    • Adam Dunn (CHI-A - 1B) News: Adam Dunn: Out After Appendectomy Impact: He played in Tuesday's loss to Kansas City, so this must have come on suddenly. While it sounds like he'll be back shortly, watch his progress as five days may be optimistic. Expect a mix/match of Paul Konerko, Carlos Quentin and others to DH while Dunn sits.

    • Brian Wilson (SF - P) News: Brian Wilson: (Oblique) Will Likely Return Wednesday Impact: Wilson threw a simulated inning Sunday and played catch Monday without issue, which was apparently enough to convince the team that he is ready to pitch again. Wilson will immediately regain the closing duties, so don't hesitate to get him in your lineup for Wednesday in anticipation of his return. (RotoWire | 4/5/2011 3:34:15 PM ET)
    • Chase Utley (PHI - 2B) News: Chase Utley: (Knee) Not Close To Jogging Impact: "He is not close to jogging," Amaro said. "If he was close to jogging he'd be jogging, I guess. He's taken some ground balls. He's done OK with that so far. But it's still baby steps, one step at a time. It's literally a day-to-day thing. ... He's made some progress, but it's slow. And it will continue to be slow. Even if he gets to the point where he starts to be able to run or jog or whatever, that doesn't mean he's going to jump forward all of a sudden and be in a rehab (assignment). That may take some time, too. There's a difference between jogging around and running 100 percent. It's all kind of a progression." Amaro said Utley, who has been taking fielding practice for a few days, still feels some discomfort in his knee. There remains no timetable for Utley's return. (RotoWire | 4/5/2011 3:33:55 PM ET)
    • Jordan Walden (ANA - P) News: Jordan Walden: New Angels Closer Impact: Manager Mike Scioscia made the announcement Tuesday afternoon. Fernando Rodney blew a save Sunday against the Royals and his next appearance will not be a save opportunity. Meanwhile, the young Walden gets an opportunity to seize the role if he's successful out of the gates. As a result, Walden is a must pickup in all formats, even if his hold on the job is tenuous. (RotoWire | 4/5/2011 2:25:45 PM ET)
    • Michael Stanton (FLA - OF) News: Michael Stanton: (Hamstring) Will Not Start During Three-Game Series Impact: Manager Edwin Rodriguez said Stanton should be available to pinch-hit if necessary, but he also noted that Stanton is only at about "65, 70 percent." Since Stanton will not be allowed to play the field, he will not be in the starting lineup for at least the next three games. Stanton still has not played since the season opener, but fantasy owners should remain patient and continue using other options until he returns. (RotoWire | 4/5/2011 2:25:36 PM ET)
