Dexter Fowler said Friday than an MRI revealed that he has a sprain behind his left knee. An earlier report indicated that an MRI came back clean, but that's apparently not the case. It's unclear how much time Fowler will need to miss, but fantasy owners should secure a backup plan.

An MRI on Dexter Fowler's left knee came back negative. He's still expected to miss the next few games, but Fowler has avoided a serious injury. The outfielder hurt himself during Monday's game when he jammed the knee while trying to steal second base.

Dexter Fowler (knee) is scheduled to undergo an MRI on his ailing left knee. Fowler was diagnosed with a left knee bruise on Wednesday, that he suffered while attempting to steal a base during Monday's game. The injury isn't improving as quickly as they anticipated, so they'll get the MRI as a precautionary measure to rule out any serious injury.

Dexter Fowler wore the golden sombrero in Thursday's loss to the Phillies, though he did manage a sac fly to go along with the four strikeouts. Fowler had his average up over .300 in mid-June, but it's down to .266 now. He also has just four homers since May 1 after hitting eight during the first month of the year. It's not to say he's been worthless -- he's still scoring runs and stealing bases -- but those expecting him to be a top-20 outfielder after his big April have been disappointed.

Dexter Fowler went 3-for-4 with a double, two walks, four RBI and two runs scored in Monday's 14-2 romp over the Padres. Fowler entered the game batting just .143 with no extra-base hits in August, so this outburst was nice to see. The center fielder owns a nice .266/.374/.429 slash line with 12 homers and 17 steals in 97 games.

Dexter Fowler had two hits, two RBI, a walk and a steal in the Rockies' 6-4 defeat of the Pirates on Saturday. Those are the first RBI since July 28 for Fowler, who recently had his OPS fall under .800 for the first time all season. He should bounce back and be a useful mixed-league outfielder the rest of the way, but those who bought high on him after his big April are struggling right now.

Dexter Fowler went 0-for-3 with a walk Friday against the Brewers. Fowler is now hitting just .159 (7-for-44) with three extra-base hits in 12 games since coming off the disabled list. The 27-year-old is no stranger to peaks and valleys, so fantasy owners will have to hope that another hot streak is in his future.
