J.T. Ginn

ATH Relief Pitcher #70

Athletics placed RHP J.T. Ginn on the 15-day injured list with a right quad strain.

Well, that was quick. Ginn struck out seven and allowed four runs over four innings on Monday against the Angels in his return from the injured list. The positive news here is that he’s not dealing with anything arm-related after missing time earlier this season with an elbow issue. He’s likely going to miss at least a couple weeks, even if it’s a low-grade strain.
Walker Buehler

BOS Starting Pitcher #0

Red Sox activated RHP Walker Buehler from the 15-day injured list.

Buehler returns to Boston’s rotation to start Tuesday’s showdown against the Mets at Fenway Park following a nearly three-week stint on the shelf recovering from shoulder bursitis. The 30-year-old veteran has looked sharp this season in his Red Sox debut, compiling a respectable 4.28 ERA across 33 2/3 innings (six starts).
Max Scherzer

TOR Starting Pitcher #31

Max Scherzer (thumb) threw a 33-pitch bullpen session on Tuesday.

Blue Jays manager John Schneider told reporters Scherzer, who experienced some back tightness last week in his previous throwing session, will throw a couple more side sessions before facing hitters in a live setting. Barring any setbacks, he should be cleared to head out on a minor league rehab assignment at some point in June.
Pete Crow-Armstrong

CHC Center Fielder #4

Pete Crow-Armstrong has been dropped to sixth in the lineup for Tuesday’s contest against the Marlins.

It’s a tough break for fantasy managers as the emerging star gets dropped to the lower-half of Chicago’s lineup with veteran Ian Happ coming off the injured list for Tuesday’s game. The 23-year-old power/speed threat led off in eight of the club’s previous nine contests, hitting three homers and stealing two bases during that span. It feels like only a matter of time before the Cubs are forced to put him back near the top of the lineup given the threat he poses in the leadoff spot.
Kristian Campbell

BOS 2nd Baseman #28

Kristian Campbell is in center field and batting fifth on Tuesday against the Mets.

Campbell is back in Boston’s lineup after getting a two-game break in an effort to reset mentally after .085 (4-for-47) with one homer and 15 strikeouts over 11 games to open the month of May. It’s interesting that he’s in center field, in addition to taking pre-game defensive reps at first base recently, with top prospect Marcelo Mayer seemingly being prepared down at Triple-A Worcester to take over at second base.
Ian Happ

CHC Left Fielder #8

Cubs activated OF Ian Happ from the 10-day injured list.

As was hoped, Happ missed the minimum 10 days with his mild strain. He’ll go back to left field, and with Seiya Suzuki returning to DH duties, Moisés Ballesteros was sent down to Triple-A. There’s no lineup yet, so we’re not sure if Happ will retain his regular leadoff duties, given that Pete Crow-Armstrong has been very successful as his replacement. PCA was mostly hitting sixth and seventh before Happ got hurt.
Porter Hodge

CHC Relief Pitcher #37

Cubs placed RHP Porter Hodge on the 15-day injured list with a strained left oblique.

Daniel Palencia was given a chance to close in Hodge’s place last night, but he failed and took the loss to the Marlins. Ryan Pressly, Brad Keller and Drew Pomeranz should also be in the mix for saves now, but it’s hard to pick a true favorite. We’d take fliers on Pressly and Keller first. Those in shallow leagues could consider dropping Hodge, since it’s not like he was throwing especially well anyway and it’s far from assured that he’ll return to closing once he’s activated.
Chris Paddack

MIN Starting Pitcher #20

Tuesday’s game and the resumption of Monday’s suspended game between the Guardians and Twins have both been postponed due to rain.

The two sides will now complete Monday’s game, led 2-1 by Minnesota in the fourth, on Wednesday ahead of Wednesday’s regularly scheduled game. Tuesday’s game will be made up as part of a doubleheader on Sept. 20. It’ll be interesting to see how the teams go about playing out Monday’s game now. Tonight’s scheduled starters, Gavin Williams and Chris Paddack, could both be in the mix for that one. We imagine Wednesday’s scheduled starters, Tanner Bibee and Joe Ryan, will still start their regular games.
Travis Bazzana

CLE 2nd Baseman #87

Travis Bazzana, the first overall pick in the 2024 MLB draft, is expected to miss 8-10 weeks with an oblique strain suffered last week.

The injury doesn’t necessarily rule out Bazzana reaching the majors this season, but it does mean it’s a whole lot less likely to happen. The 22-year-old Bazzana was hitting .252/.362/.433 with four homers and eight steals in 33 games for Double-A Akron.
Parker Meadows

DET Center Fielder #22

Parker Meadows (arm) will begin a rehab assignment with Triple-A Toledo on Tuesday.

Meadows has been out since spring training with a nerve issue in his arm, so this will be his first game action in almost two months. He has been throwing and hitting as part of his ramp-up process, but he figures to need to full allotment of time on his rehab assignment to get his timing and rhythm back against live pitching. This is still really good news, but we should expect Meadows in the Tigers’ lineup sometime in early June. What that means for Javier Baez’s defensive positioning is anybody’s guess right now.
