Bryce Harper Likely To Need Surgery

Philadelphia Phillies outfielder Bryce Harper (thumb) is likely to need surgery to fix his fractured left thumb, but the good news is that he plans to be back this year. Harper's thumb was broken on a pitch by San Diego Padres lefty Blake Snell last Saturday, and the Phillies put Harper on the injured list […]

Trevor Larnach To Have Core Muscle Surgery

Minnesota Twins outfielder Trevor Larnach (core) will have bilateral surgery to fix his core muscle injury, according to president of baseball operations Derek Falvey. The Twins are hoping that Larnach can return in roughly six weeks. The 25-year-old landed on the injured list on Saturday after already missing time in 2022 with a groin injury. […]

Jarren Duran, Tanner Houck Put On Restricted List

The Boston Red Sox placed outfielder Jarren Duran and relief pitcher Tanner Houck on the restricted list on Monday and recalled right-hander Connor Seabold from Triple-A Worcester and selected the contract of infielder Yolmer Sanchez from Worcester in corresponding moves. Duran and Houck remain unvaccinated for COVID-19, so they'll be unavailable for the series in […]

Gleyber Torres Receives Injection In Wrist

New York Yankees middle infielder Gleyber Torres' (ankle, wrist) ankle is doing well, but he underwent an MRI exam on his right wrist on Monday. His wrist is structurally sound, but he received a cortisone injection and is unlikely to swing a bat until Wednesday. Torres suffered a mild ankle sprain in Sunday's win over […]

Kris Bryant Activated Monday

The Colorado Rockies reinstated outfielder Kris Bryant (back) from the 10-day injured list on Monday and reinstated left-hander Ty Blach from the 15-day injured list. Bryant is back in left field and is hitting third on Monday against Los Angeles Dodgers left-hander Tyler Anderson. On a four-game minor league rehab assignment with Triple-A Albuquerque, Bryant […]

Aroldis Chapman To Make Another Rehab Appearance

New York Yankees relief pitcher Aroldis Chapman (Achilles) will make another rehab appearance for Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on Tuesday before he's activated from the injured list.

The Miami Marlins activated third baseman Brian Anderson (back) from the injured list on Monday and optioned Luke Williams to Triple-A Jacksonville in a corresponding move. Anderson is immediately back in the starting lineup on Monday against St. Louis Cardinals right-hander Adam Wainwright, starting at third base and hitting seventh in the batting order. The […]

Jazz Chisholm Jr. Out Again Monday

Miami Marlins second baseman Jazz Chisholm Jr. is out of the starting lineup again on Monday against the St. Louis Cardinals. Chisholm will miss his second straight game after recently returning from a bout with back spasms. There's a good chance that the 24-year-old still isn't feeling quite 100%, but hopefully he'll be back in […]

Gleyber Torres Not In Lineup Monday

New York Yankees middle infielder Gleyber Torres (ankle) is not in the starting lineup on Monday against the Oakland Athletics. Torres will take a seat after suffering a mild ankle sprain in Sunday's win over the Houston Astros. There's a chance that he misses Tuesday's game as well, but the Yankees are confident that his […]

Sergio Romo Joins Blue Jays

The Toronto Blue Jays signed free-agent relief pitcher Sergio Romo to an undisclosed major league contract on Monday, according to league sources. Romo was granted his release by the Seattle Mariners last week after allowing 13 earned runs on 18 hits (six home runs allowed) while walking four and striking out 11 in 14 1/3 […]

Romeo Doubs Makes Presence Felt In Offseason Workouts

Green Bay Packers fourth-round rookie wide receiver Romeo Doubs caught more passes than anyone during portions of offseason practice open to the media. "I felt really comfortable in this system," Doubs said. "I'm just willing to do whatever it takes to get wherever there is I need to be, whether it's the best in the […]

Garrett Whitlock Plays Catch

Boston Red Sox starting pitcher Garrett Whitlock (hip) played catch on Saturday, which is a step in the right direction as he works his way back from hip inflammation. "We have to be careful not to push him," manager Alex Cora said. Whitlock also threw a simulated game last Tuesday, but the Red Sox don't […]

Chris Sale Set For Next Rehab Start

Boston Red Sox left-hander Chris Sale (ribs) is scheduled for a three-inning minor league rehab start on Thursday for Double-A Portland. He'll throw a bullpen session in Boston on Monday before joining Portland.

New York Yankees right-hander Domingo German (shoulder) threw three scoreless innings and allowed one hit on 40 pitches in his first minor league rehab outing with Single-A Tampa on June 22, and his next rehab outing is scheduled for Tuesday with Double-A Somerset.

Aroldis Chapman Expected Back This Week

New York Yankees relief pitcher Aroldis Chapman (Achilles) threw a hitless inning with one strikeout in his second minor league rehab appearance for Double-A Somerset on Sunday, and the Yankees expect to activate Chapman from the injured list this week.

Gleyber Torres Day-To-Day With Ankle Sprain

New York Yankees infielder Gleyber Torres (ankle) turned his ankle while trying to return to third base on Sunday against the Houston Astros, and manager Aaron Boone said Torres' injury is a "mild ankle sprain." "He caught his spike and kind of rolled it over there at third," Boone said. "I'm hoping it scared him […]

Justin Dunn Tosses Two Innings In First Rehab Outing

Cincinnati Reds right-hander Justin Dunn (shoulder) gave up a run on three hits in two innings of work for High-A Dayton on Sunday in his first minor league rehab outing.

Atlanta Braves outfielder Eddie Rosario (eye) went 2-for-6 with two RBI and two strikeouts while playing left field and batting leadoff for Triple-A Gwinnett on Sunday.

Luis Garcia Pushed Back To Thursday

The Houston Astros have tweaked their starting rotation a bit this week, pushing right-hander Luis Garcia back to Thursday at home against the New York Yankees. Framber Valdez will start on Tuesday against the New York Mets, while Justin Verlander will go on Wednesday. It means that Garcia won't be a two-start pitcher this week […]

Jonnu Smith Praises Mac Jones

New England Patriots tight end Jonnu Smith was the latest Patriot to heap praise on second-year quarterback Mac Jones this offseason. "Mac is definitely one of the most goofiest guys in the locker room, to be honest, man. But when he steps on that field, he's a different character. He's just got so much ability […]

Kenny Pickett Receives Third-String Reps

Pittsburgh Steelers rookie first-round quarterback Kenny Pickett only received third-string repetitions in organized team activities and mandatory minicamp. Getting NFL-ready with limited first-team repetitions in training camp and three preseason games won't track Pickett to start anytime soon. Unless Mitchell Trubisky gets hurt or plays terribly in camp and the preseason, it's difficult to see […]

Jack Flaherty Dealing With Dead Arm?

St. Louis Cardinals skipper Oliver Marmol said that starting pitcher Jack Flaherty (shoulder) didn't have pain but tightness and more of a dead-arm sensation when he was removed from his start early on Sunday against the Chicago Cubs. The tightness isn't in the same area as Flaherty's previous shoulder injury, but the team is still […]

Ronald Acuna Jr. Doesn't Have A Fracture

Atlanta Braves outfielder Ronald Acuna Jr. (foot) requested a medical scooter because he can't put much pressure on his injured left foot, but he doesn't have a fracture and isn't using a protective boot or crutches.

Phillies Put Bryce Harper On Injured List

The Philadelphia Phillies officially placed outfielder Bryce Harper (thumb) on the 10-day injured list on Sunday with a fractured left thumb and recalled outfielder Mickey Moniak from Triple-A Lehigh Valley in a corresponding move.

Jack Flaherty Leaves Early With Shoulder Stiffness

St. Louis Cardinals starting pitcher Jack Flaherty (shoulder) left his start early on Sunday against the Chicago Cubs with right shoulder stiffness. Flaherty departed after tossing two scoreless innings. Fantasy managers should be pretty concerned, as the 26-year-old right-hander missed the first two and a half months of the season with right shoulder inflammation. Flaherty […]

Cade Otton Could Become Bucs' No. 1 Tight End

Tampa Bay Buccaneers rookie tight end Cade Otton (ankle), who is expected to be done with his recovery from an ankle injury for the start of training camp, could become the team's No. 1 tight end over Cameron Brate now that Rob Gronkowski has retired. Otton is already considered an above-average and willing blocker, so […]

Deebo Samuel Hasn't Rescinded Trade Request

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Deebo Samuel hasn't officially rescinded his trade request from earlier this offseason, but he did show up for the team's mandatory minicamp, which is a positive. There's also not a lot of league-wide chatter about the potential for a trade right now. Of course, San Francisco continues to say that […]

Oneil Cruz Resting Against Rays

Pittsburgh Pirates shortstop Oneil Cruz is not in the starting lineup on Sunday against the Tampa Bay Rays. It will be Cruz's first day off since being called up to make his season debut last Monday. In his first 27 at-bats of the year over six games, the 6-foot-7 shortstop has gone 7-for-27 (.259) with […]

Kris Bryant To Rejoin Rockies Monday

Colorado Rockies manager Bud Black said that infielder/outfielder Kris Bryant (back) will rejoin the team in Denver on Monday. The thought is that Bryant will be activated from the injured list at that time, but they will evaluate him when he joins the team. The veteran slugger has gone 3-for-20 (.150) with no home runs, […]
