Hunter Greene: Prime Injury Stash Candidate Heading into June

Cincinnati Reds right-hander Hunter Greene (elbow) has not yet pitched in 2026 after undergoing elbow surgery in mid-March. However, the 26-year-old is slated to throw a bullpen on Tuesday and could be nearing the start of a minor league rehab assignment. Greene was one of the best pitchers in baseball in 2025, recording a 7-4 […]

Addison Barger a "Couple Days Away" From Throwing

Toronto Blue Jays third baseman/outfielder Addison Barger (elbow) is "probably still a couple days away from starting throwing," manager John Schneider told Ben Nicholson-Smith of Sportsnet. "It's been a little slower with him." It's been an injury-plagued 2026 campaign for Barger so far this year, as this is the second time he's been on the […]

Shane Bieber Throws Two Innings in First Rehab Start

Toronto Blue Jays right-hander Shane Bieber (elbow) worked two scoreless innings while giving up two hits and striking out three in his first minor-league rehab start on Monday in the Florida Complex League, according to Sportsnet.

Aaron Civale Likely to Land on Injured List With Shoulder/Lat Issue

Athletics right-hander Aaron Civale (shoulder, lat) had another tough outing in Monday's 9-2 loss to the division-rival Seattle Mariners and is expected to be placed on the injured list, manager Mark Kotsay told Theo DeRosa of MLB.com. Civale allowed seven earned runs on nine hits (three homers) while walking one and striking out only two […]

Ryan O'Hearn Does Agility Drills on Monday

Pittsburgh Pirates first baseman/outfielder Ryan O'Hearn (quadriceps) left the game against the Philadelphia Phillies on May 16 after the third inning because of right-quad discomfort and was placed on the 10-day injured list the next day with a right-quad muscle strain. O'Hearn worked in the outfield on Monday with agility/cone drills, according to MLB.com. Barring […]

Too Early to Put a Timetable on Drake Baldwin's Return

Atlanta Braves catcher Drake Baldwin (oblique) is only dealing with a Grade 1 strain of his right oblique muscle, which creates hope that he might be on the 10-day injured list for just one month, but manager Walt Weiss said it's too early to put a timetable on his return, per MLB.com. Baldwin was put […]

Rico Garcia Can Be a Solid Bullpen Addition from the Waiver Wire

Baltimore Orioles relief pitcher Rico Garcia continues to share closing duties with Anthony Nunez while Ryan Helsley (elbow) is on the IL, but he could be lined up for more opportunities in the short term since Nunez has struggled. On Monday, Nunez came on in the eighth against the Rays, and he was charged with […]

Is Emilio Pagan Worth Stashing for Bullpen Depth?

Cincinnati Reds relief pitcher Emilio Pagan (hamstring) tweaked his hamstring while throwing a pitch against the Cubs on May 5. He landed on the injured list with an estimated timetable of 4-to-8 weeks, and since that was almost four weeks ago, it makes sense that he's almost ready to start working his way back. On […]

Tanner Bibee Allows Five Home Runs in Loss, Time to Drop in All Leagues?

Cleveland Guardians starting pitcher Tanner Bibee had a rough outing on Monday night at home against the Nationals, giving up seven runs on eight hits, including five home runs.

Blake Treinen Worth Monitoring in Deeper Leagues?

Los Angeles Dodgers relief pitcher Blake Treinen got his first save of the season on Monday night against the Rockies. He only needed four pitches to get the job done in his team's 5-3, come-from-behind win. Lefty Alex Vesia started the ninth and got two outs, but allowed a single to Willi Castro. When the […]

Seranthony Dominguez Earns Save No. 11, Settling Back into Ninth-Inning Role?

Chicago White Sox relief pitcher Seranthony Dominguez closed out his team's 3-1 win on Monday over Minnesota, and he seems to have shaken off his struggles from earlier this month.
