Blue Jackets' Emil Bemstrom: Placed on IR, out 4-6 weeks

Bemstrom was placed on injured reserve Thursday and is expected to be sidelined for 4-6 weeks with a left oblique strain.

Bemstrom only picked up five points in 20 games with the Blue Jackets last season, so his absence won't impact many fantasy lineups. The 22-year-old forward will need to be activated off injured reserve before making his season debut, so expect another update on his status once that occurs.
