Toronto Blue Jays starter Roy Halladay has been placed on the disabled list with acute appendicitis. Heh, right after I just got done posting about him. The Blue Jays say that he'll miss about a month, and this is obviously bad news for all his owners who were likely counting on him to be their staff ace this year. The concerns about his forearm remain, and given the Blue Jays flatout lied about B.J. Ryan's injury earlier this year by saying it was a back problem instead of an elbow problem, you have to wonder if they're playing games again here. If it's truly appendicitis, he should be back in 3-4 weeks and be fine.
Fantasy Impact: What can I say? As hard as we try, we can't replace an ace. You'll have to check your waiver wire and see what's out there. Or, you can do something I started doing in my league where my rotation isn't deep and use spot starters. The key there is to factor in where he's pitching, the offense he's pitching against, the offense behind him, and the opposing pitcher. Use common sense and rankings, and you'll likely turn out a few gem starts in there somewhere. I'll post any additional news regarding his situation.
