Duncan's PT takes big hit: Indians outfielder Shelley Duncan began the 2012 season as the team's starting left fielder, but his playing time has been significantly reduced since Johnny Damon's arrival. Duncan has started just seven times (six in left field) since Damon made his season debut on May 2. (Updated 05/21/2012)

Fantasy Analysis
The Indians gave Duncan a great opportunity to take hold of a starting job in the majors. It started out well for Duncan, who hit .333 with two homers, six RBI and 10 walks in his first nine games. Unfortunately, it went quickly downhill after that and it spiraled out of control because Duncan started chasing pitches out of the strike zone. May has certainly been unkind to Duncan. Besides the reduction in PT, he's managed just four hits in 28 at-bats (.143). It's clear that Fantasy owners no longer need to hold onto Duncan. (Updated 05/21/2012).
