LaRoche won't swing until Friday: According to The Sports Xchange notes: 1B Adam LaRoche's rehabilitation from a strained intercostal muscle in his right ribcage has been delayed, as he will now swing a bat Friday for the first time since being injured July 27 and landing on the 15-day disabled list. The Pirates originally hoped LaRoche would be able to begin swinging Wednesday, but he was still feeling some discomfort. (Updated 08/06/2008).
Injury Report
Ribcage - 15-day DL. Out until at least mid-August (Updated - 8/4/08)
Fantasy Analysis
LaRoche was hoping to return when first eligible Aug. 13, but this setback likely means he won't make that date now. Keep him stashed on DL spots in deeper leagues for Fantasy Week 20 (Aug. 11-17). (Updated 08/06/2008).
