Hunter not expected back Monday: The Los Angeles Times reports Angels outfielder Torii Hunter, who has been on the restricted list for a week to deal with a personal matter, isn't expected to return Monday against the A's. However, manager Mike Scioscia was quoted over the weekend saying that the team hopes Hunter will return during the team's current road trip, which ends Sunday at Seattle. (Updated 05/21/2012)

Fantasy Analysis
Hunter is expected back during Fantasy Week 8 (May 21-27), but who knows when it will be and how many games he will play. You are definitely taking a big risk by starting him since the early reports are that he won't be back Monday. When Hunter does return, he will look to snap a 2-for-30 slump he's currently mired in. That has dropped Hunter's average from .319 to .256, so he was productive before his recent slide. Hunter can be a viable Fantasy start when active. (Updated 05/21/2012).

Torii Hunter put up his usual production despite making the move full-time to right field last season and continued to be a solid option in Fantasy. He would slug just .396 during the first half of the season but woke up after the All-Star break, posting a .472 mark over his final 68 games. While his batting average on the year slipped a bit to .262, he hit 23 home runs with 82 RBI and a .429 slugging percentage. He also played in 156 games -- his most since 2007 -- and got on base at a .336 clip. While his days of hitting 30-plus homers might be gone at age 36, the addition of Albert Pujols to the lineup should give him more protection and more opportunities to produce. Hunter has averaged 24 homers with 88 RBI and a .275 average over the last 11 seasons so consider him a viable option in all mixed leagues on Draft Day. (Updated 1/11/12)
