RP Kuo might return for the NLCS: Dodgers manager Joe Torre said left-handed reliever Hong-Chih Kuo (5-3 with a 2.14 ERA and 96 strikeouts in 80 innings) is a possibility to join the roster for the NLCS against the Phillies. Kuo wasn't available in the first round because of a circulation problem. Torre watched Kuo throw off the mound Sunday and said he looked good. Kuo will throw again Tuesday or Wednesday, when the Dodgers work out in Philadelphia.

Injury Report

Circulatory - Out until at least NLCS
(Updated - 10/2/08)

Fantasy Analysis

Kuo is one of the most valuable middle relievers in Rotisserie play, so you'll want to keep an eye on his condition. Still, unless the Dodgers move him to the rotation, don't expect to draft him in Fantasy next season.
(Updated 10/07/2008).

Kuo will not pitch in the NL division series for the Dodgers as a precaution because of a possible condition with his circulation. (Updated 09/28/2008)

Advice

The Dodgers didn't want to take any chances Kuo, who has a long history of injury problems, might have a blood clot. He will undergo more tests in the coming days, then head to instructional league in Arizona to determine whether he might be available if the NL West champions advance to the National League championship series.
