Dave Funnell - RotoBaller

71 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.

Articles

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 […]


Seiya Suzuki - Fantasy Baseball Rankings, Draft Sleepers, MLB Injury News

Fantasy Baseball Injury Report: Updates for Gerrit Cole, Carlos Rodon, Seiya Suzuki, Jackson Holliday, Josh Hader, Hunter Greene, more

Welcome, RotoBallers, to my fantasy baseball injury report for March 19, where today we look back at the major injury developments in the world of baseball and look ahead at what might transpire as a result. Today, we look at recent injuries and updates for Gerrit Cole, Carlos Rodon, Seiya Suzuki, Jackson Holliday, and more. Injuries are an […]


Adolis Garcia Scheduled to Face Live Pitching This Weekend

Texas Rangers outfielder Adolis Garcia (quad) is set to face live pitching this weekend. If he can complete both sessions without a setback, then he will be a candidate to return to the Rangers' outfield on Monday, September 15, when Texas begins a series in Houston against the Astros. It's worth noting that this potential […]


Corey Seager Hopes to Take Swings Soon

Texas Rangers shortstop Corey Seager (appendix) is hopeful to begin taking swings with a baseball bat in the near future. The 31-year-old has been cleared to have his progression sped up as he is now physically able to rotate his body. If he can successfully swing a bat, his next step would be to participate […]


Cole Ragans Looks Stellar in Second Rehab Appearance

Kansas City Royals starting pitcher Cole Ragans (shoulder) threw 3 2/3 scoreless innings during a rehab start on Friday night for Triple-A Omaha. Overall, he allowed just three batters to get on base, and he tossed 56 pitches overall, with 34 of them being thrown for strikes. This is his second straight solid rehab outing, […]


Anthony Volpe Unlikely to Start Against Red Sox

New York Yankees shortstop Anthony Volpe (shoulder) is unlikely to start any game during this weekend's series at Boston, as he is working on gaining strength in his injured shoulder. It was revealed earlier this week that the 24-year-old has been playing through a partially torn labrum for months. He recently had a cortisone shot […]


Lourdes Gurriel Jr. to Have Surgery

Arizona Diamondbacks outfielder Lourdes Gurriel Jr. (knee) will undergo surgery to repair a torn ACL in his right knee. Manager Torey Lovullo said on Friday that surgery for the veteran would be imminent. The 31-year-old suffered the injury on September 1 while he was tracking a fly ball and trying to avoid a teammate. Due […]


Reese Olson Begins Throwing Progression

Detroit Tigers starting pitcher Reese Olson (shoulder) has begun a return-to-play throwing progression. It's unclear if and when he will pitch again in 2025, but the belief is that he will be able to contribute to the Tigers in some capacity in the playoffs. The 26-year-old went to the injured list at the end of […]


Corey Seager Hopeful to Return this Season

Texas Rangers shortstop Corey Seager (appendix) is hopeful that he will be able to return to the team this season. He underwent an appendectomy on August 28, and the belief at the time was that he would require most, if not all, of the remainder of the season from which to recover. However, on Friday, […]


Kyle Tucker Remains Out on Saturday

Chicago Cubs outfielder Kyle Tucker (calf) remained out of the lineup on Saturday, as he continues to work through a lingering calf injury. Manager Craig Counsell said before the game that the team believes they have time to let it heal on its own without utilizing the injured list. He emphasized that they will be […]


Liam Hendriks Continues Throwing Program

Boston Red Sox reliever Liam Hendriks (hip) has continued progressing through his throwing program. The 36-year-old has increased his throwing distance up to 105 feet and hopes to extend that even further to 120 feet on August 30. If all goes well, he could work his way to throwing from a mound shortly afterward, as […]


Tyler Stephenson Takes Batting Practice

Cincinnati Reds catcher Tyler Stephenson (thumb) successfully took batting practice on Friday. He also did some catching drills, which included taking pitches and blocking balls. He did so using a specially fitted glove that had a thumb guard built into it for added protection. The plan is for him to continue along this upward trend […]
