Ryan Helsley Placed On 15-Day Injured List
1 year agoThe St. Louis Cardinals placed right-handed closer Ryan Helsley (forearm) on the 15-day injured list (retroactive to June 10) on Monday with a right-forearm strain and recalled right-hander Jake Woodford from Triple-A Memphis in a corresponding move. Helsley didn't pitch at all over the weekend against the Cincinnati Reds, and now we know why. Fantasy managers may want to prepare for Helsley to miss more than the required 15 days on the IL. Giovanny Gallegos picked up a save on Friday and a hold last Wednesday and should be considered the favorite to see most of the save chances for as long as Helsley is sidelined. Gallegos is only 56% rostered in Yahoo leagues. Although the Cardinals haven't provided many save chances this year, Gallegos is worthy of a pickup for fantasy managers in need of saves.
