UPDATES

Matt Davidson (3B, Chicago White Sox) – Davidson has missed five games and may have warranted a DL move. He will be re-evaluated on Monday which may lead to a DL move at this rate.

Austin Hedges (C, San Diego Padres) – Hedges pulled himself out of a recent rehab game due to renewed elbow soreness and will be shut down from throwing for a while.

ADDITIONS

Ronald Acuna Jr. (OF, Atlanta Braves) – Since no MRI results have been released at the time of writing this, I went with a very general DTD and a return at the end of this month. I don’t anticipate this to be the case. To me, it looks like a sprained LCL as well as a sprained PCL since the leg was extended as the injury occurred. I anticipate surgery for Acuna which will realistically have him out of action for approximately 3 months. Let’s hope he is extremely lucky and avoids that scenario.

Mookie Betts (OF, Boston Red Sox) – I feel that Mookie Betts makes a brief appearance on this list every weekend and leaves to hit more dingers immediately after. I’m hopeful that this is a similar case, though the left oblique is engaged when swinging from the right side of the plate and this could end up as a strain rather than mere tightness.

Ian Happ (OF, Chicago Cubs) – This sounds minor and Happ should return to the lineup in the first half of this week.

Yu Darvish (SP, Chicago Cubs) – Darvish will undergo an MRI on Tuesday which will give us a better idea of how long he’ll be out.

Andrew Miller (RP, Cleveland Indians) – Miller has had a rough go since his return from a left hamstring strain. He is currently dealing with inflammation in his right knee, which may have been contributing to his struggles. I expect him to return in approximately 2 weeks.

Leury Garcia (OF, Chicago White Sox) – I presume additional imaging is forthcoming for Garcia, which will tell us what structure is injured and to what degree.

Eric Skoglund (SP, Kansas City Royals) – Skoglund didn’t tear his UCL, so non-surgical management may be an option. I presume he’ll go under the knife and we’ll see him in the middle of 2019.

Justin Upton (OF, Los Angeles Angels) – Upton is expected to return in a day or two after being hit by a pitch on his left forearm.

Martin Prado (3B, Miami Marlins) – Prado is expected to miss at least two months with his most recent hamstring injury.

Wilmer Flores (1B, New York Mets) – Flores is set to undergo tests on his sore back, which will let us know how long he’ll be out. A trip to the DL seems rather likely.

A.J. Ramos (RP, New York Mets) – Much like Flores, Ramos is set to undergo tests on his injury. Much like Flores, I’m anticipating a DL stint.

Santiago Casilla (RP, Oakland Athletics) – Casilla has dealt with a shoulder injury earlier this year. There is currently no clear timetable for his return.

Francisco Cervelli (C, Pittsburgh Pirates) – Cervelli is dealing with flu-like symptoms and should return within a day or two.

Felipe Vasquez (RP, Pittsburgh Pirates) – Vazquez dealt with forearm discomfort. I’d expect an update during the first half of this week which may include a DL stint. We’re obviously hoping that this remains in the forearm and does not involve Vasquez’s elbow.

Ivan Nova (SP, Pittsburgh Pirates) – Nova is hopeful to make his next start, though he is currently taping his finger for support and won’t be able to do so during Tuesday’s game.

Franchy Cordero (OF, San Diego Padres) – Cordero is expected to head to the disabled list with lingering forearm soreness.

Jean Segura (SS, Seattle Mariners) – Segura is hopeful to return on Monday – it sounds as though he has passed all concussion testing and will be a game-time decision based on how he is feeling prior to Monday’s game.

Nick Vincent (RP, Seattle Mariners) – It sounds as though Vincent will miss approximately a month with this groin strain.

Buster Posey (C, San Francisco Padres) – This hip issue sounds minor enough that Posey may be able to start on Monday.

Dexter Fowler (OF, St. Louis Cardinals) – Fowler was plunked on Saturday but should be able to return in the first half of this week.

Greg Holland (RP, St. Louis Cardinals) – This doesn’t sound like a minimum DL stint to me as hip impingement typically leads to surgery to relieve the issue. Holland may get by with physiotherapy and a cortisone shot, but the Cardinals haven’t outlined their plans at this moment.

    A little confused about Miggy. They said he could’ve actually returned today. You have 10 more days here though.

    • Jeff Davis says:

      Hi Jeff,

      The most recent update that I found was that Miggy is still working on running the bases. I believe he will return during this homestand, though I feel it will be on the latter end of it. Additionally, Gardenhire has said that Miggy won’t be activated until he is ready to play an entire game. I think he will get there soon, but that still feels like a leap rather than a step from his current level of functioning after dealing with concurrent back/hip/hamstring injuries. I hope I’m wrong – baseball deserves to have a healthy Miggy.

      Thank you for the thoughtful question!

  2. Southern Marylander says:

    As an Orioles fan, I approve of the 10y estimate for Chris Tillman’s return.

    • Jeff Davis says:

      After a prolonged laughing fit I made the necessary adjustment.

      Thank you for catching that!

  3. Devin says:

    Do you know anything new about Danny Salazar? I know he received an injection around May 8 and was shutdown, but I haven’t heard anything since.

    • Jeff Davis says:

      Hi Devin,

      The Indians don’t have a handle on it. Salazar returned to throwing about a week after that injection but was quickly shut down again. It seems to be some sort of impingement issue that they’re not able to successfully manage at this point. It’s becoming increasingly difficult to have Salazar clog a DL spot in leagues where you have limited spaces. There’s no clear expectation for a return at this point.

      Thanks for the question!

  4. Play Ball says:

    Jeff,
    What can you tell me about Syndergaard’s strained index finger (severity, surgery necessary, amount of time off)?

    • Jeff Davis says:

      Hi Play Ball,

      I can tell you I’m upset to lose my ace for a few weeks… I haven’t been able to find a report which states which ligament is injured, and there are quite a few in the finger that could be at play here. Thor is wearing a splint, which is reported to only be on his finger (not finger and hand). This leads me to believe that the affected joint is one of the two in the finger proper, which are generally very stable and heal well so long as there isn’t a concurrent fracture (which hasn’t been reported).

      Long story short, I think he’ll probably be in the splint for approximately two weeks and we’ll see where we’re at then. From that point patients typically complete light activity and stop wearing a splint for 4 weeks before returning to normal functioning – that timetable may be different for an MLB pitcher, but it’s a good guideline for now.

      Thanks for the question!

      • Play Ball says:

        Read on another fantasy site that this is the type of injury that can sideline a pitcher for a very long time, perhaps the rest of the season…and doesn’t believe the Mets that he could be back after 10 days. I’m also a Thor owner and concerned. Any further revelations or comments about what I read on the other site?

        • Jeff Davis says:

          Anything is possible with the Mets. To be quite honest I wish they’d leave him alone for a week or two to actually heal – especially after they mismanaged him last year.

          As for the information provided by the other fantasy site, I don’t think I can agree with that assessment. It doesn’t line up with what I’ve seen in my practice or what we’ve seen of previous pitchers. Checking through past injuries, we’ve had Madson, Barnette, and Velasquez go down with what was deemed to be a ‘sprained finger in throwing hand’. Madson and Velasquez were later found to have nerve/impingement related issues at a site other than the finger – so they didn’t suffer from what Thor has reportedly experienced. Barnette, on the other hand, returned after 16 days from a sprained ligament in his finger in July of 2017. So long as what is being reported about Syndergaard is factual (which I believe it to be considering he received an MRI which spotted the ligament sprain) and the Mets don’t mess this up, I believe he should return within a few weeks.

          I hope this cleared up my reasoning – all the best, and may our Ace return to us soon!

          • Play Ball says:

            Thanks for the additional information. Appreciate the explanation. Sounds like maybe 3-4 starts then.

  5. Let's Play Two says:

    As a Kershaw owner, what could I expect from him ROS with a bicep tendon issue? Another DL stint likely down the road this season?
