Pittsburgh Pirates SP Wandy Rodriguez (hamstring) was able to make his scheduled start Friday, April 19, and he faced the minimum while throwing seven scoreless innings and allowing just one hit in the win. He struck out five batters and did not walk one. "When you see a guy twirling like he did today, there's not any team that's going to put up much against him," manager Clint Hurdle said. "It wasn't just the strikes but the location of the strikes. It was like he was throwing darts."

Pittsburgh Pirates SP Wandy Rodriguez (hamstring) is scheduled to make his next start Friday, April 19.

Fantasy Tip: Rodriguez was dealing with a minor hamstring issue, and he avoided a trip to the disabled list. Philip Irwin filled in for Rodriguez in the start that he missed. You may want to leave Rodriguez on your bench, though, with him facing the red-hot Atlanta Braves Friday.

Pittsburgh Pirates SP Wandy Rodriguez (hamstring) has been diagnosed with a left hamstring strain and is unlikely to be able to make his start Sunday, April 14.

Fantasy Tip: The Bucs haven't decided who will replace Rodriguez for a spot start, but we do know it won't be Gerrit Cole. The spot starter should only be considered in deep NL-only leagues if you're desperate.
