BALLER MOVE: Add in all leagues, but remain cautious of injury
OWNED IN: 57% of Fleaflicker leagues
ANALYSIS: Angel Pagan put together an impressive first month of the season, batting .315 with two home runs, 12 RBI, and two stolen bases. A switch-hitter, Pagan batted .371 against lefties and fared well against righties with his .281 average. Add in his .355 BABIP, .366 OBP, power/speed potential, and two-spot in the Giants batting order, and you get a really solid waiver wire pickup. That is, when he's healthy.
After singling in the seventh inning of Sunday's contest versus the New York Mets, Pagan strained his hamstring while rounding first, and was pulled from action.
"I don't think it's anything," Pagan said after the game, according to ESPN.com.
It might not be anything major, but it is something to keep an eye on. Pagan is expected to miss a minimum of four to five games with a Grade 1 strain in his left hamstring, while a trip to the DL is uncertain. As fantasy owners, it will be wise to wait and see with Pagan considering injuries have plagued Pagan in the past. We can expect an update at the end of the week or the beginning of next.
