Injury Report
Rib - 15-day DL. Out until at least early July (Updated - 5/1/08)
Fantasy Analysis
Hughes has a stress fracture in one of his ribs, and the right-hander isn't expected back before July. Hughes has been a top prospect for years and should develop into a nice option for the Yankees and Fantasy owners. Whether it is in 2008 is still to be debated. Keep him reserved in all Fantasy leagues until further notice. (Updated 05/07/2008).
