Jacob deGrom

TEX Starting Pitcher #48

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players

Rangers manager Skip Schumaker told reporters Jacob deGrom underwent an MRI on his right knee.

Schumaker added that they expect to receive the MRI results at some point Tuesday evening before they determine his next steps. It’s a notable development after deGrom managed to complete five innings against the Mariners on Monday, despite pitching through a minor knee issue that cropped up while warming up in the bullpen before the game. It sounds like the Rangers are merely proceeding with an abundance of caution in advance of deGrom’s next start on Sunday against the Dodgers. There should be an additional update on his status shortly.
Mike Trout

LAA Center Fielder #27

Mike Trout (hand) is back in the lineup for Tuesday’s contest against the Braves.

Trout returns to center field and will bat second on Tuesday night following a one-game absence after being hit by a pitch during Sunday’s showdown against the division-rival Mariners. X-rays came back negative for any fractures and he’s ready to roll after getting some extra rest. The 34-year-old future Hall of Famer is hitting .212 (7-for-33) with two homers and two steals through 10 games this season.
Cade Horton

CHC Starting Pitcher #22

Cubs manager Craig Counsell told reporters Cade Horton will undergo season-ending elbow surgery.

It’s a devastating development for the Cubs, and fantasy managers, after Horton blossomed into an upper-echelon fantasy contributor during the second half of last season and looked like a rotation mainstay for years to come. The 24-year-old former top pitching prospect hit the injured list over the weekend with a forearm strain after leaving his second start of the season after just 17 pitches. It’s unclear whether he’ll undergo a full Tommy John reconstruction or a less invasive internal brace procedure, which would expedite his return to the majors. It’ll be Colin Rea and Javier Assad tasked with picking up the slack in Chicago’s rotation moving forward.
Brice Turang

MIL 2nd Baseman #2

Brice Turang is dealing with a lower-body injury, according to Brewers manager Pat Murphy.

Murphy didn’t provide any specifics beside that Turang has been dealing with either a foot or ankle issue for the past week, which is one reason why he’s not in there for Tuesday’s game against the Red Sox. It’s unclear whether his availability is in question moving forward. There should be some clarity on his status soon.
Hunter Brown

HOU Starting Pitcher #58

Hunter Brown has been diagnosed with a Grade 2 shoulder strain and will be shut down from throwing for “a few weeks,” reports The Athletic’s Chandler Rome.

Astros general manager Dana Brown told reporters Brown will be reevaluated in two weeks and isn’t dealing with any ligament damage in his shoulder. It’s hardly an encouraging update after Brown was placed on the injured list over the weekend with a shoulder strain. The 27-year-old fantasy ace was off to an exceptional start to the season, allowing just one run with a 17/6 K/BB ratio over 10 2/3 innings. The best-case scenario would involve him beginning a throwing program in a couple of weeks without setbacks, but fantasy managers should still anticipate an extended absence since he’ll need time to build up his arm strength and pitch count before returning to Houston’s rotation.
Max Scherzer

TOR Starting Pitcher #31

Max Scherzer (forearm) expects to make his next start on Sunday against the Twins.

Scherzer told reporters he’s feeling good after exiting Monday’s start against the Dodgers with forearm tendinitis after just two innings. The 41-year-old veteran added that he’ll throw a bullpen later this week and expects to make his next start. The fact that he’s dealing with a lingering physical issue makes it challenging for fantasy managers to trust him, especially since he’s likely going to have some workload limitations after an abbreviated outing where he threw only 36 pitches.
Alejandro Kirk

TOR Catcher #30

Alejandro Kirk underwent left thumb surgery on Tuesday and will be out at least six weeks.

It’s not a worst-case scenario after Kirk underwent a procedure to address a fracture in his left thumb that involved inserting a screw, according to Blue Jays manager John Schneider. The 27-year-old backstop will be on the shelf until at least mid-May. There should be an exact timetable once he’s cleared to resume baseball activities and head out on a rehab assignment. It’ll be Tyler Heineman and Brandon Valenzuela handling the catching duties in his absence.
Cody Ponce

TOR Starting Pitcher #66

Cody Ponce will undergo season-ending surgery to repair ACL damage in his right knee.

Blue Jays manager John Schneider told reporters Ponce will be out for at least six months, which effectively ends his season. The 31-year-old suffered an ACL sprain in his right knee during his season debut against the Rockies last week. It was his first start in the big leagues since 2021. The 31-year-old’s extended absence creates even more issues for Toronto’s rotation, which has been decimated by injuries this season.
Addison Barger

TOR 3rd Baseman #47

Blue Jays placed 3B/OF Addison Barger on the 10-day injured list, retroactive to April 6, with a left ankle sprain.

Barger winds up requiring a trip to the injured list to allow for some extra recovery time and enable Toronto to bring up some bench depth. The 26-year-old was one of last year’s biggest breakthroughs fantasy-wise, but he was off to a slow start this season before suffering an ankle injury over the weekend when he stepped awkwardly on first base. It’ll likely be a minimum stay on the injured list for Barger, who should be ready to return at some point next week.
Christian Yelich

MIL Left Fielder #22

Christian Yelich is not in the lineup against the Red Sox on Tuesday.

The Brewers are going righty-heavy Tuesday, which makes sense because they’re facing one of the toughest lefties in baseball in Garrett Crochet. That means that not only Yelich will sit, but Brice Turang will also get his first day of rest of the season as well. Luis Matos will be the designated hitter, and David Hamilton gets the start at second base.
