Calf - 15-day DL. On Class A rehab assignment (Updated - 4/21/12)
Fantasy Analysis
Saito reported no issues after his outing, but still has a ton of hurdles to get over before he is ready to return. He will likely need at least a few more rehab outings before that happens, so Fantasy owners shouldn't be expecting to see him back with the Diamondbacks anytime soon. Keep an eye on his status moving forward. Still, as a middle reliever, Saito will have just marginal Fantasy appeal when healthy. (Updated 05/15/2012).
