Injury Report
Oblique - 15-day DL. Out until at least early August (Updated - 7/19/08)
Fantasy Analysis
Burton has developed into one of the Cincinnati Reds' most dependable setup relievers. The right-handed Burton was 4-1 with a 2.23 earned run average in 43 games, often as the setup man for closer Francisco Cordero. He pulled a muscle in his side on a pitch July 6, and has been bothered by it since then. He is a solid middle reliever for deeper leagues that use true middle men when healthy. (Updated 07/19/2008).
