We have more bad news for Carlos Lee owners. Lee was forced to leave last Sunday's game after colliding with shortstop Angel Sanchez going for a shallow fly ball. Lee was lying on the ground writhing in pain for several minutes with a supposed rib-injury. It doesn't look like he'll be put on the DL which means he's probably hurting many owners out there burning a hole in their lineups.
The injury doesn't exactly come at a time when he's putting up numbers. Lee is hitting just over the Mendoza Line and has put up average home run numbers. I would usually tell you it's way too early to drop over one bad month but this comes after a career low batting average last year (.246). On top of that, his RBI and HR numbers have been trending down the last three years. You can hang on hope that he's just going through the motions on a bad team and wait for a trade but that would be a mistake. There are plenty of Outfielders out there that can give you better production. Don't keep him based on his name, he's no longer a top hitter.
