Scott Van Slyke

Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder Scott Van Slyke has been transferred to the 60-day disabled list and is out for the rest of the regular season after deciding to have a cysts and scar tissue removed from his wrist.

Fantasy Impact

Scott Van Slyke played a total of 52 games this season and shouldn't have been on anyone's fantasy team. If Van Slyke was on your team, you probably are not in the running and this news isn't relevant to you anyway.

Scott Van Slyke hit an absolute bomb on Wednesday off Patrick Corbin. Van Slyke finished the game 2-for-3 with one HR and 3 RBI.

Fantasy Impact

That was Van Slyke's first home run of the year as SVS has missed over 40 games due to back pain.

The Dodgers are going to re-evaluate Van Slyke's back issues today.

Fantasy Impact

Van Slyke's back issues don't seem to be too serious or DL worthy. SVS is only valuable in NL-only leagues and as a cheap flyer in DFS when he starts.

Scott Van Slyke will meet with a hand specialist due to a cyst.

Fantasy Impact

Van Slyke usually starts when the Dodgers are facing a left-handed starting pitcher but was unable to crack the lineup on back-to-back nights. He might be able to play Friday vs. the Pirates left-handed starting pitcher, Jeff Locke. Van Slyke is a decent value play on DFS sites when he starts vs. LHP.

Scott Van Slyke has been placed on the 15-day disabled list due to mid-back tightness.

Fantasy Impact

The Dodgers recalled Chris Heisey from Triple-A Oklahoma. Van Slyke should be able return sooner than later. No need to pick up Heisey in any league format.
