Nestor Cortes

MIL Starting Pitcher #65

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players

Nestor Cortes received a PRP injection in his left elbow.

Cortes is facing a lengthy absence after hitting the injured list last week with a flexor strain in his left elbow. The 30-year-old southpaw will be shut down for a couple weeks before he’s cleared to resume a throwing program.

Braxton Garrett

MIA Starting Pitcher #20

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players

Marlins optioned LHP Braxton Garrett to Triple-A Jacksonville.

Garrett figured to be in the Marlins’ rotation for the long haul, but that was before he walked eight and allowed seven runs over 4 1/3 innings in two starts. He’ll try to figure things out in Jacksonville, where he had a 2.30 ERA but also a surprisingly high 12.3 percent walk rate in six starts before being called up.

Victor Vodnik

COL Relief Pitcher #38
Rockies placed RHP Victor Vodnik on the 15-day injured list with right ulnar nerve inflammation.

Vodnik had four saves for the Rockies last month, but he’d really struggled of late, giving up 14 runs in his last nine innings of work. Not that we’re recommending any Rockies relievers, but Juan Mejia and Antonio Senzatela are probably slightly better bets for saves with Vodnik out.

Keegan Thompson

COL Relief Pitcher #34

Rockies selected the contract of RHP Keegan Thompson from Triple-A Albuquerque.

Thompson is back in the majors for the first time since 2024. He had a 3.34 ERA but just 19 strikeouts in 32 1/3 innings for Albuquerque. He’s made five starts and thrown as many as 4 2/3 innings at a time, so he’s stretched out to go long if needed.

Blaine Crim

COL 1st Baseman #16

Rockies designated 1B Blaine Crim for assignment.

Crim lost his chance to make the Rockies this spring because of an oblique strain, though he was ready for the start of the minor league season. He’s hitting .265/.339/.449 in 36 games for Triple-A Albuquerque, and he’ll remain with the club if he clears waivers.

J.P. Crawford

SEA Shortstop #3

J.P. Crawford was scratched Wednesday with triceps soreness, but he took groundballs at third base before the game.

Crawford indicated that he’s open to switching positions with Colt Emerson up, and the Mariners probably ought to take him up on it. For now, though, he’s still day-to-day after getting hit by a pitch in Sunday’s game.

Corbin Carroll

AZ Right Fielder #7

Corbin Carroll is sitting Wednesday after taking a throw off his head during Tuesday’s game.

Carroll passed “every test” after the incident, according to manager Torey Lovullo, and is available off the bench today. He’ll be back in the starting lineup on Thursday. Jorge Barrosa is playing right field today.

Cade Gibson

MIA Relief Pitcher #58

Marlins recalled LHP Cade Gibson from Triple-A Jacksonville

Gibson is taking Braxton Garrett’s place on the active roster, but not in the rotation. He’ll give the Marlins an additional option out of the bullpen while they determine who moves into the rotation.

Mariners optioned LHP Robinson Ortiz to Triple-A Tacoma

Ortiz was called up on Monday, but the Mariners activated Matt Brash (lat) from the injured list on Wednesday, so Ortiz will be sent back down.

Luis Curvelo

TEX Starting Pitcher #57

Rangers activated RHP Luis Curvelo from the 15-day injured list and optioned him to Triple-A Round Rock

Curvelo was placed on the injured list on April 15th with a biceps strain. He had allowed three runs on six hits in five innings to start the season, so he’ll get more time in Triple-A to keep working on things, his command in particular.

Matt Brash

SEA Relief Pitcher #47

Mariners activated RHP Matt Brash (lat) from the 15-day injured list.

Brash was placed on the injured list at the beginning of May with lat inflammation. It was first thought that he would return as soon as he was eligible, but he wound up taking a few extra days. He should go right back to being a key member of the late-inning committe in Seattle.
