Ryan Helsley

BAL Relief Pitcher #21

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players
Ryan Helsley (elbow) completed a bullpen session on Saturday.

Helsley appears to be getting close to heading out on a minor league rehab assignment, but he still hasn’t progressed to facing hitters in a live batting practice session. The hard-throwing 31-year-old stopper has been on the shelf with elbow inflammation since late April. There’s no real urgency to rush him back since unheralded Rico Garcia has done a phenomenal job as Baltimore’s primary ninth-inning option during his absence.

Jazz Chisholm Jr. is not in the Yankees’ starting lineup for Sunday’s showdown against the Athletics.

It’s the second time this week that Chisholm has found himself out of the Yankees’ lineup, both times against opposing left-handers. Max Schuemann will start in his place at second base and will bat eighth for the Bombers against Jacob Lopez and the A’s in West Sacramento.

Dylan Crews

WSH Center Fielder #3

Dylan Crews (hand) was scratched from the Nationals’ starting lineup for Sunday’s series finale against the Padres.

Crews was hit on the hand during Saturday’s game. It sounds like he tried to give it a go on Sunday but was still experiencing soreness so the Nationals opted to give him an extra day off. He’s considered day-to-day.

Peyton Pallette

CWS Relief Pitcher #41

Guardians returned RHP Peyton Pallette to the White Sox.

The Rule 5 pick passed through waivers unclaimed and has been returned to the White Sox after being designated for assignment last weekend. The 25-year-old hurler will report to Triple-A Charlotte.

Jesús Sánchez

TOR Right Fielder #12

Jesús Sánchez was removed from Sunday’s contest against the Orioles after being hit by a baseball thrown by a fan.

Sanchez appeared to be hit in the right arm by a baseball that was thrown from a fan in the right field seats. He then had a brief conference with manager John Schneider and the training staff before the decision was made to remove him from the game. Expect Sanchez to undergo precautionary X-rays to rule out any fractures. The Jays should have more on his status after the game.

Corey Seager

TEX Shortstop #5

Corey Seager (back) is expected to begin a minor league rehab assignment early next week.

The 32-year-old slugger has been sidelined since May 18 due to back inflammation. He’s probably only going to need a couple of game’s worth of live at-bats there before he’s ready to return to the Rangers’ lineup. If all goes well, he could be back in action before the end of next week.

Cam Sanders

PIT Starting Pitcher #64

Pirates recalled RHP Cam Sanders from Triple-A Indianapolis.

With Carmen Mlodzinski being placed on the restricted list on Sunday, Sanders will have another chance to work out of the Pirates’ bullpen. He has made five appearances with the Bucs this season, posting a woeful 10.80 ERA, 2.20 WHIP and a 7/5 K/BB ratio over five innings of work. He’ll function in a middle relief role.

Carmen Mlodzinski

PIT Starting Pitcher #50

Pirates placed RHP Carmen Mlodzinski on the restricted list.

Wow. Mlodzinski voiced his displeasure about being bumped from the Pirates’ rotation to make room for the return of Jared Jones on Friday. Now it appears that the two sides are at an impasse. Expect the trade chatter around Mlodzinski to pick up over the coming days.

Zach Neto

LAA Shortstop #9

Zach Neto (whiplash) returned to the Angels’ starting lineup for Sunday’s series finale against the Rays.

Neto was removed from Saturday’s game following a collision at home plate, but it appears as though he suffered nothing more than minor injuries. He’s right back in there at shortstop and batting atop the Halos’ lineup against Rays’ left-hander Shane McClanahan.

Justin Verlander

DET Starting Pitcher #35

Justin Verlander (hip) is scheduled to make a minor league rehab start at Triple-A Toledo on Tuesday.

The 43-year-old right-hander has taken a long time to recover from a hip impingement that has sidelined him since early April. He’s finally making tangible strides toward a return though and it’s possible that if Tuesday’s start goes well that he could be cleared to rejoin the Tigers’ rotation.

Paul Gervase

LAD Relief Pitcher #65

Dodgers optioned RHP Paul Gervase to Triple-A Oklahoma City.

Gervase has made just two appearances with the Dodgers this season, posting a 1.80 ERA, 1.40 WHIP and a 5/2 K/BB ratio across five innings. He’ll continue to serve as extra bullpen depth for a stacked Dodgers’ bullpen at the Triple-A level.
