MLB Injury Report

Christian Walker – 1B Arizona Diamondbacks

All things considered, Walker is pretty fortunate. He himself noted too that he should be fine, but the ball just hit him in an unfortunate spot. It wouldn’t be surprising to see him sit out today’s game.

Anthony Santander – OF Baltimore Orioles

The hope is that Santander will be able to play in a few days, if that, but nothing is set in stone. We should know more once the results from the precautionary X-Rays come back.

Luis Robert Jr. – OF Chicago White Sox

For now, Robert can be considered DTD, but his injury history from past seasons suggests he could miss some time. It’s best to have a backup plan heading into the playoffs.

Cincinnati Reds – Team Update

The Reds are reeling with injuries, and this doesn’t help things. Both Williamson and Ashcraft join Hunter Greene, Nick Lodolo, Ben Lively, and more pitchers on the team’s Injured Reserve. They also have offensive problems as well, making this a difficult time.

Riley Greene – OF Detroit Tigers

This complicates things for fantasy owners. There’s no telling what the MRI will reveal, and it could happen after next week’s lineups are to be finalized. It might be the point of considering him a drop in redraft leagues, but only if absolutely necessary.

Jose Altuve – 2B Houston Astros

The audio isn’t the greatest, but it’s the best clip out there. From the sound of it, Altuve will miss today’s game with the hopes of being ready for an important series against Texas tomorrow.

Jo Adell – OF Los Angeles Angels

If there was ever a time for Adell to make a name for himself on this team, the time would be now. If Adell can get himself healthy, he has a chance to earn a spot on this team for next season.

Zach Neto – SS Los Angeles Angels

It’s looking like Neto will be starting a rehab assignment this upcoming week and maybe a part of the team for the home stretch.

J.D. Martinez – UT Los Angeles Dodgers

The team has been taking their time with Martinez, and justifiably so. He is an important part of their postseason future, and having him at 100% health for the playoffs means more than the final month of the regular season. It looks like he will be back with the team within a week if all goes well.

Aaron Ashby – SP/RP Milwaukee Brewers

Ashby struck out two batters and walked another two batters for a scoreless appearance. This should be the first of many appearances for him.

Michael Taylor – OF Minnesota Twins, Willi Castro – INF/OF Minnesota Twins

It looks like a case of good timing (transaction-wise) but unfortunate that Taylor may miss some time in a season where he’s hit 20 home runs.

Mark Vientos – 3B New York Mets

Recurring injuries are troublesome for any player, and this seems like one of them. Expect more updates later today.

Gleyber Torres – 2B New York Yankees

Torres didn’t practice earlier in the day and didn’t play in last night’s game. It remains to be seen if he will return today or wait until next week.

Mason Miller – SP Oakland Athletics

Miller looks all but ready to return to Oakland, but there has yet to be an official word confirming that move. Expect some sort of announcement within a couple of days, which would be close to when Miller would throw for the Athletics.

Ty France – 1B Seattle Mariners

That is good news on the X-Rays, though it doesn’t mean that France won’t miss some time. As it says here, the team will re-evaluate things today.

Mathew Liberatore – SP St. Louis Cardinals

It’s quite possible that Liberatore will be with the Cardinals for the final three weeks of the season, which means approximately four more starts.

Danny Jansen – C Toronto Blue Jays

There’s a legitimate chance that Jansen’s season is done and Alejandro Kirk catches the majority of games for the Blue Jays.
