Florida Marlins closer Henry Owens has been placed on the disabled list with right rotator cuff tendonitis. One of this year's surprises will be out for a few weeks, and I believe this injury is just treated with rest. Unfortunately, this gives Marlins' manager Fredi Gonzalez the opportunity to invent a reason to go back to Jorge Julio as his closer. Given his comments earlier this week about wanting to see Julio back in this role, this is likely the scenario that will play out.
Fantasy Impact: Go ahead and put Owens on your DL, but pay close attention to what happens in his absence. I would not bother picking up Julio...let someone else drool over his save potential while you keep your ERA and WHIP nice and slim. Instead, pick up Taylor Tankersley and wait for Julio to explode like the volcano he is if you have an empty roster spot and feel like placing a "futures" bet.
