Newsbreakers

January 19, 2010

The Dodgers and Hong-Chih Kuo have avoided arbitration by agreeing to a one-year, $950,000 deal, according to the MLB.com's Ken Gurnick.

Our View:

That seems like a nice bargain for a proven left-handed middle reliever/setup man. Kuo had two holds and a win in the playoffs last season.

July 27, 2009

Hong-Chih Kuo has been activated from the 60-day DL following his recovery from a strained elbow, according to the Associated Press.

Our View:

He will provide depth in the Dodgers' bullpen, but his fantasy value is limited as a middle reliever. The 28-year-old hurler has a career 3.99 ERA in the majors.

July 22, 2009

According to the LA Daily News, Hong-Chih Kuo could return to the Dodgers as early as next week.

Our View:

Kuo, recovering from an elbow strain in Single-A, pitched on consecutive nights for the first time Tuesday. He is scheduled to get two days off and then pitch again Friday. Barring any setbacks he will return to the big league club next week.

July 4, 2009

MLB.com is reporting that the Dodgers have moved pitcher Hong-Chih Kuo from the 15-day DL to the 60-day DL. Kuo is still recovering from a strained left elbow.

Our View:

The Dodgers haven't been impressed with Kuo's recovey thus far, and now it looks like he will be out for much longer than expected. Any fantasy value he had is gone now, so if he is on anyone's roster you should get a replacement immediately.

June 1, 2009

Hong-Chih Kuo's recovery from a strained left elbow is not going well, and he lacks control with his pitches, according to the Los Angeles Daily News. Skipper Joe Torre said, "His biggest issue is his inability to find one release point. He has no command right now. He will warm up and then whatever it is, after that he cannot find his release point. It is ideal for a pitcher to do that to get in a rhythm."

Our View:

Kuo was a solid middle reliever in 2008, but is only worth stashing in the deepest of fantasy leagues.
