Fantasy Analysis
Runzler was getting close to a starting a minor-league rehab assignment, but that be put on hold for now.

However, because Runzler is not expected to see many save chances, his value will be limited to deeper NL-only formats that reward true middle men when healthy. (Updated 05/02/2012).
