Royals C John Buck was granted three days of bereavement leave because of health concerns for his wife, Brooke, after she gave birth to twins. Cooper and Brody were born 12 weeks prematurely Thursday evening, and Buck did not accompany the Royals to Miami for their weekend series against the Marlins. The Royals recalled catcher Matt Tupman from Triple-A Omaha to fill the roster spot. (Updated 05/16/2008).
Injury Report
Bereavement - Out until at least May 19-22 series at Boston (Updated - 5/16/08)
Fantasy Analysis
Baseball takes a back seat to issues like Buck's, and so does Fantasy. The good news is Buck looks like a safe start for Fantasy Week 8 (May 19-25), but his inconsistency at the plate makes him no better than a No. 2 Fantasy C. (Updated 05/16/2008).
