Today’s Roto Riteup celebrates the author completing a good chunk of the Cinderella jigsaw puzzle he has neglected to work on for the past two weeks.
On today’s agenda:
1. Mike Trout misses second straight game
2. Astros call up Max Stassi
3. Clay Buchholz to start rehab assignment
The Nationals made a move that could leave fantasy owners mildly perturbed, acquiring David DeJesus from the Chicago Cubs in exchange for a player to be named later. DeJesus was batting .250 with a .330 OBP while playing a well-regarded centerfield before being traded.
When you boil it down, this is a deal involving a newly minted fourth outfielder, but there are many players whose values could be altered with this simple deal. Let’s examine each and every one of them, shall we?
Today’s Roto Riteup aims to make your Monday just a little less deplorable.
On today’s agenda
1. Jenrry Mejia to DL, season likely over
2. A James Paxton update
3. Andrew Lambo back to AAA
You lucky readers are treated to a Saturday edition of the Roto Riteup that isn’t written by Professor Pony.
On today’s agenda:

2. Alexi Ogando’s shoulder gets diagnosed
3. Yovani Gallardo to return today
4. Fun with arbitrary endpoints
Today’s Roto Riteup comes on my sister’s birthday. I’d give her well wishes here, but we already celebrated the occasion a couple nights ago, and I don’t want to over-inflate her already massive ego.
On today’s agenda:
1. Colby Rasmus to DL
2. Desmond Jennings to return Monday, probably
3. Fun with arbitrary endpoints
The present author was without power for 24 hours, which really made him think about his priorities in life. Mainly, it left the author with the realization that watching the return of Breaking Bad was of the utmost importance.
That being said, today’s Roto Riteup is largely injury related, because that’s what the news of the day required.
On today’s agenda:
1. Josh Johnson to DL
2. Aramis Ramirez activated from DL
3. Dustin Ackley to play a little more
4. Matt Harrison won’t be back this year
5. Dan Uggla to DL
Although critics proclaimed yesterday’s Roto Riteup as “brilliant” and a “gripping masterpiece,” today’s Riteup may be even better.
On today’s agenda
1. Roy Halladay ramps up rehab, Gonzalez deal hits a snag
2. Corey Kluber out 4-6 weeks, Carson Cistulli placed on suicide watch
3. Delmon Young benched in favor of Darin Ruf
4. Fun with arbitrary endpoints
Today’s Roto Riteup was written while the current author took a break from assembling a 1000-piece puzzle. Normally the author enjoys puzzles and finds them to be mentally stimulating, but in this case, the stupid puzzle has a stupid border around it, make all the edge pieces nearly identical in design.
On today’s agenda:
1. Tom Wilhelmsen stretching out in the minors
2. Domonic Brown returns
3. Minor Leaguers: Zimmer, Wong, Sano
Welcome to another week of the Roto Riteup, which can help you pass the time before the return of Breaking Bad.

2. David Wright’s out a month
3. Wil Myers progress report

2. Justin Maxwell and the Royals’ outfield
3. Raul Ibanez and the Mariners
