Dave Funnell - RotoBaller

80 articles

Husband - Father - Teacher - Baseball Nut I've been following baseball since a child, but as it stands, I don't have a favorite team. While that might sound a bit odd, it helps take the emotion out of it when I'm figuring out who to add or drop. I have been playing fantasy baseball for almost twenty years. I got into writing about it about ten years ago, and have been reporting news and analyzing data ever since. While I love everything about it, my true passion and strength comes from studying, reporting, and speculating on injuries. I've written on many sites, such as PitcherList, Fantrax, and of course, Rotoballer, and have also helped host a podcast called "The Fantasy Baseball Beat". Other than baseball, I enjoy fantasy football, NBA basketball, and....cough cough....WWE wrestling (for my kids, of course;)). You can follow me on Twitter/X at @sportz_nutt51. My DM's are always open for anything you'd like to talk about. Also, I use the hashtag #FunnellVision for all major injury updates.

Kodai Senga Throws 58 Pitches in First Rehab Start

New York Mets starting pitcher Kodai Senga (back) threw 58 pitches on Friday in his first rehab start for the Single-A St. Lucie Mets. He allowed two runs on four hits and one walk in just over three innings pitched, while his fastball topped out at 97 miles per hour on the radar gun. In […]


Max Scherzer Throws Another Bullpen

Toronto Blue Jays starting pitcher Max Scherzer (forearm) continued to make progress in his recovery on Friday, throwing a 30-pitch bullpen session at Rogers Centre. The 41-year-old has now thrown multiple bullpen sessions, with each one featuring a larger workload than the last. It remains unclear what the next steps are for Scherzer, as the […]


Logan O'Hoppe Being Tested for Concussion

Los Angeles Angels catcher Logan O'Hoppe (head) is being evaluated for a concussion after leaving Friday's game early. The 26-year-old backstop suffered the injury after a collision at the plate that left him dizzy and disoriented. While he said that he felt fine, manager Kurt Suzuki mentioned that he would undergo standard concussion protocol to […]


Addison Barger to Resume Baseball Activities on Sunday

Toronto Blue Jays outfielder Addison Barger (elbow) is set to resume baseball activities on Sunday at Rogers Centre in Toronto. The 26-year-old has been on the Injured List since May 11 with right elbow inflammation, only days after returning from a separate ankle injury. The belief is that he is nearly ready to ramp up […]


Jose Altuve Feeling Better, Heading to Florida to Continue Rehab

Houston Astros second baseman Jose Altuve (oblique) is feeling better after suffering a Grade 2 left oblique strain one week ago. He was seen walking around the clubhouse on Saturday and said that, while he can do some light workouts, he has yet to resume baseball activities. The 36-year-old will travel to West Palm Beach […]


Cole Ragans Making Headway in Rehab

Kansas City Royals starting pitcher Cole Ragans (elbow) is making progress while rehabbing his injured elbow. Manager Matt Quatraro said that the 28-year-old has been playing catch with increased intensity, velocity, and volume. He also threw a few pitches off the mound, likely testing his arm to see if it could withstand the increased workload. […]


Matt Strahm to the Injured List With Knee Inflammation

The Kansas City Royals placed left-handed relief pitcher Matt Strahm (knee) on the Injured List with right knee inflammation on Saturday. The 34-year-old struggled in his last appearance on Friday, requiring the attention of the medical staff while he was on the mound. He was able to push through and record the necessary outs, but […]


Jose Berrios to Undergo Surgery on his Elbow

Toronto Blue Jays starting pitcher Jose Berrios (elbow) will undergo surgery to repair a stress fracture in his elbow. The 31-year-old has missed the entire 2026 season so far because of this injury, as he was initially attempting to rest it and pitch through the ailment. Instead, the issue failed to improve, and a check-up […]


Trevor Story Hits the Injured List With Groin Injury

Boston Red Sox shortstop Trevor Story (groin) was placed on the 10-day injured list on Saturday with a groin injury. The 33-year-old has been battling this ailment for most of the season and will now require time off to let it heal properly. Story has failed to live up to last year's success, hitting just […]


Aidan Miller Suffers a Potential Setback

Philadelphia Phillies prospect Aidan Miller has suffered a setback in his recovery from a lower-back injury that has sidelined him for months. He had recently resumed fielding ground balls and performing rotational exercises, but he has now been shut down from all baseball activities. It remains unclear whether the team is simply being extra cautious […]


Patrick Bailey Traded to the Guardians

The Cleveland Guardians have traded for 26-year-old catcher Patrick Bailey in exchange for left-handed pitching prospect Matt Wilkinson and the 29th pick in the 2026 draft. The former Giant backstop saw his playing time put in jeopardy when the San Francisco Giants called up prospect Jesus Rodriguez, who has since started behind the plate in […]


Addison Barger Activated From the Injured List

The Toronto Blue Jays have reinstated outfielder Addison Barger (ankles) from the 10-day injured list on Saturday. The 26-year-old has been absent from the team for over a month due to a sprained ankle, but he will return to the club on Saturday. He recently completed a brief rehab assignment during which he hit two […]


Taj Bradley Hits the Injured List With Pectoral Inflammation

The Minnesota Twins have placed starting pitcher Taj Bradley (pectoral) on the 15-day injured list because of right-pectoral inflammation. The right-handed hurler has had a fantastic start to the 2026 season, posting a 2.82 ERA, 1.19 WHIP, all while striking out 52 batters in just 47 innings pitched. He looked dominant in his last start […]


Griffin Canning's Activation Seems Imminent

San Diego Padres pitcher Griffin Canning (Achilles) is likely to be activated on Sunday to make his 2026 debut at home and against the Chicago White Sox. The 29-year-old right-hander suffered a ruptured Achilles tendon in June 2025, missing the remainder of the season as a result. Before that, he had found success as part […]


Cole Sands Hits the Injured List With Forearm Strain

Minnesota Twins relief pitcher Cole Sands (forearm) was transferred to the 15-day injured list on Saturday with a strained right forearm. The 28-year-old struggled in his last appearance, surrendering two earned runs on three hits in just two-thirds of an inning. Before that, he had been a reliable source of outs in the Twins' bullpen, […]


Nathan Lukes Resumes Hitting

Toronto Blue Jays outfielder Nathan Lukes (hamstring) has resumed hitting in the batting cages. The 31-year-old has been in Dunedin at the Toronto Blue Jays' training complex and had a successful session in the batting cage on Friday. This is a significant step forward as he continues to work his way back from a hamstring […]


Nick Lodolo on Track to Make One Last Rehab Start

Cincinnati Reds starting pitcher Nick Lodolo (finger) has had his rehab assignment moved from Single-A Dayton to Triple-A Louisville. He is set to make one more rehab start on Saturday, with the intention of it being his final outing before making his 2026 season debut for the Reds. After missing time due to a recurring […]


Steven Kwan Scratched With Neck Stiffness

Cleveland Guardians outfielder Steven Kwan (neck) will miss Saturday's game with neck stiffness. The 28-year-old was originally set to lead off for the club in their afternoon game at Toronto, but he was pulled from the lineup just hours before opening pitch. It is unclear how the injury happened, and any developments are important to […]


Nathan Lukes Heads to the Injured List

Toronto Blue Jays outfielder Nathan Lukes (hamstring) was placed on the 10-Day Injured List on Saturday with a left hamstring strain. The 31-year-old injured himself while stretching out a double in Friday's game against the Cleveland Guardians, resulting in him exiting early from the contest. He underwent an MRI, and the strain was revealed, meaning […]


Trey Yesavage Returning From Injured List on Tuesday

Toronto Blue Jays right-handed starting pitcher Trey Yesavage (shoulder) will make his 2026 season debut on Tuesday, when he will be activated from the 15-day injured list to face the Boston Red Sox. It was announced that the 22-year-old right-hander will also start on Tuesday, giving the Blue Jays some much-needed help in their already […]


Sonny Gray Remains on Track to Return When First Eligible

Boston Red Sox starting pitcher Sonny Gray (hamstring) remains on track to return to the team's starting rotation when he is first eligible to do so on May 6. The 36-year-old veteran has resumed playing catch before games this past week after an MRI revealed nothing other than a Grade 1 hamstring strain. He has […]


Kyle Stowers Will be Activated on Sunday

Miami Marlins outfielder Kyle Stowers (hamstring) will be activated from the 10-day injured list on Sunday, according to manager Clayton McCullough. The 28-year-old has missed the entire 2026 season due to a right hamstring injury that he sustained during Spring Training. After battling back in March, he reaggravated the injury while rounding the bases in […]


Jeremiah Jackson Has Been Great This Season

Baltimore Orioles second baseman Jeremiah Jackson has had a surprisingly hot start to the season. Taking over for the injured Jackson Holliday, the 26-year-old second baseman has given the Orioles a much-needed spark more than once. This past week alone, he has hit four home runs and recorded 11 RBI in just five games played. […]


Jonathan Aranda has Cooled Off This Week

After a hot start to the season, Tampa Bay Rays first baseman Jonathan Aranda has cooled off significantly throughout most of April. The 27-year-old has just two hits over his last 30 plate appearances (.091), and only eight total base hits this month. His current .214 BA is more than 100 points lower than his […]


Max Scherzer Cleared to Start on Sunday

Toronto Blue Jays starting pitcher Max Scherzer (forearm) is set to start Sunday's game against the Minnesota Twins. The 41-year-old was forced to leave his last start early because of intensified forearm tendinitis, leaving some doubt as to whether or not he would be cleared to make his next start. However, throughout the week, he […]


Griffin Conine to Undergo Hamstring Surgery Next Week

Miami Marlins outfielder Griffin Conine (hamstring) will undergo a hamstring tendon excision next week. The 28-year-old will have the operation done in Dallas by Dr. Dan Cooper, resulting in him missing extensive time. The announcement came a day after he was placed on the 10-Day Injured List, though he will undoubtedly miss much more than […]


Masyn Winn Believes he Will Return on Saturday

St. Louis Cardinals shortstop Masyn Winn (leg) is optimistic that he will play on Saturday despite his early departure in Friday night's contest due to a leg injury. The 24-year-old was hit by a pitch on his left leg and forced to leave the game with a contusion. The young shortstop is off to a […]


Merrill Kelly Could Be Activated Next Week

Arizona Diamondbacks right-handed pitcher Merrill Kelly (back) is set to rejoin the team this weekend before his scheduled bullpen session on Sunday. The 37-year-old has participated in two rehab outings, with his latest being this past Wednesday, where he threw 72 pitches. Now that he is fully healed from having intercostal nerve irritation, his biggest […]

It's worth noting that this potential […]
