Injury Report
Neck - 15-day DL. Out until at least mid-August (Updated - 7/22/08)
Fantasy Analysis
Duncan is hitting only .248 this season with six homers and 27 RBI as a part-time member of the Cardinals outfield. He's only worth stashing in the deepest of NL-only leagues while he's on the DL. Mather is batting .244 in 45 at-bats with St. Louis. He might be worth owning in deeper NL-only leagues because Tony La Russa likes to gives all his outfielders playing time. (Updated 07/22/2008).
The St. Louis Cardinals placed Duncan on the 15-day disabled list Tuesday with a bulging disc in his neck. It's the latest setback for a player who totaled 43 homers his first two major league seasons but has just six this year. (Updated 07/22/2008)
Advice
Duncan, batting .248 with 27 RBIs in part-time duty, said the neck has been bothering him for a while but had been tolerable until after Monday night's game when he couldn't sleep and then woke up with stiffness. He also reported shooting pain down his right arm.
