Josh Outman

He was examined in Atlanta and had an MRI and X-Rays, but the results were inconclusive. Atlanta had signed the lefty to a one-year contract in January for $925,000 in the hopes he would serve as a LH specialist. It appears he could have something significant going on with his shoulder.

Fantasy Impact

This is the reason the Braves moved quickly to claim LHP Andrew McKirahan from the Marlins. The team desperately needs McKirahan to step up and fill the void.

Outman had stints with the Yankees and Indians last year and posted a 2.86 ERA with 26 strikeouts and 16 walks over 28 1/3 innings. He missed the 2010 season because of Tommy John surgery.

Fantasy Impact

He could fit in the Braves bullpen as a left-handed specialist but carries no fantasy relevance.
