Newsbreakers
October 4, 2009
Sam Fuld hit his first career homer and simultaneously earned his first major league RBI on Sunday. His 2-for-3 effort accounted for both Chicago runs in a 5-2 loss to the Diamondbacks.
Our View:
Fuld finishes the season with a .299 average, but the power he displayed on Sunday was a one time showing. The homer was his only in 103 career at-bats.
September 16, 2009
The Chicago Tribune is reporting that Cubs' outfielder Sam Fuld could possibly miss the rest of the season with a strained left thumb. Fuld said he could return in a week or so, but the team will likely be cautious with him.
Our View:
Fuld doesn't seem to concerned with the injury, but it would make sense for the team to let him fully heal as long as they are out of the playoff hunt. Fuld hit .260 for the Cubbies this season and scored 12 runs.
September 15, 2009
According to the Arlington Heights Daily Herald, Cubs outfielder Sam Fuld underwent an MRI on his injured right thumb on Tuesday.
Our View:
Fuld made a diving catch on Monday night and may have sprained the thumb in question. He was sporting a splint in the clubhouse Tuesday and may have to miss significant time. Stay tuned.
July 31, 2009
According to the Chicago Tribune, the Cubs have recalled outfielder Sam Fuld from Triple-A Iowa.
Our View:
Fuld will replace the injured Reed Johnson on the roster and could see some spot starts in the outfield. He's not really worth a fantasy glance though, unless you're extremely desperate.
July 30, 2009
Sam Fuld is set to be recalled on Friday to give the Cubs some outfield depth after Reed Johnson landed on the disabled list today, according to the Arlington Daily Herald.
Our View:
Fuld went 7-for-19 in limited playing time earlier this month (and one game in June). With the increase in at-bats he's likely to see with Johnson out, he could be worth a look in NL-only leagues.
July 19, 2009
Sam Fuld has been optioned back to Triple-A Iowa.
Our View:
Fuld has gone 7-for-19 in the majors this season, but with the balky contracts of Alfonso Soriano, Kosuke Fukudome and Milton Bradley clogging up the Cubs outfield, he got very few opportunities to play.
July 11, 2009
The Cubs have called Sam Fuld back up to take the roster spot of the injured Geovany Soto, according to the Chicago Tribune.
Our View:
Fuld had four hits in 11 at-bats during his previous call-up this season. He shouldn't get enough playing time in the Cubs' outfield, even with Alfonso Soriano and Milton Bradley struggling, to warrant any fantasy consideration.
July 6, 2009
The Cubs optioned Sam Fuld to Triple-A Iowa on Monday, according to the Chicago Sun-Times.
Our View:
This may come as a bit of a surprise given Fuld's .364 batting average over his recent six-game stint near the top of the Cubs' lineup, but they were forced to make several moves following the DL activations of Aramis Ramirez, Reed Johnson and Angel Guzman. Expect Fuld to be one of top considerations to be called back up the next time Chicago has an available spot on the roster.
July 2, 2009
Sam Fuld went 2-for-4 with two runs scored starting in place of Alfonso Soriano, as the Cubs beat the Brewers 9-5.
Our View:
Fuld is obviously not an option in any format, but Cubs fans are likely savoring the rare sight he provided Thursday: production from a North Side left fielder.
June 29, 2009
Sam Fuld has been recalled from Triple-A Iowa to take the roster spot of the injured Aaron Miles, according to the Chicago Tribune.
Our View:
Fuld is batting .286 at Iowa, including .417 in his last 10 games. He has also swiped 20 bases, but isn't fantasy relevant at this time, however.
March 24, 2009
The Cubs optioned outfielder Sam Fuld to Triple-A Iowa on Tuesday, MLB.com reports. "He came in here relaxed, and to me he was the most improved player from one camp to another," manager Lou Piniella explains. "I told him to work a little bit on stealing bases and just keep playing and stay injury free. He's another kid who's not too far from the big leagues."
Our View:
Fuld spent parts of 2007 and 2008 at Triple-A, and this move will feel like heading home. The Cubs have a crowded outfield, and it would probably take injuries to, for instance, both Reed Johnson and Joey Gathright for Fuld to come up and find ample playing time.
