Cliff Lee headed to the DL

After trying to pitch through the discomfort of a torn flexor tendon, Cliff Lee and the Phillies have decided to shut down the former AL Cy Young award winner with the hope that a trip to the 60 day DL will allow him enough recovery to pitch before the season ends. At this point though surgery is a matter of when, not if and it would not be a surprise to see Lee miss the season. (ESPN)
Fantasy Impact:
At this point the concern for Lee moves away from his fantasy value and towards his future in baseball. Those who gambled on Lee should put him on the DL for now but don't let his name alone keep him on your roster. Most other players you draft will be more deserving of that spot than Lee on your roster.
