CBSSports.com Fantasy Mike Leake staved off the challenge posed by rookie Tony Cingrani, as it was Cingrani who lost his rotation (and roster) spot when the Reds brought Johnny Cueto off the disabled list on Monday. He's 4-2 with a career-best 3.25 ERA to date, so at least on the surface, Leake has done everything possible to justify his continued inclusion in the Cincinnati rotation. Two numbers in Leake's stat line look a little out of place, though. Specifically, he has stranded 79 percent of his baserunners, while his previous career high was 76 percent, and he has allowed only five home runs over 55 1/3 inning...

May 16, 2013CBSSports.com Fantasy Reds starting pitcher Mike Leake made a compelling case to remain in the rotation Wednesday, as he tossed 6 2/3 scoreless innings to win his third decision of the year. Sure, it only came against the Marlins, but it should be enough to at least make the team have to think about their looming decision regarding Leake and Tony Cingrani's futures in the rotation. From a Fantasy perspective, we have to believe Cingrani gets the team's vote, but he is dealing with a minor shoulder injury that could tip the scales in Leake's direction. Even if Leake remains in the rotation, he is just a 4.24 career ...
