Brandon Morrow Throwing Up To 135 Feet

Chicago Cubs relief pitcher Brandon Morrow (elbow) is now throwing up to 135 feet, according to general manager Jed Hoyer. A little too late. Morrow has been out since the first half of last season and still is without a timetable for a return to Chicago's bullpen. It doesn't really matter now for fantasy purposes, […]

Adam Haseley Seven Days From Game Activity

Philadelphia Phillies outfield prospect Adam Haseley (groin) is about seven days away from game activity as he rehabs a left groin strain.

Chicago White Sox manager Rick Renteria is expecting third baseman Yoan Moncada (back) to return to the lineup on Wednesday.

Ryan Zimmerman Running The Bases

Washington Nationals first baseman Ryan Zimmerman (foot) ran the bases on Tuesday and will do so again on Wednesday.

Hunter Strickland To Resume Playing Catch

Seattle Mariners closer Hunter Strickland (lat) will resume playing catch in the next day or two after his MRI exam didn't show any new injuries. Strickland felt soreness in his right lat while throwing over a week ago, but it looks like he avoided something much worse. The right-hander has two saves in three appearances […]

Teoscar Hernandez Day-To-Day

Toronto Blue Jays outfielder Teoscar Hernandez (wrist) is listed as day-to-day after spraining his left wrist and coming out of the game on Monday. He wasn't in the team's lineup on Tuesday either.

St. Louis Cardinals starting pitcher Daniel Poncedeleon will make another start on Wednesday against the Marlins.

Ender Inciarte Resumes Baseball Activities

Atlanta Braves outfielder Ender Inciarte (back) has resumed baseball activities but is still "a ways away" and there is no timetable for when he'll go on a rehab assignment.

Odubel Herrera's Leave Extended To July 1

Philadelphia Phillies outfielder Odubel Herrera's administrative leave has been extended to July 1 while he's investigated for domestic violence back on May 27. Even if he's not eventually convicted of domestic violence, Major League Baseball will likely wind up suspending the 27-year-old outfielder.
