Newsbreakers
September 29, 2009
MLB.com reports that Cody Ross was able to swing a bat on Tuesday and is targeting this weekend as his return to the lineup.
Our View:
Ross has been out since last Saturday with a bruised wrist and had issues with swelling and movement, but it appears the wrist is improving. Owners in the final playoff round of head to head leagues would like to get Ross' bat back in the lineup for a few more games down the stretch. He's popped 24 homers and driven in 90 this season with the Marlins.
September 28, 2009
Cody Ross is out of tonight's lineup at Atlanta while dealing with a bruised left wrist, according to MLBblogs.com.
Our View:
The slugger is day-to-day, but it is possible he is done for 2009 with just a handful of games left on the slate. Brett Carroll will roam in right field in his absence.
September 27, 2009
According to the Miami Herald, the pain in Cody Ross' injured wrist has worsened and he may miss the remainder of the season.
Our View:
Ross' wrist was bandaged while he sat on the bench on Sunday, but he has problems with swelling and mobility and can't turn his hand over. The MRI revealed no break, but if it hurts too much to move it he's not going to be able to swing a bat. Consider him day-to-day, but those days could add up to the rest of the season.
September 26, 2009
Cody Ross left Saturday's game against the Mets in the fourth inning after getting hit on the left hand by a pitch.
Our View:
No report on the seriousness of the injury, but he should be considered day-to-day for now. Ross was replaced in center field by Cameron Maybin.
September 16, 2009
Cody Ross went 3-for-4 with two RBI on Wednesday, helping the Marlins beat the Cardinals 5-2 and take two out of three games in St. Louis.
Our View:
With 87 RBI and 16 games left, Ross has an outside chance at his first 100-RBI campaign if he can get hot down the stretch.
September 9, 2009
Cody Ross delivered the big blow on Wednesday night, jacking a three-run first inning home run, as the Marlins won 7-3 at Citi Field.
Our View:
The home run was Ross' first since August 8th, a span of 28 games. On the season, he is batting .267 with 21 homers and 79 RBI.
August 16, 2009
Cody Ross went 2-for-4 with an RBI in the second game of a doubleheader with the Rockies on Sunday. The 7-3 Rockies win resulted in a split.
Our View:
Ross went 4-for-5 with an RBI in the first game Sunday, giving him a 6-for-9, two-RBI performance for the day. Not bad production for one day of baseball.
August 14, 2009
According to the Palm Beach Post, Cody Ross left Thursday's game in the seventh inning due to tightness in his back.
Our View:
The Marlins don't feel the injury is serious and Ross is expected to be back in the lineup on Friday. The outfielder is hot right now and should be fine to keep in fantasy lineups for the weekend.
August 2, 2009
Cody Ross belted a pair of home runs against the Cubs on Sunday. The second was a walk-off shot against Chicago closer Kevin Gregg and gave the Marlins a 3-2 win.
Our View:
Ross now has 17 homers on the season and one would have to think that Sunday's second blast was the biggest. He only homered twice in the entire month of July, so matching that total two days into August bodes well for Ross and his owners.
July 30, 2009
Cody Ross went 1-for-4 with a solo homer off Javier Vazquez in tonight's 6-3 loss to Atlanta at home.
Our View:
Ross snapped a 21-game drought without a homer, and has 15 for the season. Hopefully fantasy owners won't have to wait long for his next dinger.
July 18, 2009
Cody Ross missed Saturday's game while battling the flu, according to the Miami Herald.
Our View:
He played through the illness Friday, but was held out tonight as he was not feeling better. The Marlins are hopeful he will return in a day or two.
July 7, 2009
Cody Ross had one of only four Marlins hits on Tuesday night, as Barry Zito flashed his old Cy Young form in 8.1 dominant innings, leading the Giants to a 3-0 victory.
Our View:
Ross has developed into a consistent power threat for the Marlins, and is worth a look as a third or fourth outfielder in most formats.
July 1, 2009
First, Cody Ross homered in the seventh inning of the Marlins game against the Nationals on Wednesday to tie it, then he singled in another run in the eighth to complete the Marlins come-from-behind 5-3 victory.
Our View:
The Marlins are now 9-0 against the Nationals in 2009, and have come from behind to win an astonishing seven straight times against their hapless division rivals.
June 24, 2009
Cody Ross carried the Marlins offensively in tonight's 5-2 win over the Orioles, as he went 3-for-4 with two RBI. He hit two doubles and a single.
Our View:
Ross ranks second on the Marlins behind Jorge Cantu (45) with 43 RBI. He also extended his hitting streak to five games, with three hits coming in each of his last two. Keep him active in fantasy leagues while he is swinging a hot stick.
June 21, 2009
Cody Ross went 1-for-4 with a solo homer off Brett Tomko in Sunday's 6-5 win over the Yankees at home.
Our View:
Ross collected his 12th homer of the season, and ranks second on the Marlins behind Dan Uggla (13). Ross has a homer in two of his last three games, and has five so far this month.
June 19, 2009
Cody Ross went 1-for-3 with a solo homer off Andy Pettitte in Friday's 5-1 loss to the Yankees at home.
Our View:
Ross is only hitting .265, but remains a nice source for power in fantasy leagues with 11 homers. He has four homers so far in June.
June 13, 2009
Cody Ross had a monster day on Saturday in the Marlins' 6-5 win over the Blue Jays. Ross went 3-for-4 with two doubles, a home run, two runs, and two RBI in the game.
Our View:
Nice day for Ross this afternoon. All three of his hits were for extra bases, and he played a large role in the Marlins' win. Ross has some power, and he could be an option in NL-only leagues. Don't expect the average to be great, but he can drive in runs.
June 12, 2009
Cody Ross went 1-for-4 with a grand slam off reliever Brandon League in Friday's 7-3 win at Toronto.
Our View:
Ross ended an eight-game skid without a homer, and now has nine for the season.
June 3, 2009
Cody Ross is not in the starting lineup for the Marlins on Wednesday, according to the Miami Herald. He is getting the night off and will be replaced by Alejandro De Aza in center field.
Our View:
Ross hit a grand slam and recorded five RBI on Tuesday. He has eight home runs and 33 RBI on the season. However, he has 42 strikeouts compared to only 11 walks. Expect him back in the lineup on Thursday.
June 2, 2009
Cody Ross led the Marlins in Tuesday's 10-1 win over the Brewers, as he went 2-for-5 with five RBI. He hit a single and a grand slam.
Our View:
Ross remains a solid source for power in NL-only leagues as he swatted his eighth homer.
May 27, 2009
Cody Ross was 3-for-4 with a homer, a pair of RBI and three runs scored in the Marlins' 6-2 win over the Phillies on Wednesday.
Our View:
Ross is starting to get hot at the plate. He has six hits in last two games and boosted his average from .239 to .263. The Marlins could use more contributions from him with Hanley Ramirez on the shelf.
May 26, 2009
Cody Ross went 3-for-4 with a double and a run scored in Tuesday's 5-3 loss to the Phillies.
Our View:
Ross is now hitting .252 with six homers and 26 RBI and is a good option in NL-only leagues. He's a decent play in mixed leagues if you need outfield help.
May 17, 2009
Cody Ross went 2-for-4 with four RBI and two runs scored in Sunday's 12-5 loss to the Dodgers.
Our View:
Ross is only hitting .225, but has been a good source for power in NL-only leagues with six home runs. He has a hit in three straight games, with two homers over the span.
May 15, 2009
Cody Ross hit a home run and drove in two in the Marlins' 6-4 loss to the Dodgers. Ross was 1-for-3 on the day.
Our View:
Ross is still hitting an abysmal .210, but he has shown the ability to hit for some power. His fantasy value is low even in NL-only leagues right now, so don't play him unless it is completely necessary.
May 2, 2009
Outfielder Cody Ross went 1-for-3 with a solo homer on Saturday. It was his fifth home run of the season.
Our View:
Ross has been cold lately, and he had gone 10 games without smacking a homer. He tends to be very streaky, and fantasy owners simply have to deal with it if they need his power.
April 26, 2009
Outfielder Cody Ross went 3-for-4 with a run in Sunday's loss to the Phillies. He also pitched a scoreless ninth inning, allowing one hit.
Our View:
Ross was just about the only Marlin to show up and play well on Sunday. NL-only owners can spend their Mondays lobbying to get this scoreless inning into their pitching stats.
April 22, 2009
Cody Ross went 2-for-4 in Wednesday's 7-4 loss at Pittsburgh. He hit a single and a double.
Our View:
Ross recorded his third multi-hit game of the season, and snapped a two-game skid without a hit.
April 19, 2009
Cody Ross went 3-for-5 with a home run, a double, and five RBI as the Marlins came back to beat the Nationals 7-4.
Our View:
Ross has homered in three of his last four games and has 10 RBI in that stretch. He is a streaky hitter and is clearly on fire at the moment.
April 17, 2009
Outfielder Cody Ross only went 1-for-5 on Friday night, but his one hit was a solo homer. He has gone yard in two straight games. Ross also struck out twice and left five men on base against the Nationals.
Our View:
This night is Ross in a nutshell. He has a lot of raw power, but he also strikes out a lot and isn't terribly reliable. If you can take the bad average, the homers will come.
April 16, 2009
Cody Ross snapped out of his slump in a big way in Thursday's 6-2 win over Atlanta. The outfielder finished 3-for-3 with a home run, four RBI, and a run scored.
Our View:
Ross had just three hits and one RBI entering the game, so those owners that were holding onto him still were certainly relieved to see today's performance. He will continue to struggle with his average, but he has serious power and is a fairly regular starter this season in Florida.
April 14, 2009
Cody Ross will ride the pine for Tuesday's game at Atlanta, according to the Miami Herald.
Our View:
Alfredo Amezaga will start in right field in his place. Ross is off to a poor start with just two hits over his first 22 at-bats, with five strikeouts.
March 20, 2009
Cody Ross went 2-for-2 with a pair of RBI in Friday's 8-6 win over Atlanta. He hit a single and a double, and drew one walk.
Our View:
Ross hit 22 homers in 2008, and should remain a viable source for power in 2009, especially with Josh Willingham out of the outfield mix.
March 16, 2009
Cody Ross has been scratched from today's lineup while dealing with a tight left calf, according to the Palm Beach Post.
Our View:
Ross looks to get regular at-bats in 2009 following the departure of Josh Willingham to Washington. He has solid power and would be worth a look in NL-only leagues if healthy.
March 8, 2009
Cody Ross was 1-for-2 with a pair of RBI Sunday in Florida's 9-8 win over St. Louis.
Our View:
Ross was an effective part of the Marlins' offense a season ago hitting 22 home runs with 73 RBI in only 461 AB. He figures to once again be a valuable, yet underrated, option in the outfield in NL-only leagues.
February 20, 2009
Cody Ross has left camp with the Marlins to attend to his wife Summer, who gave birth to a girl Thursday, according to FishStripes.com.
Our View:
Ross is expected to return to camp on Saturday. Ross is expected to start in right field this season, and should provide fantasy owners a solid source for homers, if willing to deal with his high strikeout-rate and hot-and-cold streaks.
January 20, 2009
Cody Ross avoided arbitration by agreeing to a one-year, $2.225 million deal on Tuesday, the Miami Herald reports.
Our View:
Ross is coming off a breakout season that included 22 homers and 73 RBI, and he is slated to start in right field this season. The power is real, but there's also a real good reason Cody didn't find an every-day gig until 2008. His bat tends to run very hot and very cold, and he carries risk for fantasy teams.
