Hello and welcome!
The major news at this time is that Tommy John surgery has been recommended for Shohei Ohtani. Though it’s not yet been confirmed, I believe he will receive the surgery, which will keep him off the mound until 2020. With that said, I anticipate he will be able to hit next season, should the Angels want him to do so while he rehabs. Players can typically return to batting practice approximately 3 months post-op, which should allow him time to be ready to hit in Spring Training. Further, since hits left and throws right, there is little to no valgus force on the right elbow of a left-handed batter. The exception may be during his follow-through, though this is more of something to monitor and keep in mind than a major concern.
The following players off the list as they were either activated or optioned: Rafael Devers, Tyler Chatwood, Brian Duensing, Ryan LaMarre, Eric Skoglund, Matt Shoemaker, Jarlin Garcia, Elieser Hernandez, Jerad Eickhoff, Luis Perdomo, Kolton Wong, Mallex Smith, Kevin Kiermaier, Hanser Alberto, Erick Fedde, Tommy Milone, and Joe Ross.

ADDITIONS
Kyle Schwarber (OF, Chicago Cubs) – Schwarber tweaked his back. The Cubs will try to avoid the DL though Schwarber may miss a majority of this coming weekend.
Michael Fulmer (SP, Detroit Tigers) – Fulmer is currently expected to make his next start.
Hector Rondon (RP, Houston Astros) – Rondon was struck by a comebacker on his right hand. He may be ready to toe the rubber in some capacity on Friday.
Marwin Gonzalez (OF, Houston Astros) – The Astros will likely be patient with Gonzalez, and he may not return until early next week.
Danny Duffy (SP, Kansas City Royals) – Duffy’s 2018 is over after a recurrence of symptoms due to his previous left shoulder impingement.
Brett Phillips (OF, Kansas City Royals) – Phillips was seen with his shoulder in a sling following Tuesday’s game, though his injury has been listed as a contusion. It is difficult to imagine him returning prior to early next week at this rate.
Martin Prado (3B, Miami Marlins) – Prado hit the DL60 with an abdominal strain and will miss the remainder of the 2018 season.
Miguel Sano (3B, Minnesota Twins) – This is the same leg that has caused Sano issues in the past. At this point, after he missed workouts on Wednesday, it is hard to imagine he returns before early next week.
Kevin Plawecki (C, New York Mets) – X-Rays came back negative. Plawecki should be able to return in a few days.
Devin Mesoraco (C, New York Mets) – Mesoraco has been battling ongoing neck issues. His timetable may get pushed back further.
Shawn Kelley (RP, Oakland Athletics) – Kelley should be able to return to the mound at some point this weekend. He is targeting a Friday return.
Maikel Franco (3B, Philadelphia Phillies) – Franco is battling a right wrist injury. X-rays came back negative, though he is due for an MRI. His timetable may vary drastically pending MRI results, though it would be great to get some information to explain his recent struggles.
Yadier Molina (C, St. Louis Cardinals) – This is currently labeled as hamstring tightness, which should allow Molina to return at some point this weekend.
Tommy Pham (OF, Tampa Bay Rays) – This appears minor, and Pham should return at some point during the Rays’ next series.
Joe Biagini (RP, Toronto Blue Jays) – Biagini’s season is likely over following this oblique injury.
Hey Jeff.
I own Molina and I’ve read he has a strain. Was to miss the weekend series that just ended and now I read he won’t be behind the plate Monday either. I’m wondering if this looks like a DL situation. Hamstring strains can take a while to get better, especially for an older catcher. What are you thoughts? I’m thinking of dropping him this late in the season.
Hi Launch Angle,
Now that it’s being classified as a strain it pushes us to a 2-4 week timetable, potentially on the longer end due to age and the position’s requirements on the player’s lower body. With that said, teams don’t have a lot of incentive to make DL moves in September due to expanded rosters. If there are good options on your wire I would definitely consider dropping Molina.
Best of luck!
