Reimold opts for second epidural: Baltimore outfielder Nolan Reimold (neck) has been scheduled to receive a second epidural injection on Friday, reports MASNsports.com. Reimold was wavering on whether or not he wanted to undergo the second injection, but ultimately decided it was the best course of action. The 28-year-old received the first injection on May 11 but his neck has not really gotten better. (Updated 05/22/2012)

Neck - 15-day DL. Out until at least early June (Updated - 5/22/12)
Fantasy Analysis
Reimold was considering simply toughing it out and playing through the pain as the second epidural injection will only keep him out even longer. Still, it is probably the correct decision in the long run for the 28-year-old outfielder. Of course, this means Reimold is going to take even longer to return. He got off to a hot start, despite dealing with the back and neck issues, and was hitting .313 with five homers and 10 RBI at the time of his DL placement. Fantasy owners should keep an eye on his status moving forward to see when he will be able to return. Reimold can be considered a a solid option in AL-only and some deeper mixed when healthy, so continue to stash him in those formats moving forward. (Updated 05/22/2012).
