Segments 1 and 2 - Review of the weekend games.

Additional Questions
1.Shohei Ohtani is done pitching for the year when an MRI revealed he had a torn UCL in his elbow. I guess if you have him rostered in a fantasy league and can play him at either UT or SP, you are playing him at UT, so maybe the short-term effect is not too bad. However, it's still a brutal blow.
a.Thoughts
b.Thoughts on what this means for teams in the off-season who might want his services.
2.More impactful for fantasy managers this season might be the potential loss of Felix Bautista for the rest of the season.
a.Thoughts
b.I’m assuming the pickup is Yennier Cano?
3.Wander Franco has been put on Administrative Leave until further notice.
a.How are you advising fantasy managers to handle in one-year leagues? Dropping or holding on?
4.On a happier note, the Mariners caught both the Rangers and Astros. Who had that on their bingo cards?
a.Hot streak or can they make this move stick?
