Valdez seeing lots of doctors: San Francisco RHP Merkin Valdez, on the disabled list since mid-May, is continuing to see specialists for his tender elbow. He saw Dr. Lewis Yocum, and he may next see Dr. James Andrews, and baseball people know trips to Andrews' office often are followed by surgical procedures. (Updated 07/11/2008).
Injury Report
Elbow - 15-day DL. Out until at least late July (Updated - 6/23/08)
Fantasy Analysis
Valdez is a former top prospect beset by injuries. He has a great arm but currently is nothing more than a middle reliever for the deepest of NL-only leagues that use true middle men when healthy and that doesn't appear to be happening any time soon. (Updated 07/11/2008).
