MLB Injury Report for Saturday, June 1, 2024.

Jordan Romano – RP Toronto Blue Jays (elbow)

Mitchell’s report was the most concerning of the group, as other reporters just reported the facts. There should be some sort of diagnosis given today, but chances are that Romano won’t pitch at all this weekend, regardless of the situation in the game. Yimi Garcia figures to get the first real shot at any save opportunity this weekend and he has some experience in his career as a closer.

Alek Manoah – SP Toronto Blue Jays (elbow)

The labeling of Manoah’s elbow as a sprain gives way to the fact that he is looking for a second opinion on the matter. Those appointments are rarely a good thing, but we should know more about this once that meeting is completed later this week. Bowden Francis is the rumored replacement within the rotation.

Zac Gallen – SP Arizona Diamondbacks (hamstring)

Gallen appeared to be in pain when this happened. Knowing this and that it was a recurring injury, chances are that he misses more than the minimum of fifteen days here.

Tyler Wells – SP Baltimore Orioles (elbow), John Means – SP Baltimore Orioles (elbow)

This is a huge blow to the Orioles who are contending for a divisional title. Their weakness, if anything, is rotational depth, and now they’re losing two pieces who could have contributed throughout the season. It’s disappointing for both but especially for Means who was looking to finally show that he was capable of leading the charge. Instead, both pitchers will miss the rest of the season with elbow surgeries. It was later clarified too that both could be having Tommy John Surgery, but the diagnosis won’t be known until the operation begins.

Kerry Carpenter – OF Detroit Tigers (lumbar spine stress fracture)

This new diagnosis is a more significant one that should lengthen Carpenter’s time away from the team. We should know more once the Tigers address the situation, but chances are that we won’t see him for quite a while.

Michael Massey – 2B Kansas City Royals (back)

Massey recently went to the Injured List for his back, but there was no real indication that it would require anything other than rest. Having him visit a specialist is somewhat of a red flag, but the team seems confident in waiting to see how the injections work before doing anything else. Stay tuned.

Michael Wacha – SP Kansas City Royals (foot)

We should know more about Wacha’s condition later this weekend, but for now, it doesn’t look like he will make his next start.

San Francisco Giants – Team Update

A lot to unpack here. Jung Hoo Lee (shoulder) is wished well with his surgery and even better in his recovery. He is a great buy-low candidate in dynasty leagues. As for Michael Conforto (hamstring), he had one hit in three at-bats last night. There is no word on how long of a rehab assignment this could be, chances are he’s back within a week. Finally, Saturday is a big day for Robbie Ray (elbow) who will throw to live batters. If all goes well there, a rehab assignment can’t be too far behind.

Luis Garcia – SP Houston Astros (Tommy John Surgery)

Garcia has been throwing bullpen sessions, and this simulated inning is a small step in the right direction. There is no plan in place for when a rehab assignment will take place.

Tommy Edman – 2B/SS/OF St. Louis Cardinals

There had been a long lull in any news regarding Edman, who had resumed baseball activities. Now, it would appear that he is ready to hit the left side of the plate for the next step in his recovery. This is a big step forward in his recovery and one that is happening well past the time that many thought it would be. Regardless of this, he is still unlikely to begin a rehab assignment anytime soon.

Lars Nootbaar – OF St. Louis Cardinals (oblique)

A moderate oblique strain is more sever than mild, and those typically take about three to four weeks for a recovery. Knowing this, and Nootbaar’s extensive injury-history, it’s fair to assume that he won’t be back until after the All-Star Break.

Masataka Yoshida – OF Boston Red Sox (thumb)

That is an interesting to note regarding Yoshida’s thumb pain. It may help to explain his struggles early on this season. The aforementioned BP session is happening today, making it an important day for his development.

Tyler O’Neill – OF Boston Red Sox (knee)

A lot can happen between now and then, but it’s encouraging nonetheless that O’Neill believes he’ll be back.

Yu Darvish – SP San Diego Padres (hamstring)

There have been no updates since this news was posted. We should know more by the end of the weekend.
