Astros SP Wandy Rodriquez (15-day DL, groin) could rejoin the rotation Wednesday against the Chicago Cubs. Rodriguez threw 60 pitches in a simulated game Tuesday with no problems, a step in his recovery from a strained left groin that put him on the disabled list April 20. He's scheduled to pitch another session Friday. (Updated 05/15/2008).
Injury Report
Groin - 15-day DL. Might return for May 21 start at Chicago Cubs (Updated - 5/15/08)
Fantasy Analysis
Rodriguez has the stuff to be an elite pitcher, but his numbers on the road make you want to throw up. Rodriguez is more of a low-end Fantasy SP in mixed leagues until he becomes a more consistent arm. He is still a risky start for Fantasy Week 8 (May 19-25) at this juncture. (Updated 05/15/2008).
