Maicer Izturis - 2B - Angels

Maicer Izturis finished 0-for-6 in Sunday's 13-inning loss to the Padres.

Izturis is batting just .244 with a .614 OPS in 27 games this season. He does have seven stolen bases, but the 31-year-old is not a sure bet for regular playing time and can remain ignored in most mixed fantasy leagues.

David Hernandez - R - Diamondbacks

David Hernandez has allowed one run run since April 30.

The Arizona setup man struggled out of the gate this season but seems to have settled in nicely. Hernandez now boasts a 2.37 ERA, 1.16 WHIP and 27/7 K/BB ratio through 19 innings of relief. He also has seven holds.

Jesse Litsch - R - Blue Jays

Jesse Litsch told Sportsnet's Barry Davis that his shoulder infection has become "career threatening."

The infection developed around Litsch's surgical wound in March and has only gotten worse despite efforts (including a second procedure) to correct it. He's on the 60-day disabled list and remains out indefinitely. The 27-year-old has a 4.16 ERA in 88 career appearances.

Garrett Jones - 1B - Pirates

Garrett Jones doubled in Sunday's loss to the Tigers.

Jones has six doubles, four home runs and 25 strikeouts in 95 plate appearances this season, and is sporting a rough .231/.253/.429 batting line. He has some pop still, but the 31-year-old first baseman and outfielder is a fringe fantasy option in standard mixed leagues.
May 21 - 10:50 AM
Alejandro De Aza - OF - White Sox

Alejandro De Aza went 2-for-5 as the White Sox finished off a sweep of the Cubs on Sunday.

De Aza is batting .288/.368/.425 with three home runs, eight steals and 13 RBI in 42 games this season. He makes for a fine third fantasy outfielder in mixed leagues.
May 21 - 10:31 AM
Kosuke Fukudome - OF - White Sox

Kosuke Fukudome is batting just .175/.286/.200 through 49 plate appearances this year for the White Sox.

Fukudome has no home runs, no stolen bases and just four RBI. The 35-year-old corner outfielder is far from fantasy relevant and may be in danger of losing his 25-man roster spot if the struggles continue.
May 21 - 10:17 AM
Mike Adams - R - Rangers

Mike Adams (chest) was available on Sunday.

Adams was diagnosed this past weekend with a respiratory infection, but he's been prescribed medication and will work through it. "I'm getting better," the 31-year-old setup man told reporters Sunday.

Austin Jackson - OF - Tigers

Austin Jackson (abdomen) is aiming to play in the Tigers' upcoming series against the Indians.

The three-game set runs from Tuesday through Thursday, and Jackson is hoping to appear in at least one of them. He's been sidelined since suffering a mild abdominal strain on a swing last Wednesday night. The 25-year-old center fielder is batting .331/.414/.544 with five home runs, six stolen bases, 17 RBI and 29 runs scored in 36 games this season for Detroit.
