      Recommendation: He was on fire for the first three weeks of August, accumulating five homers and 22 RBI in 18 games. Hawpe's current slump is a normal part of a long season and it's worth pointing out that he is still hitting .314 with a .547 slugging percentage this month.

    • The Orioles had Cabrera meet with the team's orthopedist Monday, the Associated Press reports.
      Recommendation: Cabrera was a borderline fantasy starter before the All Star break, but since then his consistency has gone down and he has the stats to show for it (2-3, 8.02 ERA since the break). Orioles manager Dave Trembley said that he will not miss his start Saturday against the Ray. Fantasy owners, on the other hand, should avoid starting him unless you are in dire need of a starting pitcher in AL-only leagues.

  • Sat, Aug 23
    • RHP Ryan Dempster matched his career high when he earned his 15th victory. Dempster does not care about winning 20; he predicted in spring training that the Cubs would end their 100-year championship drought.

    • 1B Todd Helton (lower back stiffness), who began playing catch earlier in the week, was allowed to field groundballs hit directly at him on Wednesday to test his back.

    • Helton (back) ran in the outfield on Monday and expects to take batting practice later this week, according to the Rocky Mountain News.
      Recommendation: Batting practice will be a big test because Helton suffered a significant setback during a similar session about a month ago.
