Stephen Drew has been cleared for baseball activity; he could be ready to play on Monday.

The biggest takeaway from Lance Lynn’s start last night was how low his velocity was. Last night his fastball averaged 91 mph and touched 92.7 mph. Last year his fastball sat at 92.7 and touched as high as 96.9 mph; also, his fastball sat at 92.8 mph in his first start in 2012 so his fastball velocity was considerably down. Last year he relied on his plus fastball to setup his secondary offerings. On their own, the secondary stuff (curveball, changeup and slider) is average. His next start is a bad matchup, at home against the Reds. I’m going to bench him in my leagues so I can get another look at him.

If you read my fantasy guide you will have seen I did not believe in Chris Davis, but so far this season he’s been locked in and has looked really good.

Greg Holland got his first save of 2013 today, but it wasn’t pretty; after getting out the first two hitters, he lost control of his fastball. What proceeded next was he walked a hitter and have up a solid single to Gordon Beckham after falling behind 2-0.

With the news of Scott Kazmir going to the DL,Trevor Bauer will start on Saturday at Tampa Bay.

Hiroki Kuroda is expected to make his next start on Monday.

Brian Roberts left the game today with a knee injury. He hurt it trying to steal a base.

Ervin Santana, a deep mixed league sleeper, only gave up five hits in six innings. Unfortunately, three of those hits left the ballpark. All the home runs were hit on fastballs, two of which were exactly in the middle of the zone. Yesterday his fastball sat at 90 mph and maxed out at 91.9 mph. Last year his average fastball velocity was 91.7 mph and topped out at 95.6. Home runs were a big problem for Santana last year; if his fastball velocity doesn’t improve he may not be ownable in a deep mixed.
