Newsbreakers
June 2, 2009
The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette is reporting that Craig Hansen has been diagnosed with a nerve disorder in his neck that fails to control his trapezius muscle. Hansen is expected to fly to Bradenton, Florida later this week to begin rehab.
Our View:
It is hard to gauge a return time for Hansen because this is a bit of a rare injury. We will keep you updated on his rehab, but don't expect to see him in the majors any time soon. Hansen held very little fantasy value anyway.
May 27, 2009
Craig Hansen, who is recovering from neck and upper-back spasms, will undergo more tests this morning, according to the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette.
Our View:
The results of his previous tests are expected today. Hansen does not hold much fantasy value as a middle reliever.
May 23, 2009
Craig Hansen has suffered a setback in his recovery from neck and upper-back spasms, according to the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette.
Our View:
He was shut down following a bullpen session Friday and will undergo more tests early next week, which may include an MRI. Hansen holds little fantasy value as a middle reliever when healthy.
May 16, 2009
Updating a previous report, Craig Hansen threw 20 pitches in his scheduled bullpen session on Friday, according to the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette.
Our View:
According to Hansen, the session went fairly well and he will repeat Friday's efforts a few more times before heading to extended spring training. As a middle reliever Hansen has little fantasy value outside of deep NL-only leagues that record holds.
May 13, 2009
Craig Hansen is scheduled to throw his first pen session Friday since landing on the DL with a strained upper-back, according to the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette.
Our View:
Hansen provides decent depth in the bullpen, but will only hold fantasy value in deeper NL-only leagues that use middle men upon his return.
May 8, 2009
Craig Hansen is ready to return to the Pirates after a specialist did not find any serious problems with his neck and scapula, according to the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette. He was suffering from neck pain and back spasms.
Our View:
The Pirates start a three-game set with the Mets in New York tonight. Hansen will provide adequate depth in the bullpen, but does not hold fantasy value outside of deeper leagues that feature middle men.
May 7, 2009
Craig Hansen visited a specialist Wednesday, according to the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette. He is suffering from back spasms and neck pain.
Our View:
Hansen will provide decent depth to the Pirates' bullpen when ready to return, but is not going to hold much fantasy value.
April 25, 2009
The Pittsburgh Tribune-Review reports that reliever Craig Hansen has been placed on the DL due to neck spasms.
Our View:
Must be a pretty nasty case of neck spasms. Hansen has appeared in five games and has a 5.68 ERA and 1.58 WHIP. He holds no fantasy value.
April 2, 2009
Craig Hansen has made the Pirates' opening day roster, according to the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette.
Our View:
Hansen held a 1.79 WHIP over 46.1 innings last season, and should not be considered for fantasy rosters as a middle reliever.
February 25, 2009
Craig Hansen was perfect in the Pirates first big league spring game on Wednesday, striking out a pair in one inning.
Our View:
Hansen could end up as the Pirates' setup man, but he'll more than likely make the club as a middle reliever.
