Fantasy Impact:

Luzardo was diagnosed with a Grade 2 lat strain earlier this week and now we have a timetable. Fantasy players who were stashing him in re-draft leagues can drop him for now. Luzardo could return to the minors sometime in early-to-mid August, which means we might not see him in the majors until September. The 21-year-old has dealt with injuries all season but remains an exciting young pitcher who will be fantasy relevant right away whenever he gets to the big leagues.
