Roto Assist

Erik Bedard- It is rumored that barring any setbacks, bedard may be able to make his season debut by July 6th.  It would require Bedard making a start in the AFL and then move on to Triple-A Tacoma for one start.  That would put him in line to start July 6th against KC.

J.D. Drew-  While the Red Sox maintain that Drew will not need a stint on the DL for his hamstring injury, it still remains a possibility.  Drew always seems to be one of those players that is overrated by some managers and underrated by other managers.  I say take him for what he is worth.  Play him when he is hot and sit him when he is cold.

Víctor Martínez- After being involved in a collision during a play at the plate Wednesday, Martinez is out of the lineup Thursday.  Jason Varitek will start in his place.  Not sure if an injury is coming into play here but we will keep you posted as more info becomes available.

Josh Hamilton- He missed the game Wednesday due to a tight hamstring but should be back in the lineup today.  Hamstring injuries can linger and it would be a shame to see Hamilton lose an extended amount of time due to lack of adequate rest.  On the other hand, he may be able to play through it.

Yovani Gallardo- 12 Ks and 0 BB while tossing a complete game shutout.  He only gave up 5 hits to the Twinkies on Thursday after carrying a no-hitter into the 6th inning.  Over his last 5 starts, Gallardo has a 42:11 K:BB ratio over 35 IP to go along with a 1.54 ERA in that time period.
