3 years agoSan Francisco Giants pitcher Sammy Long (back) was placed on the 10-day injured list on Monday. The 25-year-old lefty could be back in the starting rotation after the All-Star break if the back injury isn't too serious, although his last two appearances make his future in the starting rotation a bit unclear. Long struggled in his last two starts for San Francisco, allowing four runs on four hits through five innings pitched in a loss to the Oakland A's and four earned runs on seven hits through four innings pitched in a no-decision against the Arizona Diamondbacks last week. Fantasy managers who have been holding out hope the young pitcher could find his early season success should confidently walk away at this point.--Chelena Goldman
