Anthony Varvaro

BOS Relief Pitcher #49

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players
Mark Bowman of MLB.com writes that the Braves could trade either Anthony Varvaro or Cristian Martinez if Jordan Walden (back) is ready for the season.

If Walden is ready, there won’t be room for both pitchers on the Opening Day roster. Varvaro and Martinez are out of options and likely wouldn’t clear waivers, so the Braves could look to find a trade partner. Martinez, 31, is coming off a 3.91 ERA and 65/19 K/BB ratio over 73 2/3 innings last season. Varvaro hasn’t enjoyed nearly the same success, posting a 4.43 ERA in 34 major league appearances, so he’s more likely to end up elsewhere.

A.J. Puk (elbow) will make a minor league rehab appearance for Triple-A Reno on Tuesday.

Puk will face some higher level minor-league competition after making three rehab appearances in the Rookie-level Arizona Complex League. The 31-year-old southpaw, who is coming off Tommy John surgery, is trending towards a mid-June return to Arizona’s high-leverage mix.

Corey Seager

TEX Shortstop #5

Corey Seager (back) will begin a minor league rehab assignment on Tuesday with Double-A Frisco.

Seager will need at least a couple minor league at-bats to get back up to speed prior to rejoining Texas’ lineup in the coming days. The 32-year-old shortstop has been on the shelf with back inflammation since May 18. All signs point to him being ready to return later this week.

Bailey Ober

MIN Starting Pitcher #17

Bailey Ober (elbow) has been diagnosed with a mild flexor strain and will be shut down from throwing for 10-14 days.

Ober will receive a second opinion to confirm that his UCL remains intact, but it’s an extremely encouraging initial diagnosis after hitting the injured list with elbow inflammation over the weekend. There should be a definitive return table once he’s cleared to resume throwing later this month.

Tarik Skubal

DET Starting Pitcher #29

The Detroit Free Press’ Evan Petzold reports Tarik Skubal (elbow) could potentially make a minor league rehab start on Saturday for Triple-A Toledo.

Nothing official from the Tigers yet. Skubal told reporters that he felt great after wrapping up a 64-pitch simulated game on Monday at Tropicana Field. The 29-year-old fantasy ace underwent an innovative NanoScope procedure to remove loose bodies from his elbow last month and could potentially make a minor league rehab start this weekend, which would put him on track to rejoin Detroit’s rotation by mid-June.
