Hicks has been out for nearly a month with a flexor injury. The length of his absence means he'll probably need more than one rehab outing, though the Cardinals have yet to specify exactly when he's expected to return.
Rotoworld:
| 06.20: Nick Anderson will visit with Dr. Keith Meister on Tuesday |
Rotowire:
The move was made retroactive to Saturday, so Moncada will be eligible to return next Tuesday, but it's not yet clear if he'll have the chance to do so. This is Moncada's second trip to the injured list, as he'd previously missed over a month with an oblique issue.

Cincinnati Reds – The Reds late-inning corps took another hit yesterday, as Alexis Diaz was placed on the IL with right biceps tendinitis. With Lucas Sims, Tony Santillan, and now Diaz all injured, we’ll slot converted starter Jeff Hoffman on to this hierarchy. The lefty is having the best season of his career (32.1 IP, 2.78 ERA, 1.28 WHIP, 34 Ks) though his control (17 BBs) leaves a lot to be desired.
Updated hierarchy: *Strickland | Hoffman | Kuhnel.

FAAB fights this morning in the ADL.
I'm this week's Swattie.
I prefer the scales to be entirely balanced. If I'm giving up $30 over the current year and the next 2, I want $30 back for myself (preferably in the current year if that's what I'm playing for).
There's no trade I hate more than when you've undersold your keepers.
Curtis Mead, 2B, Rays: Mead homered twice on Sunday for Double-A Montgomery. He also homered on Saturday. His recent hot streak has raised his slash line to .305/.395/.561. It’s also notable that Mead has been playing second base regularly, adding some position versatility for the first/third baseman.
The win probability felt like at best 10 percent to the 41,000 in the Rogers Centre when he stepped to the plate.
It didn't feel like 87 percent after he connected.

Question for the crowd. If you are in a keeper league, how do you determine fair value if you are trading for this year.
Sometimes it seems quite obvious -- I must have saves to win and X player is available.
********************
Other times though the trade wouldhelp but isn't an exact match.
My thinking is that this-years-added-value should be about 3/4 to equal to added-profit of players being traded for "next year" x the amount of years until they'd have to be released unless extended.
Player X at 24 this year adding 18 in value.
Player A at 6 for next two years adding 10 value for a total of 8 PROFIT.
Player B at 5 for next two years adding 11 value.for a total of 12 potential PROFIT.
Future trade value of A & B = 20 POTENTIAL PROFIT. So I'd want to be getting at least 15 to 20 of VALUE for this year.
I know he's still only 23, but does he still have a future as more than a swing man? (Not that he's not a great swingman).
A little comparison on pitching when you have won your last 3 starts over the last 35 years with matching season W/L records
2021 Julio Urias, 2001 Roger Clemens, and 1988 Davd Cone all went 20-3
2021 Urias
5 starts 2-1 3.90 ERA 6 IP/Start 4.2 Run Support(6.2 season)
2001 Clemens
9 starts 6-1 3.03 ERA 6.6 IP/Start 5.3 Run Support(5.7 season)
1988 Cone
8 starts 7-0 1.52 ERA 8.1 IP/Start 5.1 Run Support(4.6 Season)
Won 4 consecutive starts between May 16 and June 2 then threw 9 shutout his next start with no Win.

Nootbar's arrival gives the Cardinals an additional outfielder with Tyler O'Neill (hamstring) hitting the injured list.
