UPDATES

Jake Lamb (3B, Arizona Diamondbacks) – Lamb has been pushed back about a week due to the inflammation he developed in his right elbow. He has returned to throwing and may be set for a rehab assignment within a week.

Jonathan Schoop (2B, Baltimore Orioles) – Schoop is reportedly progressing well, but the Orioles appear to be taking things slowly. The current plan is to participate in extended spring training games mid-week, and a rehab assignment on the weekend. If he sticks to these plans Schoop could return early next week.

Josh Donaldson (3B, Toronto Blue Jays – Donaldson began his rehab assignment on Saturday, serving as a DH. Donaldson will need to be able to throw across the diamond in order to return to the Jays lineup. John Gibbons has said he could return as soon as this weekend.

Andrew Miller (RP, Cleveland Indians) – Miller received an MRI on his left hamstring which led to a DL stint. Miller has been able to continue throwing, so he may not miss much time at all. I’ve set his estimated return date to the day he is first eligible to return and I will adjust as additional information becomes available.

Byron Buxton (OF, Minnesota Twins) – Poor Buxton. A recent MRI revealed that the swelling and pain in his toe was due to a hairline fracture. This could add 2-6 weeks to his estimated return depending on the location and severity of the fracture (I’m leaning 2-3 weeks for what it’s worth).

Adam Eaton (OF, Washington Nationals) – Adam Eaton is experiencing continued discomfort in his ankle and does not appear close to a return so I’ve bumped him back another week. He was evaluated by team doctors on Friday, though no concrete information was released.

Daniel Murphy (2B, Washington Nationals) – I got too excited about Murphy and jumped his timetable up too far – sorry! I think a return in mid-to-late May is a possibility.

Anthony Rendon (3B, Washington Nationals) – Rendon continues to miss time due to his toe injury. The Nats have said that he won’t be activated Monday but they are hopeful for a Tuesday return.

Mac Williamson (OF, San Francisco Giants) – Williamson hit the concussion DL. He has taken batting practice and is reportedly doing well. He is eligible to return on 5-5-18.

ADDITIONS

Robbie Ray (SP, Arizona Diamondbacks) – Robbie Ray left his Sunday start with a right oblique strain. No grade has been denoted yet, though I feel this may be a longer absence based on Ray’s reactions. We will get an update prior to the next edition of the injury report.

Julio Teheran (SP, Atlanta Braves) – This sounds very minor and both the Braves and Teheran feel he’ll be able to make his next start.

Danny Valencia (DH, Baltimore Orioles) – Danny Valencia was a late scratch from Sunday’s game, though no reasoning has been given at the time of writing this report.

Luis Sardinas (2B, Baltimore Orioles) – Sardinas will be re-evaluated within the next day or two, and may spend some time on the DL. We should have an update by the next report date.

Mookie Betts (OF, Boston Red Sox) – The Red Sox are confident that this issue is minor and that Betts shouldn’t require a DL stint. Betts should return to regular play prior to the middle of this week.

Brock Holt (INF, Boston Red Sox) – Holt’s timing was impeccable, as he hit the DL just as Xander Bogaerts returned to the Red Sox lineup. I’m expecting Holt to return in just over 2 weeks time.

DJ Lemahieu (2B, Colorado Rockies) – The Rockies will likely re-evaluate Lemahieu prior to Monday’s game, which would inform whether LeMahieu is close to returning or requires a DL stint.

Tyler Anderson (SP, Colorado Rockies) – Anderson dealt with some lightheadedness and shortness of breath so he was removed from his Friday start. Difficult to say what he experienced, but he has since seen several doctors and has been cleared to return.

Miguel Cabrera (3B, Detroit Tigers) – Not totally sure what we have here, though it’s likely nothing. Expect an update at some point on Monday – hopefully, Miggy is in the lineup soon.

Daniel Norris (SP, Detroit Tigers) – The Tigers may be wise to play this slow with Norris, who missed just under two months with a left groin strain last year. Expect an update prior to the game on Monday.

Yasiel Puig (OF, Los Angeles Dodgers) – Puig had a rough time on Saturday incurring foot and hip injuries. X-rays came back negative on his foot, which is being labeled as a contusion. I have seen the term hip pointer thrown around, which is essentially a bone bruise of the bony prominence on either side of the pelvis. We should get a more concrete update within a few days, though I can’t see Puig missing more than 2 or 3 weeks.

Andrelton Simmons (SS, Los Angeles Angels) – Simmons has missed a few games this past week due to forearm soreness as a result of a hit by pitch. Simmons was able to DH on Sunday and should return to regular play on Tuesday.

Shoehei Ohtani (SP/DH, Los Angeles Angels) – Ohtani is slated to throw a bullpen on Monday. If all goes well, he may start on Wednesday or Thursday this week.

Justin Bour (1B, Miami Marlins) – Bour is dealing with some back spasms, which shouldn’t hold him out for too long. Look for him to return sometime early to middle of this week.

Miguel Sano (3B, Minnesota Twins) – Sano is battling some hamstring tightness, which is rather concerning considering his history of lower body injuries. Apparently, Sano was available to pinch hit on Sunday, and his condition had improved compared to Saturday, so this may not require a DL stint. I’m optimistic that Sano will return to regular around the end of this week.

Steven Matz (SP, New York Mets) – Matz dealt with some back stiffness on Saturday which prevented him from throwing his regular bullpen. He was reportedly able to throw that bullpen on Sunday. While he was originally slated to throw on Tuesday this week, it seems likely he’ll be bumped back to a Saturday start.

Ryan Buchter (RP, Oakland Athletics) – Buchter has been shut down from throwing due to a left shoulder strain of an unknown grade. We don’t have a definitive timetable at the moment, but 4-6 weeks is a fair place to start.

J.P. Crawford (SS, Philadelphia Phillies) – I’m not entirely sold on this being a simple forearm strain due to the reports of Crawford experiencing numbness and tingling in his right hand. I’ve slotted him for a 2-4 week timetable for now, but it is subject to change as we gather more information.

Ben Lively (SP, Philadelphia Phillies) – Lively has stated that he’s not experiencing any pain – it’s just that his back is very tight. He may only miss one turn in the rotation. Expect an update on the next injury report.

Wil Myers (1B/OF, San Diego Padres) – I may need to make a second list where Myers and David Wright can hang out and just be injured together. For those of you scoring at home, this is Myers third time on the report this year – second time requiring a DL stint. He is hopeful to only miss ~14 days as he is dealing with a reportedly mild strain.

Joe Panik (2B, San Francisco Giants) – Panik has the option of surgery or conservative treatment which tells us this isn’t a grade 3 sprain. Conservative treatment could have him back faster, but surgery generally yields better – and more predictable – recovery. I expect Panik will be operated on and return around the end of June.

Josh Osich (RP, San Francisco Giants) –No official timetable has been announced, though this doesn’t appear to be a severe injury.

Wilson Ramos (C, Tampa Bay Rays) – Ramos left the game with soreness in his groin – apparently, the Rays caught this before it got too severe. Cash has said that Ramos won’t catch on Monday, though he’s optimistic that Ramos won’t miss much time. Ramos may get time at DH once he’s able to, as I don’t envision a scuffling Brad Miller blocking his way to plate appearances.

Yoenis Cespedes (OF, New York Mets) – It’s difficult to tell definitely due to poor camera angles, but this one looks like a jammed thumb to me rather and a sprained thumb UCL. We will know for sure after Cespedes’ Monday MRI.
