Newsbreakers

September 25, 2009

Edgar Renteria is slated to undergo season-ending elbow surgery on Saturday, according to the Mercury News.

Our View:

Renteria will have bone chips removed as part of the arthroscopic procedure. The 34-year-old vet ends the 2009 campaign with a .250 batting average over 124 games.

September 16, 2009

Edgar Renteria will return to the Giants' lineup for tonight's home game against the Rockies, according to the San Francisco Chronicle. He missed three games with a sprained AC joint and biceps tendinitis.

Our View:

Renteria was deemed fit to return to action, but is not hitting well enough right now to consider for fantasy duty.

September 15, 2009

According to the San Jose Mercury News, Edgar Renteria underwent an MRI on his ailing shoulder Tuesday, which revealed a sprained AC joint and biceps tendinitis.

Our View:

Renteria has been bothered by the injuries for some time now and believes that he can play through them down the stretch. He's out of the lineup for Tuesday's game, but it was a manager's decision and Bruce Bochy said that he will start Wednesday's game. He's slumping badly this month though, so if you've been hanging on to Renteria in fantasy leagues, now is the time to cut him loose.

September 14, 2009

Edgar Renteria is out of the Giants' lineup for tonight's home game against Colorado, according to the San Francisco Chronicle.

Our View:

Renteria is not dealing with an injury, and skipper Bruce Bochy merely wants to use Jaun Uribe, who has been hitting much better among the pair.

August 30, 2009

Edgar Renteria picked a heck of a time to hit his fourth homer of the season on Sunday. His go ahead grand slam in the seventh inning gave the Giants a 9-5 win and a spot atop the National League Wild Card standings.

Our View:

Renteria was 3-for-4 and picked up five RBI in the contest, matching his season high. He had driven in just three runs all month before Sunday's heroic outburst.

August 23, 2009

Edgar Renteria went 1-for-2 with a two-run homer off Ubaldo Jimenez in Sunday's 4-2 loss at Colorado.

Our View:

The Giants only mustered six hits in the game, and Renteria was their lone source of scoring. Renteria hit his third homer of 2009, with his previous shot coming way back on April 24 at Arizona.

August 14, 2009

Edgar Renteria, 2-for-3 on Friday, had half of the Giants' hits, as San Francisco got shutout 3-0 at Citi Field.

Our View:

Renteria, batting .256 with just two home runs and 39 RBI this season, has little, if any, fantasy value at this point.

July 29, 2009

According to the San Jose Mercury News, an MRI revealed a bone chip in Edgar Renteria's ailing elbow and he will require offseason surgery.

Our View:

Renteria will play out the rest of the season with the assistance of cortisone shots, but the injury limits him at the plate and in the field. With his production dropping off as a result of the injury, his fantasy value continues to suffer.

July 26, 2009

Edgar Renteria drove in only his third run of the month on Sunday, but it wasn't enough, as the Giants lost 4-2 in Denver.

Our View:

Renteria is far from the offensive force he once was, and has very limited value in non NL-only leagues.

July 25, 2009

According to the San Jose Mercury News, Edgar Renteria is back in the lineup for the Giants on Saturday.

Our View:

Renteria left Tuesday's game with a sore elbow, which has plagued him for months this season. A cortisone shot alleviated the pain and swelling, but hits have come at a premium for Edgar recently. He's hitting just .204 in July.

July 22, 2009

According to the San Jose Mercury News, Edgar Renteria left Tuesday night's game in the fourth inning due to a sore right elbow.

Our View:

Renteria received a cortisone shot after the game and told sources that he would miss at least the remainder of the series. He doesn't seem likely to land on the DL, but he could miss a handful of games. The elbow has bothered him for some time and has effected his production at the plate. Juan Uribe will take over the shortstop duties until Renteria is up to snuff.

July 18, 2009

Edgar Renteria went 2-for-3 with a pair of singles in tonight's 2-0 loss at Pittsburgh.

Our View:

The Giants only notched five hits in the shutout, and stranded 15 runners on base. Renteria managed to have a solid outing tonight, after only collecting one hit over his previous five games (19 at-bats).

June 8, 2009

Edgar Renteria went 2-for-4 with a pair of singles in Monday's 4-0 loss at Florida.

Our View:

The Giants only recorded three hits in the game. Renteria is yet to notch an RBI over six games this month, and is hitting .244 for the season. He is only worth employing in deeper NL-only leagues.

May 26, 2009

Edgar Renteria was 1-or-4 and drove in two runs in the Giants' 4-0 win over the Braves on Tuesday.

Our View:

Edgar has struggled this season with his .246 average, but has driven in 22 on the year. He's a decent option in NL-only leagues, but his days of fantasy stardom are long gone.

May 25, 2009

Edgar Renteria was 2-for-5 with a double and two RBI as the Giants defeated the Braves 8-2 on Monday.

Our View:

Renteria has just three hits since returning from a hamstring injury four games ago. The shortstop should gradually raise his average, and he is hitting in a friendly No. 2 spot in the Giants order. Keep an eye on him as he still carries a good enough bat to get red hot over the course of a month.

May 22, 2009

Edgar Renteria, who has missed this week with a sore hamstring, is back in the Giants lineup and hitting second for Friday night's game, according to the San Francisco Chronicle.

Our View:

Renteria has been good but not spectacular for the Giants this season. He is hitting .261 and has scored 16 runs.

May 15, 2009

According to the San Francisco Chronicle, Edgar Renteria will miss the Giants' weekend series against the Mets with a strained hamstring. The injury is not expected to land Renteria on the DL.

Our View:

Keep Renteria out of your lineup this weekend and probably early next week as he recovers. It is good news that he won't have to go on the DL, but his fantasy value is limited to NL-only with his play so far this season.

May 15, 2009

Edgar Renteria will have an MRI to determine the severity of his hamstring ailment, according to the San Francisco Chronicle.

Our View:

His hamstring is very sore, and skipper Bruce Bochy indicated that he will be on the shelf for a few days, if not longer. The MRI should decide if he needs to go on the DL.

April 28, 2009

Edgar Renteria was 2-for-4 with a double and two runs scored as the Giants beat the Dodgers 5-4 on Monday.

Our View:

After a slow start, Renteria has been pretty active over the last six games. He has turned his seven hits into seven runs, eight RBI, and two home runs. Renteria looks like he may become a valuable fantasy option at shortstop once again.

April 22, 2009

Edgar Renteria went 3-for-4 with a grand slam on his way to five RBI and two runs scored as the Giants beat the Padres 8-3 on Tuesday.

Our View:

Renteria was off to a terrible start in San Francisco, but apparently all he needed was a matchup with Jake Peavy. Will he suddenly take off? We doubt it, but he's better than the .200 average he brought into tonight's game.

April 15, 2009

The San Jose Mercury News is reporting that Edgar Renteria may be moved to the eighth spot in the order in the near future.

Our View:

Renteria has been struggling thus far in 2009, hitting only .160. This move would affect his fantasy value in a negative way, which is not good considering that it is already limited.

March 29, 2009

Edgar Renteria is dealing with tightness in his throwing elbow, according to the SF Chronicle.

Our View:

The ailment is minor, and the veteran shortstop may be able to play today against the Brewers.

March 10, 2009

Edgar Renteria went 1-for-3 with a double on Monday with two RBI against the Brewers.

Our View:

Renteria has upped his average to .269 after a slow start this spring, but the Giants need him to keep improving if they're going to get some bang for their buck.

March 6, 2009

Edgar Renteria had another rough day at the dish Friday, going 1-for-4 in the Giants' 5-4 loss to the Angels.

Our View:

A 13-year veteran, not much should be made of Renteria's early-spring troubles. He remains nothing more than a MI option in deep mixed leagues.

March 4, 2009

Edgar Renteria went 0-for-4 with a strikeout on Wednesday while stranding one runner. He also was a part of two double plays, starting one in the field and grounding into the other.

Our View:

Renteria's average is .250 so far this spring but he has been better defensively. He still has plenty of time to get his bat in order before the season begins.

February 25, 2009

Edgar Renteria went 1-for-3 with a double on Wednesday to begin his Cactus League career with the Giants.

Our View:

Renteria is coming off one of the worst years in his career in 2008, only batting .270 with 10 home runs and 55 RBI for the Tigers. His defense also took a big step back last season but he could be on the rebound after showing up to camp in much better shape.

February 9, 2009

Edgar Renteria arrived for a workout 15 pounds lighter than he played last year for the Tigers, according to the Associated Press.

Our View:

Renteria had a dramatic drop off in play last year both at the plate and in the field. Giants fans certainly have to be optimistic about a lighter version of their new shortstop. Fantasy owners should see what kind of spring he has before determining his fantasy value. We'll update you on his status throughout spring training.
