He pitched 6 and 2/3 innings of shutout baseball, allowing only three hits, two walks, and striking out one. Granted, it was the Phillies, but this was an encouraging start nonetheless. Nova was touching 95 mph on the gun, and could be a solid guy to round o[...]Keep on reading: Ivan Nova (NYY, SP) – Waiver Wire Pickups

This article references A, Ivan Nova, SP and more! Ivan Nova had a great return from Tommy John surgery with 6 2/3 shutout innings over the Philadelphia Phillies.

Sprains, strains, and surgeries. These three words make chills run down the spine of even the most hardened fantasy player. They're the little “what if” clause hanging over every fantasy season, that thing you just can't ever really predict no matter how much pre-draft research you do. Like it or not, being able to properly deal with injuries is one of the main separators between casual fantasy players and league champions. Given the importance of this aspect of the game, I'll be devoting[...]Keep on reading: MLB Injury Updates for Fantasy Baseball: Holliday, Miller, Pence, Zimmerman, VMart, Mesoraco
