Ben Sheets To The DL

The Milwaukee Brewers placed SP Ben Sheets on the DL with a partial tendon tear in his right index finger.

I apologize for the delay, I worked late last night and didn't have time to update this story.

Fantasy Impact: The plan is for Sheets to rest for 2 weeks, and then begin trying to throw with a splint. I would write him off for fantasy purposes for the rest of the year, to be safe. Don't drop him as it's well worth placing him on the DL to see what comes of this injury. Construct your rotation like you wouldn't have him available, and treat anything he gives you over the rest of the year as an added bonus. His current timeframe is 4-6 weeks, but it would take a large stroke of luck to have the same Ben Sheets back in your rotation when that time is up.
