Jon Lester To Miss 1-2 Starts
6 years agoThe Chicago Cubs are expecting starting pitcher Jon Lester (hamstring) to miss one to two starts with a left hamstring injury that cropped up while he was running the bases in the win over the Pirates on Monday. The Cubs are expected to provide more details on Lester's MRI exam on Wednesday. Tyler Chatwood seems like the likeliest candidate to take Lester's place on Sunday against the Angels. Chatwood would be a poor streaming choice, as he's been working out of the bullpen and hasn't gone more than two innings in a game since March 6 in spring training. Lester needs to be stashed in all fantasy leagues, and it looks like he might not be out for very long.
