Injury Report
No information available at this time (Updated 5/17/08).
Fantasy Analysis
Hennessey, 28, was 4-5 with a 3.42 ERA in 69 games with San Francisco in 2007, but never got untracked this season while going 1-1 with 23 earned runs and 38 hits allowed in 16 innings. He gave up four extra-base hits, including Nate McLouth's homer, in 2 1/3 innings during a 12-6 loss to Pittsburgh on Tuesday night in which his ERA climbed to 12.94. Hennessey is nothing more than a low-end Fantasy middle reliever for NL-only leagues when in the majors. (Updated 05/07/2008).

Advice
Hennessey has been dreadful in 11 relief outings for the Giants this season, going 1-1 with a 12.94 ERA. He'll likely get another chance in the majors at a later date, but has no fantasy value unless he can show consistency out of the bullpen.
