2 years agoChicago Cubs second baseman
Nick Madrigal (groin) has been placed on the 10-day injured list with a right groin strain. The 25-year-old infielder left Friday's game against the Giants early with right groin tightness and that's the ailment that's placed him on the IL. He was hampered by a left groin issue earlier this season as well. Injuries have limited Madrigal to just 59 games played this season where he's put together a .249 batting average to go along with a .587 OPS and seven RBI over 209 at-bats. There's a chance he could make it back for the end of the regular season.

2 years agoSt. Louis Cardinals starting pitcher
Steven Matz (knee) is set to make another rehab start with Double-A Springfield on Saturday. The 31-year-old lefty made a rehab start earlier this week, pitching 1 1/3 scoreless innings. If he continues with his progression, he could return to the Cardinals in the next few weeks or so. Matz has been out since July 24 with an MCL tear in his left knee. He put together a 5.70 ERA, 1.31 WHIP, and 51:9 K/BB ratio over 10 starts (42 2/3 innings) before going down.

2 years agoSan Francisco Giants relief pitcher
Dominic Leone has received unconditional release waivers. The veteran reliever was put on the injured list earlier in the week with a right elbow impingement but San Francisco decided just to release him. He had an up-and-down season, compiling a 4.01 ERA, 1.60 WHIP, and 52:24 K/BB ratio over 49 1/3 innings (55 appearances) out of the Giants bullpen this year.

Luis Robert (hand) is still absent from the lineup on Saturday against the Oakland Athletics. The dynamic 25-year-old will miss his fourth straight game after being plunked on the hand on Tuesday against the Mariners. Prior to being struck on the hand, he was dealing with a left wrist injury that kept him in and out of the lineup. He currently has no timetable for his return but fantasy managers should consider him day-to-day for now.

2 years agoMinnesota Twins starting pitcher
Josh Winder has been scratched from his start at Triple-A St. Paul on Saturday, which likely means he'll be recalled to start Sunday vs. the Cleveland Guardians. This is according to beat writer Aaron Gleeman, who reported that when the Twins used
Aaron Sanchez in relief on Friday night that they would need a new starter for Sunday. The 25-year-old righty owns a 3.77 ERA, 1.24 WHIP, and 29:14 K/BB ratio across 45 1/3 innings (10 appearances, six starts) for the Twins this season. He's not necessarily someone that managers should consider streaming in the fantasy playoffs.

Yasmani Grandal (back) has returned to the lineup on Saturday against the Oakland Athletics. The veteran backstop had missed the previous two games with back tightness but he's back out there behind the dish and batting eighth against Oakland hurler
Adrian Martinez. Injuries have limited Grandal to just 81 games played this season, he's slashing .203/.309/.269 with four home runs and 23 RBI over 271 at-bats.

2 years agoNew York Yankees first baseman
Anthony Rizzo (head, back) is no longer experiencing headaches, according to manager Aaron Boone. Rizzo had a blood patch done on Friday and is expected to be with the team at the ballpark on Saturday. Boone also said that Rizzo could be able to play by the end of the team's upcoming road trip. The 33-year-old started experiencing headaches after he received an epidural injection last week for lower back pain. But it looks like he's turned a corner now, and he could return by Sept. 20 when the Yankees start a series against the Pittsburgh Pirates at home. Rizzo is hitting just .225 on the year, but he has been a must-start in fantasy when on the field due to his 30 long balls, 71 RBI, 71 runs scored and six stolen bases in 414 at-bats.

2 years agoBaltimore Orioles rookie closer
Felix Bautista (arm) is dealing with arm fatigue, according to skipper Brandon Hyde. It explains why
Dillon Tate came in to earn his fourth save of the year on Friday in the 3-2 win over the Boston Red Sox. The Orioles want to give Bautista a few more days to rest, so if another save opportunity comes up again for Baltimore on Saturday or Sunday, it could be Tate or
Cionel Perez getting the save chance. Fantasy managers should consider Bautista to be day-to-day-for now. The 27-year-old Dominican right-hander has been excellent for the contending O's in 2022, posting a 1.62 ERA (2.87 FIP), a 0.82 WHIP, 12 saves and 80 strikeouts in 61 innings pitched this year.

2 years agoNew York Mets outfielder
Starling Marte (finger) never attempted baseball activities before Friday's game, according to skipper Buck Showalter. Marte will try again on Saturday, with an injured list stint still a strong possibility. The 33-year-old veteran suffered a non-displaced fracture of his right middle finger after he was hit by a pitch on Tuesday, and the Mets initially listed him as day-to-day. If he can't get going this weekend, it seems likely they'll put him on the injured list to let him heal further. While time is running out for fantasy managers, Marte needs to remain stashed everywhere. He's currently hitting .292 with 16 home runs, 63 RBI, 76 runs scored and 18 stolen bases. The left-handed hitting
Tyler Naquin has started in right field for the Mets since Marte suffered the injury on Tuesday.

2 years agoUpdating a previous report, New York Yankees starting pitcher
Luis Severino (lat) will make another minor league rehab start on Thursday due to scheduling, according to manager Aaron Boone. Severino is expected to be activated from the injured list the following Wednesday against the Pittsburgh Pirates. The 28-year-old right-hander threw 45 pitches in his latest rehab outing with Double-A Somerset on Wednesday, so he'll likely be stretched out a little more before returning to the Yankees starting rotation for the stretch run. There won't be much time for Severino to make an impact for fantasy managers the rest of the way, but he should still be rostered in most leagues.

2 years agoLos Angeles Dodgers skipper Dave Roberts said that relief pitcher
Blake Treinen (arm) is dealing with "arm soreness." Treinen was unavailable to pitch in the 5-4 loss to the division-rival San Diego Padres on Friday night. The veteran relief pitcher recently returned from the 60-day injured list due to a shoulder injury, so if this new injury is related to that, it could be bad news. Treinen looked good in two scoreless innings since his return from the injured list, but it remains to be seen if this new issue will keep him out for an extended period of time. For now, he should be considered day-to-day. The 34-year-old has thrown only five innings this year, but he's allowed only one run on a solo homer while striking out six and walking one.

2 years agoHouston Astros starter
Lance McCullers Jr. won his third game of the season on Friday when his club defeated the Los Angeles Angels 4-3. He pitched seven innings, allowing two runs on four hits while striking out six and walking one. McCullers missed the first four and a half months of the year with a forearm injury but has been decent in his five starts since returning. The right-hander owns a stellar 2.20 ERA, albeit with a 1.33 WHIP, 21.7% strikeout rate, and 12.5% walk rate. Playing for the Astros alone makes him relevant in just about every league, and hopefully, he can progress back to the pitcher who posted a 27.0 K% last season.

2 years agoNew York Yankees starting pitcher
Luis Severino (lat) said he might need another minor league rehab start before he's activated from the injured list to rejoin the starting rotation in New York. In his two rehab starts for Double-A Somerset so far, Severino has a 3.00 ERA and 0.83 WHIP in six innings pitched. The 28-year-old right-hander only threw 45 pitches in his last outing, so perhaps the Yankees want him to get a little more stretched out before he returns to the big leagues. The Yankees could use all the help they can get down the stretch as they try to hold onto the division lead in the American League East. Before his injury, Severino was 5-3 with a 3.45 ERA (4.03 FIP), a 1.07 WHIP, 95 K's and 25 walks in 86 innings over his 16 starts.

2 years agoNew York Yankees relief pitcher
Aroldis Chapman (leg) will start a minor league rehab assignment with Double-A Somerset on Sunday. Chapman said he expects to have another rehab outing after that and then expects to be activated from the injured list on the team's upcoming road trip. The 34-year-old left-hander threw a bullpen session on Friday. Barring a setback on Sunday or Monday, Chapman could rejoin the team for the start of their series next Tuesday against the division-rival Boston Red Sox. Chapman has struggled this year to the tune of a 4.70 ERA (4.78 FIP) and a 1.43 WHIP while earning nine saves and striking out 35 in 30 2/3 innings pitched.
Clay Holmes is cemented in as the team's closer, so Chapman is likely to return in a setup role when he returns from the injured list.

2 years agoNew York Mets right-hander
Tylor Megill (shoulder) threw a scoreless inning and didn't allow a hit while striking out one and walking none in his latest minor league rehab outing on Friday for Triple-A Syracuse. Megill hasn't allowed a single run in four relief innings on his rehab assignment, striking out eight in the process. When the Mets deem that he's ready to return from the injured list, he'll return in a relief role to close out the regular season. As a result, he can be left to the waiver wire to close out the 2022 campaign. Before his injury, the 27-year-old was 4-2 with a 5.01 ERA (3.60 FIP), a 1.21 WHIP, 47 strikeouts and 11 walks in 41 1/3 innings over nine starts in his second major league season.
