September 26, 2009
Luke Scott went 3-for-5 with a homer and three RBI in a 9-8 loss to the Indians on Saturday night.
Our View:

Our View:
Scott couldn't do it all by himself today, but he continued his surprising 2009 campaign with another home run. Scott has been a solid fantasy play all season, and he should continue to be so for the next few weeks.
September 18, 2009
Luke Scott went 1-for-4 with a solo homer off Clay Buchholz in Friday's 3-1 loss to the Red Sox at Camden Yards.

September 1, 2009
Luke Scott was productive in tonight's 9-6 loss to the Yankees at Camden Yards, as he went 1-for-4 with a three-run homer off A.J. Burnett.

August 14, 2009
Luke Scott has been scratched from tonight's lineup against the Angels due to flu-like symptoms, according to MASN Sports.
Our View:
He is taking antibiotics and should return to the diamond soon. Nolan Reimold will serve in the DH role, with Felix Pie roaming in left field.
August 10, 2009
Luke Scott went 1-for-4 with a solo homer off Jeff Gray in tonight's 9-1 loss to the Athletics at Camden Yards.

August 3, 2009
Luke Scott was productive in tonight's 6-5 loss at Detroit, as he went 1-for-3 with a double and two RBI.
Our View:
Scott has a five-game hitting streak, and snapped a 10-game drought without any RBI tonight. He is hitting better after struggling through July with a dismal .213 batting average.
July 11, 2009
Luke Scott went 1-for-5 with a solo homer off Ricky Romero in tonight's 4-3 win over the Jays at Camden Yards.
Our View:
Scott hit his fourth homer of July, and leads the Orioles with 18. He extended his hitting streak to 11 games tonight as well.
July 10, 2009
Luke Scott went 2-for-4 with a pair of singles in tonight's 2-0 loss to Toronto at Camden Yards.

July 8, 2009
Luke Scott had a huge night Tuesday, going 3-for-4 with seven RBIs as the Orioles pounded the Mariners 12-4 in Seattle.
Our View:
Scott had been slumping of late, but is still a great option at second or third outfielder in most formats, and should be owned in every league.
July 2, 2009
Luke Scott went 1-for-4 with a solo homer off John Lackey in tonight's 5-2 loss at the Angels.
Our View:
Scott hit a home run in back-to-back games, and leads the Orioles with 16. He should remain a solid source for power in fantasy leagues.
July 1, 2009
Luke Scott homered for the first time since June 11 on Wednesday, but the Orioles fell 6-5 in 11 innings to the Red Sox.
Our View:
Scott was gaining steam toward becoming a viable outfield fantasy option early last month, but has driven in just five runs in his last 15 games. He is at best a fringe option in deeper mixed and AL-only leagues.
June 11, 2009
Luke Scott went 1-for-4 with a two-run homer off Garrett Olson in Thursday's 6-3 loss to the Mariners at Camden Yards.
Our View:
Scott ended a four-game skid without an RBI, and notched his team-leading 14th homer. Keep him active in fantasy leagues, namely as a source for power.
June 5, 2009
Luke Scott was productive in Friday's 9-1 loss at Oakland, as he went 1-for-3 with a solo homer.
Our View:
Scott has hit a homer in back-to-back games, and leads the Orioles with 13. He also collected an RBI in three straight games, and should remain active in fantasy lineups while he is hot.
June 4, 2009
Luke Scott stayed hot on Wednesday even though the Orioles fell 3-2 to the Mariners. He finished 2-for-4 with a home run, a double, and both Oriole RBI.
Our View:
Scott was recently named AL Player of the Week, as he hit six home runs and drove in 14 runs in a five game stretch. If he's available, he's probably worth the risk. He is hitting .323 with 12 home runs on the season.
June 1, 2009
Luke Scott has been named the American League player of the week for the week ending May 31. In five games, Scott belted six home runs, drove in 14 and batted .444 with eight hits in 18 at-bats.
Our View:
Scott probably won't have many more weeks in 2009 like he did last week, but he is worth a flier if you're in need of outfield depth.
May 29, 2009
Luke Scott smacked two homers on Friday night. He crushed a grand slam and a solo shot off of Dontrelle Willis and ended up 3-for-3 on the day in the Orioles' 7-2 win.
Our View:
Scott now has four homers in his last two games and has been raking the ball since coming off the DL. The last two days he is 5-for-7 with the four homers and nine RBI. He looks to be blossoming into a decent fantasy outfield option. Hopefully you had him in the last two games.
May 28, 2009
Luke Scott had a huge night on Thursday for the Orioles as they beat the Tigers 5-1. Scott went 2-for-4 with two home runs, two runs scored, and four RBI.
Our View:
Scott has come off the DL and pounded the ball, and he now has three homers and seven RBI in his last two games. You shouldn't expect this kind of production to continue, but Scott is starting to look like a decent fantasy option.
May 27, 2009
Luke Scott had a huge day at the plate on Wednesday as the Orioles beat the Blue Jays 12-10 in 11 innings. Scott went 2-for-4 with a home run, two runs scored, and three RBI.
Our View:
Nice day for Scott in his return to the lineup today, as he was activated before the start of the game from the DL. Scott is hitting .311 on the year, and should be owned in all AL-only leagues and could be worth a look in deep mixed leagues.
May 27, 2009
Luke Scott has been activated from the 15-day DL following his recovery from a strained left shoulder, according to the Baltimore Sun.
Our View:
Scott should resume his role as the Orioles' DH. He was hitting .303 with five homers and 15 RBI over 29 games before going down, and should be fine to pencil back into lineups in AL-only and deeper mixed leagues.
May 23, 2009
Luke Scott did not swing a bat Friday while nursing his strained left shoulder, but he is expected to hit today, according to the Baltimore Sun.
Our View:
If he can hit without any issues, he could be sent on a short rehab assignment. Scott is eligible to come off the 15-day DL May 26.
May 20, 2009
According to MASNsports.com, Luke Scott will be ready to come off the DL on May 26 when he is eligible. Scott is on the DL with a sore shoulder.
Our View:
Scott has been ok so far this season for the Orioles, but chances are you probably found someone just as good or better when he was out. His fantasy value is just average, but if he is on your team he will be ready to go on May 26 so feel free to activate him then.
May 16, 2009
According to TSN.com, the Orioles have placed ailing outfielder Luke Scott on the 15-day DL with a sore shoulder. The move is retroactive to May 11th.
Our View:
This move happening was just a matter of time. With almost the entire O's outfield banged up in one way or another, someone had to go on the shelf. Adam Jones and Felix Pie are hurting as well and it still remains to be seen if they will find their way onto the DL. Starter Rich Hill was called up to fill the roster spot vacated by Scott.
May 15, 2009
Luke Scott continues to receive treatment on his ailing left shoulder, according to the Baltimore Sun.
Our View:
Scott is improving, but noted that he is still sore when he gets full extension on his swing. He is hopeful of returning to the diamond this weekend.
May 12, 2009
The Baltimore Orioles got some good news on Tuesday, reports MASNsports.com. The MRI on Luke Scott's shoulder came back negative, and he will avoid the disabled list.
Our View:
It was widely believed that Scott was headed for a sure-fire trip to the DL, but the MRI looked good. Scott is hoping to return to the lineup on Thursday, so keep that in mind if he is on your team.
May 11, 2009
Luke Scott is slated for an MRI on his left shoulder today after injuring it during Sunday's game, according to the Baltimore Sun. He was injured while running the bases and he said, "As soon as I hit the ground, I knew something was hurting. I have iced it twice. The first time after I iced it, it felt really terrible. The second time, it felt better. Right now, I can lift my shoulder, and that is a plus for me right now. When it first happened, I could not do it."
Our View:
Nolan Reimold could get recalled from the minors for outfield depth if Scott is forced to the DL. Ty Wigginton would likely continue to serve at DH as well.
May 10, 2009
The Baltimore Sun is reporting that Luke Scott left the Orioles' game on Sunday with a shoulder injury. He injured the shoulder while running the bases after singling in his first at-bat.
Our View:
No word yet on the severity of the injury, but he was replaced by Ty Wigginton at the DH spot. Expect Wigginton to continue to DH until Scott is able to return. We will keep you updated on his condition.
May 7, 2009
Luke Scott had two hits in two at-bats including his fifth home run of the year for the Orioles.
Our View:
Scott hasn't been an overly exciting option thus far, but he is hitting .280 with five home runs and 15 RBI in 27 games for the Orioles. He should continue producing along these lines as a valuable outfield option in AL-only leagues.
April 23, 2009
Luke Scott was 1-for-2 with a double, two RBI and two walks in the Orioles' 6-2 win over the White Sox in Thursday.
Our View:
Scott has been a nice surprise for the now .500 Orioles. He is hitting .309 with three homers, ten RBI and four doubles. The DH will continue to see consistent playing time as long as he keeps this up.
April 22, 2009
Luke Scott hit his third home run of the season, but it wasn't enough as the Orioles lost to the White Sox 8-2. Scott was 1-for-4 in the game.
Our View:
Scott has performed nicely so far in 2009, as he has tallied three home runs already. He is hitting over .300 and is worth a look in AL-only leagues for sure.
April 9, 2009
Luke Scott hit his first home run of the season Thursday in Baltimore's 11-2 to loss to the Yankees.
Our View:
Scott also struck out once and left a man stranded on the basepaths. He's batting .200 thus far this season, but he should present some decent value in AL-only leagues as the O's everyday DH.
March 5, 2009
Luke Scott went 1-for-3 and drove in two in Thursday's exhibition against the Marlins. He has already driven in five runs this spring and is hitting .385.
Our View:
This is a good sign for potential Scott owners. He's looking to build on last year's 23 homer campaign and should benefit in the Orioles' hitter friendly stadium. A good outfield option in mixed leagues.
January 20, 2009
The Orioles have avoided salary arbitration with Luke Scott by inking the outfielder to a one-year deal worth $2.4 million, according to the Baltimore Sun. He only made $430,000 last season.
Our View:
Scott hit 23 homers on 475 at-bats last season, and still has room to improve in the power department.
January 16, 2009
The Orioles are attempting to sign Luke Scott to a new contract before arbitration figures are exchanged on Tuesday, according to the Baltimore Sun.
Our View:
Scott will have a decent case going into arbitration, as he hit 23 home runs last season in fewer than 500 at-bats. Arbitration doesn't take into account the current economic conditions, so the O's would be wise to sign him before it comes to that.
