De La Rosa pulled from rehab: The Rockies have recalled rehabbing starter Jorge De La Rosa from his assignment with Triple-A Colorado Springs on Saturday, reports MLB.com. De La Rosa is dealing with left forearm tightness and the rehab had to be stopped for the moment. De La Rosa was hoping to return to the rotation from Tommy John surgery on June 2 against the Dodgers. That won't happen now as he needs to go on the DL with the new forearm injury. After seven days, he will be placed back on the DL and will get a new 30-day injury rehab window. (Updated 05/19/2012)
Injury Report
Elbow, forearm - 15-day DL. Out until at least mid-June (Updated - 5/19/12)
Fantasy Analysis
De La Rosa was hoping to return June 2 but clearly wasn't ready. His rehab window expires on May 27 and he is now frozen for seven days until he can be put on the DL again with forearm tightness. He's probably not coming back for Colorado until at least the later days of June. Stay tuned to the updates regarding De La Rosa, but this news is not good. De La Rosa has compiled four straight winning seasons with the Rockies while posting nearly a strikeout per inning. He should be reserved in NL-only Fantasy formats. (Updated 05/19/2012).

The tiers approach is nothing new to Fantasy, but the impact it can have on your draft is undeniable. Scott White shares his tiers by position for 2012, a guide for you to establish your own tiers.
Jorge De La Rosa was on his way to his best season to date when he tore the ulnar collateral ligament in his left elbow in his 10th start of the year. He had Tommy John surgery in early June and is on target to return sometime around mid-season this year. Aside from the uncertainty surrounding his recovery, De La Rosa may not perform as well as he did in early 2011, as he benefitted from an ultra-low home run rate, even though he was inducing fewer grounders than normal. With just a half season of production ahead of him at best, De La Rosa can go undrafted in practically all mixed leagues. However, he could be a worthy midseason waiver acquisition, and he could also be worth a late-round flier in NL-only leagues. (Updated 1/18/12)
