Fantasy Analysis
Hawkins remains on target to return to the Angels bullpen in early June after his stint on the disabled list. The veteran right-hander recorded a save in his only opportunity before the injury as Los Angeles cobbled together options in the ninth inning. Fantasy owners should keep him off rosters in the majority of formats while he's sidelined. (Updated 05/22/2012).

04/22/2012 23:18 The Lineup: Kyle Lohse acting as Cards' ace; Royals disappointment
St. Louis right-hander Kyle Lohse picked up his third win of the season despite seeing his ERA rise to 0.99 thanks to a run in seven-plus innings. Meanwhile, the Royals dropped their 10th straight game.
After missing most of the 2010 campaign due to a shoulder injury, LaTroy Hawkins had a solid bounce-back campaign for the Brewers a year ago. He got a bit of a late start to the season while recovering, but posted a 0.78 ERA over his first 25 appearances and ended the year with a 2.42 mark. He posted a 28-to-10 strikeout-to-walk ratio in 48 1/3 innings and went 3-1 in 52 appearances. The right-hander signed with the Angels in the offseason and is expected to be the setup man for closer Jordan Walden. While he could see a couple of save chances in 2012, his value in Fantasy will likely be limited by his role. Target Hawkins in AL-only formats and leagues that use middle men on Draft Day.
