Nick Hagadone said it felt like his arm "exploded" when he suffered a fracture in his elbow while pitching earlier this month. Look for recently promoted Michael Roth to join Marc Rzepczynski as the lefties out of the bullpen.

As reported by Indians' beat reporter Jordan Bastian, Nick Hagadone underwent "internal fixation of his left elbow medial epicondyle" today. Dr. Andrews estimates 6-9 month recovery.

Before the injury Nick Hagadone had little fantasy value and that was only in leagues that valued relief pitchers. It is safe to drop him in all formats.

LHP Nick Hagadone, who was placed on the DL with a lower back strain on July 8, sustained what is believed to be a serious injury to his left elbow during a rehab outing. A second opinion is being sought.

A second opinion could put him out for the rest of the season. In 36 games, Nick Hagadone has a 4.28 ERA with 28 strikeouts and 12 walks in 27 1/3 innings. He has only limited value in deeper leagues.

LHP Nick Hagadone got five outs, three by strikeout, in Sunday's loss to the Tigers. He did not give up a hit or walk a batter.

Every cloud has a silver lining and this was it for the Indians during their 8-1 drubbing by the Tigers. Nick Hagadone had his best outing of the season. 1 2/3 hitless innings helped pull his ERA down to 3.42. He still does not have much fantasy value.

In the seventh inning vs. the Mariners, Nick Hagadone was summoned from the bullpen for a bases-loaded jam. He immediately struck out Kyle Seager on three pitches.

Fantasy Impact

This was the fourth hold of the season for Nick Hagadone. He has a 4.32 ERA with a 9.53 SO/9 but does not possess much fantasy value.
