UPDATES

Randall Delgado (RP, Arizona Diamondbacks) – Delgado’s velocity has been down in his rehab outings, so he was checked out my team doctors on 4-20-18. He has thrown two-innings in his last rehab appearance and should be good to return to play if the DBacks feel it’s appropriate.

Jake Lamb (3B, Arizona Diamondbacks) – Lamb was eyeing a return on Tuesday (4-24-18) but had an MRI on his right elbow which revealed inflammation in his triceps tendon. That’s not good at all. Lamb may be out well into May at this rate.

Josh Donaldson (3B, Toronto Blue Jays) – This keeps looking worse and worse. I’ve heard some unconfirmed rumours that Donaldson injured his shoulder as a result of a fall during the offseason. That is helpful to explain what’s going on but doesn’t really help us craft an accurate timetable.

Anthony Rendon (3B, Washington Nationals) – What a mess. Rendon has finally been placed on the DL. He will return on 4-29-18 at the earliest.

ADDITIONS

Trey Mancini (1B/OF, Baltimore Orioles) – Mancini slammed his right knee into the unpadded part of a wall during an attempt at a sliding catch. There is reportedly no structural damage, but his knee will be sore, swollen, and stiff for a few more days. I’m guessing he will return in the middle of next week – hopefully by Wednesday.

Kris Bryant (3B, Chicago Cubs) – This looked ugly, and hopefully Bryant is alright. Bryant passed concussion protocol and appears to be fine, but I imagine he will be monitored very closely over the next 24 hours. There is a chance that he returns Tuesday after the Cubs off-day on Monday.

Bradley Zimmer (OF, Cleveland Indians) – With no reported injury date and the Indians saying this is mild I don’t expect to see Zimmer out for long.

Danny Farquhar (RP, Chicago White Sox) – Not a lot to say here. The baseball world collectively hopes for the best for Danny Farquhar and his family.

Rich Hill (SP, Los Angeles Dodgers) – Rich Hill is dealing with a broken fingernail on his left middle finger. For those curious, that is the finger that provides pressure to impart spin to throw a curveball. This could be a long-standing issue, or it could be the Dodgers looking for a reason to skip a Hill start and keep him fresh. Current estimates suggest he’ll only miss one start.

Odrisamer Despaigne (RP, Miami Marlins) – Limited details are available at this time, and the timetable could vary wildly based on imaging and other testing.

Chris O’Grady (RP, Miami Marlins) – Limited information available and no timetable has been provided.

Orlando Arcia (SS, Milwaukee Brewers) – Appears very minor, and Arcia expects to return to play on 4-24-18. He has already run the bases and fielded grounders without issue. X-rays came back negative.

Todd Frazier (3B, New York Mets) – Frazier missed Sunday’s game but was due for an off-day anyway, so this appears to be very minor. I’d expect him to return to the lineup on Tuesday (4-24-18).

Adam Warren (RP, New York Yankees) – No grade of strain has been identified. Warren finished his Friday outing (reportedly when he injured his lat), so this does not appear to be anything more than grade 1. He should return sometime in early May.

Hunter Renfroe (OF, San Diego Padres) – Apparently Renfroe was battling pain and discomfort for quite a while prior to this DL stint. We’ll get a more concrete update as he progresses, but this seems as though it may be more than a minimum DL stay.

Dee Gordon (OF, Seattle Mariners) – Apparently very minor and Gordon was due for an off-day anyway. He should return to the lineup on Monday (4-23-18) and is even available off the bench on Sunday.

Hunter Pence (OF, San Francisco Giants) – MRI results have not been reported, but I’m guessing that we’re dealing with a grade 1 sprain. Hopefully, we get more updates as things progress.

Adam Wainwright (SP, St. Louis Cardinals) – Waino is anticipating a minimal DL stint, and the retroactive move supports his assertion. I’m remaining cautious for now but will move him up as appropriate.

Carlos Tocci (OF, Texas Rangers) – Limited information available on this hip contusion, but Tocci lost his job anyway with DeShields making a miraculous return weeks ahead of his timetable.

Matt Grace (RP, Washington Nationals) – Limited information is available – Grace should return within 2-4 weeks.
