Phillies | Roy Halladay needs three months to recover

Fri, 17 May 2013 15:54:35 -0700

Philadelphia Phillies SP Roy Halladay (shoulder) will need three months to recover after undergoing shoulder surgery this week. Dr. Neal ElAttrache said the surgery "identified what we anticipated," so there were no surprises. However, Dr. Michael Ciccotti was hesitant to say that Halladay would come back this season. "There are a lot of ifs between now and then," Ciccotti said of Halladay's return. "Does he get his motion back? Does he feel strong again? How is he when he is throwing a ball? There are a lot of things between now and then that might prevent that from happening. But we remain cautiously optimistic about it." Halladay's bursa sac, which was removed during surgery, should grow back naturally and shouldn't be a problem in the future. If he doesn't have any setbacks, he could be throwing in six to eight weeks.

Fantasy Tip: Halladay will be out for an extended period of time, but there are no guarantees he'll come back this year, let alone be effective. That's a big gamble to take if you're willing to hang onto him. The more shallow the league, the less incentive you have to hang onto hope.

Phillies | Carlos Zambrano, John Lannan could enter rotation

Fri, 17 May 2013 15:46:57 -0700

Philadelphia Phillies SP Carlos Zambrano will pitch two innings at extended spring training Saturday, May 18, and pitch every five days thereafter. SP John Lannan (knee) will throw a bullpen session early next week and is "closer, but he's not close" to coming back.

Fantasy Tip: Both Zambrano and Lannan could become options to take Roy Halladay's (shoulder) spot in the rotation with him out indefinitely. Both hurlers are dart throws in NL-only leagues if you're desperate.

Phillies | B.J. Rosenberg recalled

Fri, 17 May 2013 12:53:57 -0700

Phillies | Roy Halladay has surgery

Thu, 16 May 2013 11:37:07 -0700

Philadelphia Phillies SP Roy Halladay (shoulder) underwent arthroscopic surgery and a debridement of his labrum and rotator cuff Wednesday, May 15, and he could start a throwing program in six to eight weeks. Halladay also had his inflamed bursa sac removed. He's likely to be out at least until after the All-Star break. Halladay is 2-4 with an 8.65 ERA in seven starts this year.

Fantasy Tip: Halladay can probably be dropped in shallow mixed leagues. In deeper formats, though, it's at least worth considering whether you'll leave him on a DL spot for later in the season. There is a slight chance that this surgery can fix some of the mechanical issues he was dealing with and make him effective later this year. If you're willing to wait and find out, tuck him away.

Phillies | Mike Adams still bothered by back

Wed, 15 May 2013 11:39:15 -0700

Philadelphia Phillies RP Mike Adams (back) said he's still dealing with back problems Wednesday, May 15, and he was unavailable to throw Tuesday, May 14, and said his back felt "the same" Wednesday. He began having back spasms Sunday, May 12. "I'm playing it day by day and seeing how it progresses," Adams said. He's hoping he'll be ready to pitch this weekend.

Fantasy Tip: The Phils took a risk signing Adams to a hefty contract in the offseason after he underwent surgery to fix Thoracic Outlet Syndrome in his shoulder. Adams hasn't been the same since, and he hasn't thrown in five days. He's not nearly as effective as he used to be as a setup man with the San Diego Padres, and he's won't be challenging Jonathan Papelbon any time soon for ninth-inning duties.

Phillies | Carlos Zambrano promised nothing

Wed, 15 May 2013 09:24:30 -0700

Updating a previous report, Philadelphia Phillies SP Carlos Zambrano received no guarantees about an opportunity to pitch for the parent club. The right-hander is headed to extended spring training. He has the opportunity to opt out of his contract on July 1.

Fantasy Tip: Big Z failed to impress with his change of scenery in 2012, as a member of the Miami Marlins, and pitched only 3 2/3 frames for Venezuela in the WBC. There's not much reason to believe that he'll capitalize on this one. Those in NL-only leagues who are desperate may want to tuck him away.

Phillies | Ryan Howard slumping

Sun, 12 May 2013 09:32:16 -0700

Philadelphia Phillies 1B Ryan Howard went 0-for-5 with four strikeouts against the Arizona Diamondbacks Saturday, May 11. He is 0-for-14 with nine strikeouts since homering in his final at-bat against the San Francisco Giants Tuesday, May 7, and has seen his average fall from .320 to .252 over that stretch.

Phillies | Justin De Fratus makes mechanical adjustment

Sat, 11 May 2013 11:06:00 -0700

Philadelphia Phillies RP Justin De Fratus said he experienced a decrease in velocity during spring training because he was working on a mechanical adjustment designed to speed up his delivery to home plate with runners on base. "I got too worked up about that instead of working on it during my side sessions and then letting it filter in on its own," De Fratus said. "You practice things enough it's going to take over. When it came time for the game I should have been more focused on the hitters and getting them out. Not just getting them out either. You pitch to dominate and that's not the mentality that I had. When you're capable of throwing the ball in the mid-90s and then in spring training you're in the high 80s, that could be the result of worrying about other things as opposed to getting guys out." De Fratus was 3-0 with a 1.89 ERA in 13 games with Triple-A Lehigh Valley this season before being recalled.

Phillies | Tyler Cloyd throws quality start, gets optioned to minors

Sat, 11 May 2013 09:59:31 -0700

Philadelphia Phillies SP Tyler Cloyd allowed two runs on two hits over 6 1/3 innings in a no-decision against the Arizona Diamondbacks Friday, May 10, with three walks and four strikeouts. After the game, he was optioned to Triple-A Lehigh Valley. In a corresponding move, RP Justin De Fratus was recalled from Lehigh Valley.

Fantasy Tip: Because of several off days on the schedule, the Phillies will not need a fifth starter again until May 21, so the decision was made to add an extra bullpen arm for the time being. Cloyd would have been demoted regardless of how well he pitched Friday, but he is expected to return to the majors as soon as the Phils need another starter.

Phillies | Joe Savery optioned

Fri, 10 May 2013 10:08:30 -0700

The Philadelphia Phillies optioned SP Joe Savery to Triple-A Lehigh Valley Thursday, May 9, to make room on the 25-man roster for SP Tyler Cloyd, who will make the start against the Arizona Diamondbacks Friday, May 10.

Phillies | Roy Halladay to have surgery Wednesday

Thu, 09 May 2013 18:46:31 -0700

Philadelphia Phillies SP Roy Halladay (shoulder) is scheduled to have shoulder surgery Wednesday, May 15, in Los Angeles. The surgery is scheduled to repair a bone spur in his shoulder, a partial tear in his rotator cuff and some fraying in his labrum. Halladay believes he can return in three months, but a timetable likely will not be made until the damage in his shoulder is known.

Fantasy Tip: Even if Halladay is able to pitch again this season, it likely will not be until July or August based on his three-month timetable. Halladay could be stashed on the disabled list in hopes he can come back as an improved pitcher after the surgery.
