UPDATES

Jason Castro (C, Minnesota Twins) – Castro’s surgery was reportedly a season-ender. He will look to get back to it in 2019.

Starling Marte (OF, Pittsburgh Pirates) – Marte ended up hitting the DL. The Pirates currently estimate that he will return when first eligible.

Alex Reyes (SP, St. Louis Cardinals) – Reyes is expected to make a rehab start in Triple-A on Thursday, which puts him on track to join the Cards rotation on 5-29-18 at the earliest.

Adam Wainwright (SP, St. Louis Cardinals) – Wainwright was transferred to the DL60 with renewed inflammation in his right elbow.

Hunter Pence(OF, San Francisco Giants) – Pence has reportedly changed his batting mechanics and figures to take about 2-weeks of at-bats to continue to work on that mechanical change prior to returning to the MLB.

Nathan Eovaldi (SP, Tampa Bay Rays) – Eovaldi is set to return on Monday 5-28-18, though he doesn’t appear to have stretched out in his rehab starts thus far (6IP in 3 starts).

Matt Wieters (C, Washington Nationals) – Wieters underwent a procedure on his injured left hamstring. The current expectation is that he will miss approximately 6 weeks from the date of the operation.

ADDITIONS

Steven Souza (OF, Arizona Diamondbacks) – Souza is dealing with a pectoral strain once again. The last one held him out for 6 weeks, though he reports that this one is ‘less serious’. He also experienced a setback during his rehab during that DL stint. I expect Souza to hit the DL again – we’ll find out on Monday

Mike Soroka (SP, Atlanta Braves) – Soroka felt some tightness in the back of his right shoulder, which prompted the DL move. Soroka pitched through this on 5-13-18 – he’s lucky he didn’t do more harm in the process. The Braves currently plan to have Soroka start one minor league game before returning to the rotation – don’t be surprised if they take it a bit slower than that.

Nick Delmonico (OF, Chicago White Sox) – Delmonico will miss about 4-6 weeks with this fracture, barring any setbacks.

Derek Fisher (OF, Houston Astros) – This DL stint may give Fisher the opportunity to iron out some issues. It doesn’t seem like a major issue at this point.

Cheslor Cuthbert (3B, Kansas City Royals) – This still sounds minor, and KC doesn’t expect Cuthbert to remain out for much more than the minimum.

Alex Wood (SP, Los Angeles Dodgers) – Wood cramped up during his Sunday start. There’s currently no indication that he will miss his next start.

Rich Hill (SP, Los Angeles Dodgers) – Poor Hill. The Dodgers have stated they expect him out for about 4 weeks to ensure he gets plenty of rest and is able to heal effectively.

Rene Rivera (C, Los Angeles Angels) – The Angels haven’t released a timetable yet, but I expect him to be out quite a while as catching is very difficult on the knees.

Joe Mauer (1B, Minnesota twins) – Mauer has an extensive history of concussions, so he may miss a decent bit of time here. The Twins should provide an update on Monday.

Khris Davis (DH, Oakland Athletics) – Davis left Sunday’s game early with an apparent groin injury. Expect an update on Monday – hopefully, Davis can skip the DL.

Brett Anderson (SP, Oakland Athletics) – The oft-injured Anderson will likely miss an extended period.

Andrew Triggs (SP, Oakland Athletics) – Triggs experienced some nerve-related discomfort in his right hand during his Thursday outing. There is currently no indication what the issue is, but it’s a pretty safe bet to assume it’s trouble with his median nerve – where and why are the important questions. Expect an update within a few days that should provide more information.

Andrew McCutchen (OF, San Francisco Giants) – Cutch left Saturday’s game early due to a knee contusion. He should return on Tuesday.

Paul DeJong (SS, St. Louis Cardinals) – DeJong took this like a champ, and just watching his reaction you’d have no clue he just sustained a fracture. Anyway, it’s curious to me that a plate and screws were warranted to the support the fracture, though I don’t think it will affect his timetable in either direction. Expect DeJong to return in 4-6 weeks. Hopefully, he maintains the same power once he returns.

Matt Bowman (RP, St. Louis Cardinals) – Bowman is dealing with two blisters on his right hand. He’s got a shot to return once first eligible, though recent ineffectiveness may be incentive to hold him out for a bit longer.

Carson Kelly (C, St. Louis Cardinals) – Details regarding Kelly’s injury and prognosis are scarce. The earliest he is eligible to return is 5-26-18.

Adeiny Hechavarria (SS, Tampa Bay Rays) – The Rays had hoped that Hechavarria would avoid the DL, though it didn’t work out that way. There is a shot he comes off the DL when first eligible.

Cole Hamels (SP, Texas Rangers) – Hamels is battling some neck stiffness and all I can think of his Austin Powers. Hamels will reportedly start during the Rangers’ upcoming series against the Yankees.

Matt Moore (SP, Texas Rangers) – Considering the description of the injury, that Moore threw 92 pitches in his final start and an inability to tie this injury to any specific event, this feels like a bit of a designed break for Moore. His 7.99 ERA would be a reason to have him skip a start or two.

Jaime Garcia (SP, Toronto Blue Jays) – No official timetable has been provided for Garcia, and we may not have a concrete timetable until he resumes throwing. The rule news is this gives a prolonged opportunity for Big Joe!

Ryan Madson (RP, Washington Nationals) – There’s been no official degree of strain provided. Madson’s timetable will vary based on how long he’s shut down from throwing. Madson’s DL stint was made retroactive to 5-17-18, so the Nats feel he may be able to return by that date.

Howie Kendrick (OF, Washington Nationals) – Kendrick will undergo surgery to repair a torn Achille’s tendon. He will look forward to a productive 2019.

    It looks like unfortunately Khris Davis is going to hit the DL. Since you were hoping he’s not going to do you see it as being more than 10 days? This is a huge blow to my team. Need him back playing ASAP
