Sizemore Activated from DL

     Grady Sizemore has been activated from the DL and will be in the Indian's lineup today vs. the Orioles according to Jordan Bastian of MLB.com. Sizemore is coming back from micro fracture surgery on his knee last season. This same injury limited him to just 33 games in 2010. This may be a positive sign for Sizemore and the Cleveland Indians but not much for fantasy owners. Grady will receive limited playing time to start as manager Manny Acta will give him plenty of rest. The Indians don't want to rush him back and cause  further injury. On top of that, Sizemore will be rusty. It will take a little while before he's a major fantasy impact. You want players in your lineup who play everyday. If you have the bench spot take the chance and see if he returns to his 30-30 form he showed a few years ago. If you're in a league without a bench, monitor his playing time and production and wait to pick him up.
