The Sports Xchange reports that Miguel Tejada will likely have his first day out of the starting lineup Thursday in the final game of the Giants series. "I think we might be a go for tomorrow," manager Cecil Cooper said of giving Tejada a day off. "He's kind of relented (to), so to speak, a little arm-twisting. It's going to be big to do it because you can be worn out." (Updated 05/15/2008).

Fantasy Analysis
Tejada was drilled with pitches on both wrists over the weekend, so he could use some time off to recover. He'll be right back in the lineup Friday at Texas and remains a must-start shortstop in all leagues. He's a top-five option again in his move to a great home hitter's park and lineup. Keep him active. (Updated 05/15/2008).
