Kyuji Fujikawa appears headed to the DL
by Mitch Cox | Thu, Apr 2nd 2:16am EDT
It appears that Kyuji Fujikawa will join fellow reliever Tanner Scheppers on the disabled list to start the season. Fujikawa complained of groin tightness after Tuesday's outing and will be examined by team orthopedist Dr. Keith Meister in Arlington on Thursday (rangersblog.dallasnews.com)
Fantasy Impact:
With both Scheppers and Fujikawa most likely headed to the DL, the possible return of Shawn Tolleson for Opening Day becomes even more important for the suddenly depleted bullpen. Additionally, this might ensure a spot on the roster for Keone Kala who has easily been the most effective arm out of the pen this spring. Kala has appeared in nine games, tossing 9.1 innings, allowing just three hits and no runs, while walking two and striking out 11. Looking for a super sleeper? Kala might be your man.
