Fantasy Analysis
Rollins is set to come off the DL on Friday, relegating Bruntlett to a bench role. Consider him nothing more than a reserve infielder for the Phillies and the deepest of NL-only leagues. (Updated 05/08/2008).
Bruntlett went 2-for-3 with a RBI and a run in Thursday's 8-3 loss to Arizona. (Updated 05/09/2008)
Advice
Bruntlett, who is batting .250 with two home runs and 12 RBIs in 31 games this season, is 7-for-18 (.389) with a homer and eight RBIs in his last four games. He's likely to see his playing time decrease, however, as shortstop Jimmy Rollins is expected to come off the DL on Friday.
