Josiah Gray

WSH Starting Pitcher #40

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players

Josiah Gray (elbow) remains shut down from throwing and is scheduled to undergo additional testing.

Gray hit the injured list at the end of spring training with a right flexor strain and hasn’t been cleared to resume throwing. The 28-year-old’s promising career has been derailed by injuries the last few years. There should be some clarity on his status at some point in the near future.

John Klein

MIN Relief Pitcher #71

Twins optioned RHP John Klein to Triple-A St. Paul.

Klein was with the Twins for just one game this time around, issuing three walks and a hit while navigating a pair of scoreless innings on Saturday. He’ll bide his time at the Triple-A level until another need arises in the Twins’ bullpen.

Travis Adams

MIN Starting Pitcher #45

Twins recalled RHP Travis Adams from Triple-A St. Paul.

Adams was just optioned to Triple-A on Thursday, but he’ll get to return with Bailey Ober (elbow) landing on the injured list. The 26-year-old hurler has struggled to an 8.00 ERA, 1.67 WHIP and an 11/9 K/BB ratio across nine innings with the Twins this season.

Bailey Ober

MIN Starting Pitcher #17

Twins placed RHP Bailey Ober on the 15-day injured list with right elbow inflammation.

Ober was pounded for eight runs (seven earned) over 4 2/3 innings in a loss to the Pirates on Sunday and it sounds like the elbow issue may have played a role in his struggles. No word from the team yet on how long they expect him to be sidelined for. Travis Adams was recalled from Triple-A St. Paul in a corresponding move on Sunday.

Ceddanne Rafaela

BOS Center Fielder #3

Ceddanne Rafaela was scratched from the Red Sox’ starting lineup due to soreness in his lower back.

He sustained the injury while attempting to make a diving catch in the outfield. It’s not believed to be a major issue, but Red Sox’ skipper Chad Tracy wanted to utilize Monday’s off day to get him off his feet for a couple of days. Expect him to return to action on Tuesday.

Garrett Crochet

BOS Starting Pitcher #35

Red Sox’ manager Chad Tracy told reporters on Sunday that Garrett Crochet (shoulder) has had his throwing progression halted due to lat tightness that has cropped up over the past few days.

The 26-year-old southpaw had been scheduled to face hitters in a live batting practice session on Tuesday, but that will no longer happen. It sounds like they’ll take it day-to-day for now on when he may be able to resume throwing. Crochet has been sidelined since late April due to inflammation in his pitching shoulder.

Evan Carter

TEX Center Fielder #32
Evan Carter (foot) remained out of the Rangers’ starting lineup for Sunday’s tilt against the Royals.

Carter hasn’t played since exiting Friday’s game after being hit on the foot by a pitch from Eli Morgan. He was able to avoid any fractures, but it still dealing with a bit of soreness and swelling. He should return to the lineup in another day or two. Michael Helman will once again start in his place in center field and will bat ninth against Royals’ right-hander Michael Wacha.

Braden Shewmake

HOU Shortstop #28
Braden Shewmake (groin) was held out of the Astros’ starting lineup for Sunday’s battle against the Brewers.

Shewmake was pulled from Saturday’s game due to right groin soreness. It doesn’t sound like he’s going to require a trip to the injured list, but it still may be another day or two before he’s ready to return to action. Nick Allen will start in his place at second base and will bat eighth for the Astros against Jacob Misiorowski and the Brewers on Sunday afternoon in Houston.

Jackson Chourio

MIL Left Fielder #11
Jackson Chourio is not in the Brewers’ starting lineup for Sunday’s contest against the Astros in Houston.

It looks to be nothing more than a routine day off for the dynamic 22-year-old outfielder. William Contreras is also getting a breather for the Brewers in this one. Sal Frelick will start in right field and bat seventh while Gary Sanchez does the catching and hits sixth for the Brewers against Astros’ right-hander Tatsuya Imai on Sunday.

Dillon Dingler

DET Catcher #13

Dillon Dingler is not in the Tigers’ starting lineup for Sunday’s series finale against the White Sox in Chicago.

Dingler has been a nearly everyday player for the Tigers in the past month, often serving as the designated hitter when he’s not behind the dish. He’ll get a full day off in this one though. He also may see less time as the designated hitter going forward with Kerry Carpenter returning from the injured list on Sunday.

Gage Workman

DET 3rd Baseman #41

Tigers optioned INF Gage Workman to Triple-A Toledo.

With Kerry Carpenter returning from the injured list on Sunday, there was no longer room for Workman’s left-handed bat on the Tigers’ bench. The 26-year-old struggled to make consistent contact during his time with the big league club, slashing a woeful .158/.158/.395 with a pair of homers, five RBI and a cringe-inducing 16/0 K/BB ratio in 38 plate appearances.
