Brad Lidge To The DL

The Houston Astros have placed closer Brad Lidge on the DL with a strained left oblique.

These injuries are tough to predict and have a large variance in recovery times, so it's impossible to say right now how long he'll be out.

Fantasy Impact: Ugh, what horrible timing for us Lidge owners. Wheeler will go back to closing, and it makes the situation a mess if he is lights out. Odds are he won't be given his track record this season, and Lidge will be a candidate for saves once he returns. Make sure to put him on your DL and hold onto him if at all possible.
