The Boston Red Sox will place Curt Schilling on the DL with right shoulder discomfort.
This is the correct move here for a 40 year old pitcher. I'm glad to see that they'll give him at least 2 weeks of rest. He received a cortizone injection, so hopefully that will help out as well. His timetable will be determined by his bullpen sessions, but since the MRI didn't show any structural damage, he should be ready to come back shortly after he's eligible, if not right on the day (July 4th).
Fantasy Impact: Us owners have to be happy that we can put him on the DL immediately and go pick up someone to replace him, along with the fact they're being proactive and making sure he's 100% before taking the mound again. I just looked over the FA wire in the league I have Schilling in, and there's a big pile of turds out there. I honestly don't have a recommendation for a pitching replacement.
