FANTASY INSIGHT:
Twins P Joe Nathan was diagnosed with what was termed a "significant tear" to the ulnar collateral ligament in his right elbow.

Instead, he will rest and rehab, working to build up the elbow over the next week or two. After that time period, Nathan will make a determination if he can pitch with the injury or will need an operation to repair the tear. (MLB.com)
