Steven Souza avoids a major injury to his hip

Steven Souza Jr. (RF - FA)

Steven Souza (hip) avoided a major injury and manager Kevin Cash is "pretty optimistic" he won't need a disabled list stint, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports. Souza left Wednesday's game with a hip injury but an MRI didn't find anything serious. (Marc Topkin on Twitter)

Fantasy Impact
Souza should be considered day to day as his absence should not be too long. Shane Peterson or Peter Bourjos will take his place and neither one of them has any fantasy value.
