'Ian Kinsler is not in the Tigers' lineup Friday.
It looks to be a routine day off.'

ROUTINE?
After 4 days off?
How, in any world can that be considered 'routine' ?

Edit-
'Daniel Murphy is not in the Nationals' lineup Friday.
Murphy started Tuesday's All-Star Game and is getting an extra day of rest'

The wussification of America is spreading to the pussification of its athletes.

Had the same reaction, Dan. Not pleased with Daniel Murphy's "rest" day. I thought that was the purpose of the All-Star break. Yeah, I get that traveling can be a pain in the ass. Still, Murphy was off on Monday, played a few innings in the game on Tuesday and has been off Wednesday and Thursday. He needs to have a "rest day" on Friday? Really?

While on the subject, and recognizing that it impacts all fantasy owners, I was equally pissed with a number of my guys being rested last Saturday and Sunday. They really need a day of rest going into the All-Star break? Wouldn't want them tired on their days off. Do teams really not care about putting the best team out on the field in a game that counts just so a player can be well-rested for the All-Star game, or be rested going into the four off days if not an all-star? If a player is hurt, OK, I can understand, but otherwise "wussification" and "pussification" seem very apt in this context.

In Kinsler's case, it is just mediocre reporting by RotoWorld. He is ill.
Routine.
