  • MIA Starting Pitcher #23
    Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players
    Meyer will undergo the labral repair procedure on Friday, which carries a 6-8 month recovery timetable. It’s a significant hit to Miami’s rotation depth. The 26-year-old righty can obviously be dropped in all fantasy formats. He should be ready for spring training based on the timing of the surgery. He showed some real flashes of potential early this season, including a 14-strikeout gem on April 21, before getting hit hard over his final handful of starts.
  • LAD Starting Pitcher #17
    Nothing official since Dodgers manager Dave Roberts told reporters he’s leaving it “open-ended” for when Ohtani will make his next pitching appearance. He did take a moment while speaking to reporters to shoot down the idea of Ohtani pitching in next month’s All-Star Game. The 30-year-old two-way superstar struck out a pair of batters in a scoreless frame on Sunday against the Nationals.
  • SF 1st Baseman #88
    The Giants are calling it a “moderate” strain, which is expected to keep him sidelined until at least mid-July. The 20-year-old slugging prodigy — who is a top-15 range prospect for dynasty purposes — suffered the injury over the weekend while running the bases at Triple-A Sacramento. The timing of the injury certainly throws a wrench in things for San Francisco as he was expected to make it to the big leagues at some point in the second half as the club’s primary first baseman. That possibility is in serious jeopardy now.
  • ARI 3rd Baseman #28
    Diamondbacks manager Torey Lovullo told reporters Suárez has “a ton of swelling” in his right hand, which they’ll need to subside before he undergoes a precautionary MRI to rule out any structural damage. The positive news is that initial X-rays came back negative for any fractures after the 33-year-old slugger was hit by a pitch during Monday’s series opener. It’s possible he winds up avoiding a trip to the injured list, but fantasy managers shouldn’t anticipate him returning to Arizona’s lineup for at least a couple days.
  • BAL 2nd Baseman #11
    Orioles interim manager Tony Mansolino told reporters Westburg will “probably” be ready for Wednesday’s series finale, but will “definitely” be set to return by Friday’s series opener against the Rays. The 26-year-old will miss his third straight contest on Tuesday night after suffering a left index finger sprain over the weekend.
  • ARI 1st Baseman #22
    Arizona is going to give Naylor some extra time off, likely out of an abundance of caution, after exiting Monday’s contest with right shoulder soreness. The fact that he was in Tuesday’s original lineup is an encouraging sign. Fantasy managers should consider him day-to-day for now. It’ll be a sizzling-hot Pavin Smith taking over for him at the hot corner.
  • NYM Starting Pitcher #59
    Mets president of baseball operations David Stearns downplayed concern regarding the issue to reporters on Tuesday, adding that he’s optimistic Manaea will resume throwing next week and potentially be activated shortly afterwards. The 33-year-old lefty was in the final stages of making it back from an oblique strain that he suffered back in spring training. He struck out seven over 5 1/3 innings on Friday in his latest minor league rehab outing. There should be some official clarity on his return timeline once he resumes throwing next week.
  • MIN Shortstop #50
    Castro remains on the bench for the third consecutive contest after being scratched from Sunday’s lineup with right wrist soreness. The Twins have the positional depth across several spots to continue absorbing his absence for at least a couple additional contests. Fantasy managers should consider him day-to-day for now. There’s been no indication that he’ll require a trip to the injured list, but the odds steadily increase the longer he remains out of the lineup.
  • TEX Starting Pitcher #61
    It will be determined at the time of the surgery whether it’ll be Tommy John or an internal brace. Either way, he figures to miss the start of next year, though internal brace surgery could have him back in May or June. Tommy John would likely put him out at least through September. Bradford hadn’t pitched this season after hurting his elbow this spring. He had a 3.54 ERA in 13 starts and one relief appearance last year.
  • TB Center Fielder #14
    Tampa Bay sent fellow rookie Kameron Misner down yesterday to make room. Simpson hit .285/.315/.317 with 19 steals over 35 games in his first stint in the majors. His defense is an issue, but the Rays probably wouldn’t be recalling him if they weren’t going to start him regular against righties. It looks like another setback for Christopher Morel, who seemed to be making playing time gains in recent days. Simpson should be worth rostering in all formats.
