Roster %
Eligibility
Luis Medina (knee) is scheduled to throw around 45 pitches in a simulated game Wednesday.
Fantasy Impact
Medina will look to make it through this sim game without any setbacks before heading out on a rehab assignment. Fantasy managers should expect him to join the starting rotation when activated.
Luis Medina (knee) faced live hitters Monday during a 20-pitch bullpen session.
Fantasy Impact
Medina continues to rehab a knee injury and appears ready to take the next step in the rehab process. He is expected to throw a simulated game Friday and go out on a rehab assignment after that, barring any setbacks.
Luis Medina (knee) is slated to begin a rehab assignment next week.
Fantasy Impact
Medina is set to throw four bullpen sessions this week before being sent out on a rehab assignment. The right-hander is currently on the 60-day IL and will need multiple rehab outings before returning to the team.
Athletics manager Mark Kotsay said Luis Medina has a Grade 2 MCL sprain.
Fantasy Impact
Kotsay added that Medina won't be ready for the start of the season. He was forced to leave Monday's game early with the injury.
With three walks against three strikeouts, along with three earned runs surrendered, Medina's performance left much to be desired Monday.
Fantasy Impact
With a high WHIP of 1.52 and a mediocre strikeout rate of 8.6 K/9, Medina's fantasy value remains limited despite his occasional flashes of potential. Fantasy managers should approach him with caution moving forward.
