second start this season, his first since the Rockies' season opener at St. Louis. He certainly didn't look good Monday, but the Rockies might give him a second chance considering he had to pitch at Coors Field. Don't worry about him in Fantasy right now, but his next start is scheduled for Sunday at Cincinnati. (Updated 07/22/2008).

Advice
Wells has missed 74 games since being place on the 60-day disabled list, retroactive to April 29, with a blood clot in his right hand. The 31-year-old had a blocked artery in his right arm in 2006, which had to be replaced by a vein taken from his leg. Wells is 1-1 with a 2.29 ERA in 10 games this season.
