Latest news and rumors on Jonathan Lucroy Injury Update updated May 20, 2013
CBSSports.com Fantasy With a .216 batting average and just two doubles, Brewers catcher Jonathan Lucroy has been a major letdown in Fantasy through the first month and a half. It hasn't helped that he is hitless on the 34 flyballs that he has put in play (excluding homers) so far this season. Last year, Lucroy got 23 of his 33 extra-base hits either up the middle or to the opposite field, and that's where he has hit most of his deepest flies this season, as shown on the spray charts on TexasLeaguers.com. It's only a matter of time before he finds the gaps and hits a few more balls over the wall. And don't worry abo...
May 16, 2013CBSSports.com Fantasy Arguably the biggest factor contributing to Brewers catcher Jonathan Lucroy's slow start this season has been his inability to handle left-handed pitching.

In his previous three seasons, Lucroy hit nearly half of his home runs against lefties, despite having fewer than 25 percent of his plate appearances against them. That trend has flipped so far this season, as he has yet to hit a home run in 33 at bats, with a .273 batting average...

Cut to black. The light...
