Gervacio might not pitch in camp: The Sports Xchange reports Astros RP Sammy Gervacio is making slow progress from offseason shoulder surgery. "I don't think we're going to see him throw down here," general manager Ed Wade said, referring to the entirety of camp. "At this point there's no sense to rushing him." Gervacio had one of the best springs on the team last year but was injured in April and never recovered. (Updated 02/20/2011)

Fantasy Analysis
Gervacio pitched just 3 2/3 innings last year before being shut down and eventually having surgery. He was a promising pitching prospect before his shoulder problems, even looking like a closer of the future, but he needs to prove healthy and productive again before Fantasy owners should even consider adding him to a roster. As a middle reliever, Gervacio has minimal Fantasy appeal to begin with. (Updated 02/20/2011).
