Two Start Pitchers :: Week 10 by Scott Mickels Published: June 10, 2012, 8:54 am
With Week 10 comes another week of interleague play and unfortunately, not a lot of two-start pitchers to chose from. We do happen to have one quick Injury Watch however. For this we head to Boston where the Red Sox's Josh Beckett is recovering from a slight cramp in his hamstring. He felt the cramp during the 8th inning of his last start. As a result, he was pulled from the game and not able to go the 9th as a precaution. This is something Boston manager Bobby Valentine is calling it "non-problematic" and shouldn't really concern you heading into Week 10. There is the slight possibility of him re-aggravating the hamstring and possibly being pulled early from a start, but I wouldn't let that deter you from using him next week as you would normally. Consider Beckett an advisable option for Week 10.
Now, on to what we all came here for, the Two-Start Pitchers! Of course, if you have any pitching questions, or now any fantasy football questions, don't hesitate to email me with them at scottmickels@fantasyplaymakers.com. NOTE: These starts are not set in stone. They can change for any variety of reasons: managerial moves, injuries, rain-outs, etc. Please keep in mind they are probable.
