I had the same reaction: if Lopez isn't even missing a start, how can Soler get a full week suspension? But I don't konw that it's safe to assume logic applies in these situations, either. Back in the day, these things got sorted out when the teams came through NY and the player could go to the league office for his "hearing". I assume they do that on Zoom now, so I'd expect it gets resolved very soon.

hi Ray, regarding Langford injury minor strain of quadricep: would you bench him this week in favor of rengifo, j lee, l acuna, or j ortiz? Thank you for your collaboration
Ray Murphy
12:54
Big Hurt says 5-7 days, maybe an IL stint... so I think you want to bench him this week.

which 3 pitchers would you use this week: senga vs chc,  griffin vs pit, mlodzinski vs was, junk vs mil, peterson vs lad & chc, baker, r walker? Thank you
Ray Murphy

Again, consult the SP Matchup tool. I'm just going to tell you what that says, so...

Are the Twins infield youngsters Cody Clemens and Tristan Gray worth a role of the dice?
Is Taj a mirage or is this who most thought he'd be when he came up?
Ray Murphy
12:56
I'm a big believer that Taj has it figured out. Gray is probably a short-termer. But Clemens has enough versatility in the field and in terms of his plate skills that he can potentially be helpful.

11 team NL roto keeper, Casey Schmitt or Kyle Karros ROS?
Ray Murphy
12:57
Schmitt, just because I'm worried Karros is going to get sent down.

NL only, saves/holds.  PMaton has been awful.  Injury related?  is a drop?  or hold?   Same question for JEstrada.
Ray Murphy

I mentioned Estrada last week, same applies to Maton. There are good middle/setup relievers everywhere, even in deep leagues. There is no reason to stay attached to guys who aren't effective. Maybe they're hurt, maybe it's mechanical, maybe it's just bad luck. But you don't need to hold them to find out. Go get another one.

Burger, off to an abysmal start, just hit waivers in my 12-team OBP league. Anything under the hood to make him seem like a viable rebound target for a power-hungry team (sounds nefarious, I know)?
Ray Murphy

It's not THAT horrible. He had a rough week last week. Before that he was fine. Hold.

AL only 5x5 roto who do you throw a dart at this week, Gelof or Eloy Jimenez?
Ray Murphy
12:59
Eloy just because I think he'll actually play. I can't get excited about Gelof unless they show that he's going to get an actual shot.

OK, that's our hour! Thanks for all the good questions. Have a good week... either Brent or I will be back on Friday for another round. Until then....
