Luis Severino

NYY Starting Pitcher #40

Luis Severino was charged with four runs in four innings Saturday in a no-decision against the Astros.

Severino’s rather odd outing saw the Astros rack up 41 foul balls against him, forcing him to throw 104 pitches in a four-inning stint in which he walked just one batter. He generated a fair amount of soft contact, but he did give up a pair of homers, one of which traveled just 345 feet. Severino actually sported some of his best velocity of the year tonight, averaging 97.6 mph on his fastball. It was a more encouraging showing than the line suggests.

Munetaka Murakami

CWS 1st Baseman #5

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players

White Sox manager Will Venable said Munetaka Murakami (hamstring) received a PRP injection on Monday.

Murakami is expected to miss at least 4-6 weeks after being diagnosed with a Grade 2 hamstring strain over the weekend. The 26-year-old slugger will be on the shelf until at least late June. The hope is that the PRP injection will expedite the healing process. There should be a clearer return estimate once he’s cleared to ramp up baseball activities in a couple weeks.

Shohei Ohtani

LAD Starting Pitcher #17

Dodgers manager Dave Roberts confirmed Shohei Ohtani will pitch and DH on Wednesday against the Diamondbacks.

Ohtani has put together his finest season of his career on the mound and will be in the lineup while pitching for the third consecutive time. The 31-year-old generational talent holds a pristine 0.82 ERA, 0.82 WHIP and 61/17 K/BB ratio across 55 innings this season. He also has 10 homers and six steals in 58 games. That’ll work.

TJ Shook

COL Relief Pitcher #52

Rockies selected the contract of RHP TJ Shook from Triple-A Albuquerque.

Shook receives his first opportunity in the majors after posting seven saves along with a strong 2.86 ERA, 1.09 WHIP and 29/8 K/BB ratio across 28 1/3 innings on the doorstep of the majors this season. He’ll operate in a low-leverage role for the Rockies initially but could wind up pitching in more critical spots later this summer.

Zach Agnos

COL Relief Pitcher #36

Rockies optioned RHP Zach Agnos to Triple-A Albuquerque.

Agnos heads back to the minors after posting a disastrous 7.78 ERA, 1.57 WHIP and 27/13 K/BB ratio across 37 innings this season as a long reliever. He was torched for seven earned runs in each of his last two appearances after tossing five shutout frames against the Diamondbacks on May 22.

Welinton Herrera

COL Relief Pitcher #59

Rockies transferred LHP Welinton Herrera to the 60-day injured list.

It doesn’t look good for Herrera, who landed on the shelf with elbow inflammation over the weekend just a few days after being called up from Triple-A Albuquerque. The 22-year-old is likely facing an extended absence after tossing 2 1/3 scoreless frames over three appearances for the Rockies.

Chandler Simpson

TB Left Fielder #14

Chandler Simpson made an early exit from Monday’s series opener against the Tigers with an apparent injury.

Simpson was left bloodied when his helmet fell off and struck his mouth as he slid headfirst into second base. The 25-year-old speedster finished 1-for-2 at the plate. There should be an update on his status following the contest.

Taylor Walls

TB Shortstop #6

Taylor Walls made an early exit from Monday’s series opener against the Tigers.

Walls was lifted for a pinch hitter during the third inning of Monday’s contest. He’s been battling a left hamstring injury that cost him three games last week. There should be an update on his status after the contest.

Josh Sborz

FA Relief Pitcher #66
Rangers released RHP Josh Sborz.

Sborz never quite made it back from shoulder issues that caused him to miss nearly all of last year. The 32-year-old failed to make Texas’ season-opening bullpen as a non-roster invitee before posting a calamitous 7.16 ERA across 16 1/3 innings for Triple-A Round Rock this season. There’s a chance he gets another opportunity elsewhere, but his odds of ever making it back as a high-leverage arm appear extremely slim.

A.J. Puk

AZ Relief Pitcher #33

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.
