Injury Report 5/3: Every Player’s DL Situation

Hello and welcome!

This update saw quite a few additions, as it seems a large segment of the league coordinated to incur elbow injuries and keep me up very late on Wednesday night. The updates available can be summed up as frustration with the Nats training staff.

The following players have returned to regular play or optioned and have been taken off the report: Mark Trumbo, Danny Valencia, Mookie Betts, Tyler Anderson, Carlos Gonzalez, Adalberto Mondesi, Shohei Ohtani, Andrelton Simmons, Justin Bour, J.T. Riddle, Dan Straily, Yoenis Cespedes, Clint Frazier, Will Smith, Matt Duffy, and Wilson Ramos.

Let’s check out the table:

UPDATES

Zach Britton (RP, Baltimore Orioles) – It’s about time I cave. Britton has thrown off a regulation mound without concern. He will continue to ramp things up, and could jump his expected return forward another week or two before all is said and done. Returning near the start of June is not out of the question.

Daniel Norris (SP, Detroit Tigers) – Norris is expected to miss 8-12 weeks with following a surgical procedure to relieve pressure from his injured groin. He is expected to head to the DL60.

Brandon Drury (3B, New York Yankees) – Drury is reportedly still experiencing symptoms (migraines, blurred vision) during his minor league rehab assignment. The Yankees are also not likely in a rush to speed him along with MAndujar hitting well.

Josh Donaldson (3B, Toronto Blue Jays) – Donaldson is expected to come off the DL on Thursday. I’m extremely curious to see how he throws across the diamond.

Adam Eaton (OF, Washington Nationals) – Did the Nats hire the Mets old training staff? Eaton is now in a walking boot and isn’t expected to return anytime soon.

Anthony Rendon (3B, Washington Nationals) – Rendon continues to miss time, though he is expected to head out for a rehab assignment ’soon’… The Nats are frustrating.

Daniel Murphy (2B, Washington Nationals) – Murphy is still experiencing discomfort in his surgically repaired knee, and may need more time.

 

ADDITIONS

Shane Carle (RP, Atlanta Braves) – Carle reportedly dealt with some numbness in his right index finger and thumb. This can sometimes be caused by inflammation of the anterior forearm – I feel that’s what has gone on here. Carle is reportedly asymptomatic and should be able to return to action when called upon.

Chance Sisco (C, Baltimore Orioles) – Sisco took a bonk to the head from Pedro Alvarez and went through concussion protocol. He has been cleared to return and should do so at some point this week.

Scooter Gennett (2B, Cincinnati Reds) – Gennett received an MRI on his right shoulder which revealed no structural damage. He has been pinch-hitting despite not being a regular in the starting lineup. Things should clear up for the start of next week when I’d expect him to return to regular play.

Jose Ramirez (2B/3B, Cleveland Indians) – Ramirez is currently expected to be in the lineup for Thursday’s doubleheader.

Yoan Moncada (2B, Chicago White Sox) – Moncada left Wednesday’s game after an awkward slide. The initial concern was that he suffered a knee injury, but he is reportedly dealing with hamstring tightness instead. I expect the White Sox will take this slow as they aren’t playing for a whole lot right now. Further investigation should provide us with a more accurate timetable within a few days. For now, I’ve got him slated for a timetable that reflects a bit of tightness that he may work through within a couple of days.

Corey Seager (SS, Los Angeles Dodgers) – Not a ton to say here. I hope Corey has a strong return in 2019.

Nick Tropeano (SP, Los Angeles Angels) – Tropeano has had a successful start to his 2018 campaign despite reportedly battling shoulder inflammation ‘for a while’. Hopefully, it clears up with a minimum DL stint, but 2-4 weeks is probably more realistically. I’m leaning towards the 2-week end of that timetable.

Kenyan Middleton (RP, Los Angeles Angels) – Middleton has said that his symptoms have resolved after experiencing soreness the day after his most recent outing. I’m inclined to buy into that narrative for now, but keep in mind this is a 24-year-old who has recently been trusted with a closer role, and he’s probably in a rush to return and retain that closer role. Let’s monitor this closely.

Jordan Montgomery (SP, New York Yankees) – Montgomery will undergo further testing, though it sounds like he avoided any structural damage to his elbow. We’ll likely get an update from the Yankees within a few days, though any timetable will be an estimate until he’s ready to resume throwing.

Scott Kingery (2B/SS, Philadelphia Phillies) – Kingery wore 98 off the inside of his right elbow and walked away with a contusion. He will likely re-enter the Phillies lineup this weekend.

Victor Arano (RP, Philadelphia Phillies) – Reportedly mild, so I’ve got him listed to miss between 2 weeks and 1 month. We will get updates as he inches closer to those dates.

Enny Romero (RP, Pittsburgh Pirates) – The Bucs were about to DFA Romero before his agent informed them that he suffered an injury during his last outing. Double bummer.

Austin Hedges (C, San Diego Padres) – Hedges was pulled from Monday’s game with elbow tendinitis. The Padres haven’t released much information, and I’m working under the expectation that it’s a mild case until more details are available.

Erasmo Ramirez (SP, Seattle Mariners) – Erasmo Ramirez is hitting the DL with a teres major strain. I’m expecting him to roughly split the 4-8 week timetable, though that could change once we figure out a degree of the strain. More updates to come.

Dan Altavilla (RP, Seattle Mariners) – AC Joint sprains can take anywhere from 2 weeks to a month to recover from depending on severity. The Mariners don’t appear overly concerned, so I’m leaning toward the 2-week end of the timetable.

Andrew McCutchen (OF, San Francisco Giants) – The Giants feel that McCutchen will return to the lineup on Friday. So far it’s being listed as a contusion. X-rays came back negative and no signs of nerve irritation (like Schebler experienced) have been noted.

Johnny Cueto (SP, San Francisco Giants) – I have no idea about this one as the Giants haven’t provided a ton of information. Cueto has been listed as experiencing right elbow inflammation but I’ve also heard reports of Tommy John being an option. Apparently, we will get more information at the start of next week, but I have a feeling this won’t go well for Cueto.

Yonny Chirinos (SP, Tampa Bay Rays) – Chirinos will see team doctors on Thursday and we’ll have a more concrete idea of his timetable then.

Chris Martin (RP, Texas Rangers) – There is currently no timetable for Martin’s return as little information is currently available.

Martin Perez (SP, Texas Rangers) – Perez has inflammation in his surgically repaired right (non-throwing elbow). I’m not overly concerned and he should be able to keep throwing throughout his DL stint. I’m expecting he’ll be close to a minimum stay.

Steve Pearce (OF, Toronto Blue Jays) – Jays are making up terms. Sounds like Pearce is experiencing some tightness in his intercostals. Monitor this going forward, but I presume he’ll be available for the start of next week.

Randal Grichuk (OF, Toronto Blue Jays) – The Jays have listed a timetable of 3 weeks, so we’ll roll with that for now. If I’m the Jays though I’d give Grichuk a full 20-day rehab stint to try to figure some things out. They have the outfield depth for it.

Jacob deGrom (SP, New York Mets) – It’s pretty likely that deGrom will make his next start. He’ll undergo a precautionary MRI Thursday and we’ll know for sure at that point. A DL10 stint to skip a start may be a possibility as well. Good thing pitchers hit.

Hyun-Jin Ryu (SP, Los Angeles Dodgers) – At the time of writing this there wasn’t a video clip available on the MLB website of the injury. I presume we’ll find out more information on Thursday which will inform a proper timetable.
