| Alex Avila still in pain |
by Chris Cwik | CBSSports.com (6/18/13) Tigers catcher Alex Avila's forearm is still pretty sore, according to the Detroit Free Press.
Avila was placed on the disabled list with a deep forearm contusion after being hit by a pitch. Avila didn't think he broke any bones, but said it was "probably the most pain I’ve felt on the field before." The following day, Avila admitted the injury was still "pretty sore, pretty painful."
Avila is hitting .172/.271/.288 in 163 at-bats.

| Alex Avila safe to drop in one-catcher formats |
by Nando Di Fino | Senior Fantasy Writer (6/17/13) Tigers catcher Alex Avila hit the DL on Monday, the cherry on top of a horrific season that has produced just two weeks of double-digit Fantasy scoring, accompanied by a .172 average and five home runs.
In leagues where owners need to start just one catcher, Avila -- owned in 24 percent of leagues -- can be safely dropped. Even if you have an open DL spot, it might serve your Fantasy team better to speculate on someone like Danny Duffy than to keep Avila rostered. There's always hope for a turnaround after the DL stint -- and Avila has the sixth-best catcher ERA, so he will come back and play -- but if he can be replaced by a top-15 catcher on your roster, along with a better DL stash candidate, now would be the time to do it.

| Tigers put Alex Avila on 15-day DL |
by Michael Hurcomb | CBSSports.com (6/17/13) The Tigers placed catcher Alex Avila on the 15-day disabled list Monday because of a left forearm contusion suffered Sunday against the Twins. Catcher Bryan Holaday was recalled from Triple-A Toledo to take Avila's roster spot.
Manager Jim Leyland said the playing time split between Holaday and Brayan Pena will be a "gut feel" while Avila is sidelined.

| Alex Avila sits out with forearm injury |
by Michael Hurcomb | CBSSports.com (6/17/13) As expected, Tigers catcher Alex Avila was held out of the starting lineup Monday against the Orioles after leaving Sunday's game against the Twins with a forearm injury. Brayan Pena replaced Avila in the starting lineup.
Prior to leaving Sunday's game, Avila went 2 for 3 with one double. However, he is batting just .171 (6 for 35) in 11 June games and is batting .130 (9 for 69) in his last 23 games. His batting average has dropped from .202 to .172 in his last 23 games.

| Alex Avila unlikely to play Monday |
by Igor Mello | CBSSports.com (6/16/13) Tigers manager Jim Leyland told MLive.com Sunday that catcher Alex Avila is unlikely to play Monday night against the Orioles. Avila left Sunday's game against the Twins in the ninth inning with a forearm injury.
"I'd be surprise if he can catch tomorrow," Leyland said.
Avila is expected to miss at least one game. He is hitting .172 with five home runs and 13 RBI in 163 at-bats.

| Alex Avila emerged from the 2011 season as one of the most productive catchers in Fantasy, and he appeared to be on the rise. As is often the case with catchers, though, Avila was hampered by a variety of injuries, including hamstring and knee issues, and his offense fell short of expectations in 2012. Avila continued to exercise good plate discipline, but for the bulk of the season, the power just wasn't there. He was particularly sluggish upon returning from a June disabled list stint; in his first 52 games upon being activated, he hit just two home runs and nine doubles. Even if Avila's woes can be chalked up to injuries, it's not especially comforting to Fantasy owners, who have to wonder if he can hold up as an everyday catcher. If Avila reverts to his 2011 form, he could be a steal on draft day, but last season's performance makes him too risky to draft prior to the middle rounds in mixed leagues. (Updated 12/4/12) |
