Hello and welcome to the Rotowire Fantasy Baseball podcast. My name is Chris Crawford. Thanks so much for joining us. Today is Saturday, August 26th. I am joined by my buddy, Drew Silva. I don't know why I called you by your full name there, but we're pretty excited about some Notre Dame football today, aren't we?

Yeah, man.

We've got college game day here on my tablet.

Everything's right in the world.

Finally, like the six straight days of 115 plus heat index has broken here in St. Louis,

and it's actually raining, which I'll take.

It's a beautiful day to watch Notre Dame, hopefully take care of Navy out in Dublin. And I mean, yeah,

Felix Batista is currently undergoing tests after exiting Friday's appearance against the Rockies

due to right arm discomfort.

It came after he delivered a fastball that was clocked at 102.3 miles per hour.

There weren't more many specifics about what the injury is, Drew, but this is potentially a

massive blow for arguably the best closer in baseball.

Yeah. It's a hard one to talk about because we just we just don't know enough yet.

But I don't know. It certainly didn't look good when you fire off a 102.3 mile per hour fastball and then feel something in your arm and then you exit the field.

And now he's undergoing imaging scans. it would obviously be a huge blow to

the Orioles a huge blow to fantasy managers who are trying to lock down a championship and
