Joey Meneses

WSH 1st Baseman #45

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players

Nationals manager Dave Martinez told reporters on Monday that Joey Meneses played through a knee injury throughout the 2023 season.

Wow, thanks for the update now, skip. He also failed to give any additional information on the type of injury, how Meneses is doing now, and whether or not he’ll require any additional treatment. Perhaps that played a role in his power outage in 2023. Martinez did say that Meneses will see time at first base and at designated hitter in 2024, so there’s that at least.

Tommy Edman

LAD 2nd Baseman #25

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players

Tommy Edman (ankle) is on track to make his season debut next week, according to Dodgers manager Dave Roberts.

Edman will get in a couple at-bats for Triple-A Oklahoma City this weekend as he wraps up a minor league rehab assignment. The 31-year-old will be activated from the injured list prior to Tuesday’s series opener against the Rays. He was a consistent 30-steal threat just a couple years ago, but those thefts have evaporated and rendered him a non-factor in most fantasy leagues since he doesn’t offer much from an over-the-fence pop or batting average standpoint.

Corey Seager

TEX Shortstop #5
Corey Seager (jaw, rib) remains out of the lineup for Saturday’s showdown against the Red Sox.

Seager receives some extra time off after a home-plate collision during Thursday’s game against Kansas City left him with rib and jaw soreness. He had been heating up, hitting safely in four of his last five games with two homers since returning from a back issue that sidelined him for a couple of weeks last month. It’ll be defensive specialist Nicky Lopez drawing another start at shortstop in his absence.

Cody Freeman

TEX 3rd Baseman #39

Rangers recalled INF/OF Cody Freeman from Triple-A Round Rock.

Freeman gets the call to replace an injured Evan Carter (oblique) on the Rangers’ active roster. The 25-year-old projects as a versatile bench option in the majors. He’s .233 (27-for-116) with three homers and one steal in 37 games at the highest level over the past two seasons.

Evan Carter

TEX Center Fielder #32

Rangers placed OF Evan Carter on the 10-day injured list with a right oblique strain.

No word on the severity of the strain, which will determine how much time Carter misses. The 23-year-old suffered the injury while making a phenomenal diving catch in shallow center field during Friday’s series opener against the Red Sox. There should be a definitive return timetable at some point later this weekend.

Brandan Bidois

PIT Relief Pitcher #77

Pirates recalled RHP Brandan Bidois from Triple-A Indianapolis.

Bidois returns to the big leagues with fellow rookie Wilber Dotel hitting the injured list with a lat strain. The 24-year-old has posted a respectable 4.05 ERA, 1.65 WHIP and 16/11 K/BB ratio across 13 1/3 innings for the Pirates this season.

Wilber Dotel

PIT Relief Pitcher #66

Pirates placed RHP Wilber Dotel on the 15-day injured list with a right lat strain.

It’s a tough development for Dotel, who has shown flashes of significant upside during his rookie campaign, as lat strain-related absences are typically measured in months, not weeks. The 23-year-old has posted an encouraging 5.89 ERA (3.28 xERA), 1.36 WHIP and a 19/9 K/BB ratio across 18 1/3 innings.

Daulton Varsho

TOR Center Fielder #5

Daulton Varsho (wrist) is expected to resume baseball activities next week.

Blue Jays manager John Schneider expressed optimism that Varsho will be ready to get back to on-field work at some point in the next few days after receiving a cortisone injection to address a lingering left wrist issue. The 29-year-old center fielder was finally placed on the injured list prior to Friday’s game against the Yankees.

Justin Wrobleski

LAD Starting Pitcher #70

Justin Wrobleski (hamstring) is on track to start against the Rays on Tuesday.

Wrobleski appears ready to take the ball on normal rest after leaving Thursday’s start against the Pirates with a hamstring contusion. The 25-year-old southpaw appears to have avoided serious injury. He’s compiled a respectable 2.95 ERA, 1.05 WHIP and 45/16 K/BB ratio across 73 1/3 innings this season.

Hao-Yu Lee

DET 2nd Baseman #50

Tigers recalled 2B Hao-Yu Lee from Triple-A Toledo.

Lee returns to Detroit’s bench mix after hitting .205 (17-for-83) with two homers and nine RBI in 32 games for Detroit during his first stint in the majors earlier this season.

Jack Flaherty

DET Starting Pitcher #9
Tigers placed RHP Jack Flaherty on the 15-day injured list with a left peroneal strain.

Flaherty has been diagnosed with a strain involving the tendons on the outside of the left lower leg and ankle. It’s unclear how much time he’s going to miss given the nature of the injury. The 30-year-old made an early exit from Friday’s start against the Guardians. No word yet regarding how the Tigers will fill his rotation spot, but it figures to involve Justin Verlander’s return from the injured list.
