Dave Funnell - RotoBaller

104 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.

The Kansas City Royals placed left-handed relief pitcher Matt Strahm (knee) on the Injured List with right knee inflammation on Saturday.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Toronto Blue Jays outfielder Nathan Lukes (hamstring) was placed on the 10-Day Injured List on Saturday with a left hamstring strain.

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 […]

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.

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.

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.
