Injury Report
Neck - Questionable for July 20 start vs. Boston (Updated - 7/19/08)
Fantasy Analysis
LHP Joe Saunders will swap places with Garland and start Saturday instead. Saunders has not pitched since July 8 (except for one inning in the All-Star Game Tuesday). Garland remains a very useful AL-only pitcher when he's able to make his starts. (Updated 07/19/2008).
Garland lasted 2 2-3 innings and gave up 10 hits and seven runs in Friday's 9-2 loss to Oakland - his shortest outing since going the same distance against Seattle on Aug. 19, 2007. (Updated 07/12/2008)
Advice
