Emilio Pagan Headed for Injured List With Hamstring Injury
Cincinnati Reds right-handed closer Emilio Pagan (hamstring) will have imaging on Wednesday morning, but he will go on the 15-day injured list, according to C. Trent Rosecrans of The Athletic. Pagan threw just one pitch before injuring his left hamstring in Tuesday's game against the Chicago Cubs, and he had to be carted off the field. It's not the first time this year that Pagan has dealt with an injury to the same hamstring, but this time it's much worse. It's unclear exactly what his timetable for a return will be, but fantasy managers should expect a lengthy absence. The 34-year-old veteran has six saves in his 14 relief appearances for the Reds this year, but it hasn't been pretty otherwise, as he came into Tuesday's game with a 6.43 ERA (5.86 FIP) and 1.43 WHIP with 11 strikeouts and six walks in 14 innings pitched. Right-hander Tony Santillan will most likely be the favorite for saves in Cincy moving forward, making him a priority waiver-wire addition for fantasy managers in search of saves. Graham Ashcraft could also be involved. Santillan is currently rostered in 19% of Yahoo leagues.
