  • NYY Starting Pitcher #0

    Yankees manager Aaron Boone told reporters Monday that Marcus Stroman is still dealing with left knee discomfort.
    It certainly doesn’t sound like Stroman is close to making it back to New York’s rotation mix at any point in the near future. The 33-year-old righty received a cortisone injection a couple weeks ago after landing on the shelf with left knee inflammation and has yet to resume throwing off a mound. It’s looking like he’ll be out until sometime around midseason.
  • TB Starting Pitcher #18

    Shane McClanahan (triceps) had a “very good meeting” with a nerve specialist on Tuesday.
    Rays manager Kevin Cash said that McClanahan will resume his throwing progression soon. The left-hander had felt discomfort in his nerves when he was throwing full-distance bullpens, so he still hadn’t even progressed to facing hitters yet. McClanahan will have to build back up to bullpens, and then we’ll have a better sense of his return timeline, but sometime in August feels most likely as of now.
    Angels' Neto a top-10 fantasy shortstop
    James Schiano dives into Zach Neto's improved hitting prowess for the Los Angeles Angels and explain how he could be a top-10 fantasy shortstop or better for the rest of 2025
  • HOU 1st Baseman #9
    Astros General Manager Dana Brown said that Zach Dezenzo (hand) is pain-free.
    While that’s certainly good news, Brown didn’t give any indication of what that means for Dezenzo’s timeline, and we’ve seen Houston downplay a few injuries over the last two years that have lingered. The 25-year-old would likely require a short rehab assignment once he’s healthy enough, but it’s unclear if his .245/.321/.367 slash line is good enough to keep him on the MLB roster.
  • HOU Starting Pitcher #41
    Astros General Manager Dana Brown said Spencer Arrighetti (thumb) “is going to throw off the mound this week in West Palm Beach.”
    Arrighetti has been throwing bullpens for a couple of weeks, so this mound work could be the last step before he faces live hitters in the Florida Complex League. Once he does that, he’d begin a lengthy rehab, which still means it’s unlikely he returns before the middle of July.
  • HOU Left Fielder #44
    Astros General Manager Dana Brown said Yordan Alvarez (hand) is experiencing a “Day-to-day thing, he feels a lot better.”
    Brown also said that Alvarez “is not taking swings right now.” It’s unclear how the 27-year-old is “day-to-day” but also hasn’t begun swinging, but perhaps he’ll pick up a bat any day now. Until he does, we have no idea what his true timeline for return will be.
  • PIT 1st Baseman #25
    MLB.com’s Alex Stumpf reports that the 1B/OF Billy Cook “will be joining the Pirates today.”
    The 26-year-old is the Pirates’ 18th-ranked prospect. He’s slashing .271/.353/.335 with 20 RBI, 23 runs scored, and 10 steals in 61 games at Triple-A this season. He has played first base and all three outfield positions in the minors this season, but there is not yet a clear idea of how the Pirates will use him.
  • SF 1st Baseman #88
    Giants 1B prospect Bryce Eldridge went 2-for-4 with a home run, three RBI, and two runs scored for Triple-A Sacramento on Tuesday.
    Eldridge was the primary target for the Red Sox in trade talks surrounding Rafael Devers, but the Giants refused to part with him. The 20-year-old is hitting just 8-for-46 since being called up to Triple-A, but he does have three home runs and 12 RBI in 12 games. He’s the first baseman of the future in San Francisco, which means Devers will likely remain the designated hitter.
  • MIL Starting Pitcher #36
    Tobias Myers threw six shutout innings for Triple-A Nashville on Tuesday.
    The 26-year-old allowed four hits while striking out four and walking two. He now has a 3.48 ERA and 1.31 WHIP in 41 1/3 innings at Triple-A Nashville this season. He deserves another crack at starts in Milwaukee, but it might not happen unless the Brewers move on from Jose Quintana and/or Freddy Peralta at the trade deadline.
  • MIL 1st Baseman #27
    Andrew Vaughn went 1-for-4 with a grand slam for Triple-A Nashville on Tuesday.
    Vaughn was acquired by the Brewers for Aaron Civale over the weekend. He’s going to stay at Triple-A for a bit as the Brewers work to get him back to last year’s swing, but with Rhys Hoskins being a popular name in trade rumors, Vaughn could get a chance to start for Milwaukee after the deadline.
  • ATH 2nd Baseman #20
    Zack Gelof (hand, ribs) went 0-for-1 with two walks, two steals, and one run scored for Triple-A Las Vegas on Tuesday.
    Gelof started the game at designated hitter and played six innings before being subbed out. His rehab process is going to be a long one, but it’s encouraging to see that he’s still running despite the numerous injuries he’s faced this season.
  • PIT Starting Pitcher #57
    Bubba Chandler allowed one run on five hits in four innings for Triple-A Indianapolis on Tuesday.
    Most importantly, Chandler walked one after his struggles with command before. Still, throwing only 42 of 79 pitches for strikes is not ideal. He struck out three and is still too good to be staying at Triple-A. We’re not sure what the Pirates are asking him to work out in Triple-A, but he can likely do that in MLB games as well.
