Byron Buxton

MIN Center Fielder #25

Byron Buxton left Wednesday’s game with an injury after he attempted to steal second base.
Jake Burger

MIA Third Baseman #36

Marlins sent Jake Burger (oblique) on a rehab assignment with Triple-A Jacksonville.

The 28-year-old slugger was placed on the injured list a little over two weeks ago and will get some live at-bats with Jacksonville on Wednesday. Prior to hitting the injured list, Burger was slashing .228/.281/.421 with three home runs and 15 RBI in 64 plate appearances this season. If all goes well with his rehab, fantasy managers should expect Burger to be back with the Marlins in the coming days.
Freddy Peralta

MIL Starting Pitcher #51

Freddy Peralta was suspended five games after hitting Jose Siri on Tuesday.

Peralta was having another stellar outing for the Brewers on Tuesday and the only run he allowed was a home run from Jose Siri. Later in the game, Peralta hit Siri in the sixth inning which was deemed an intentional act by the home plate umpire and led to his ejection, as well as Milwaukee manager Pat Murphy. Peralta will appeal the five-game suspension handed to him by Major League Baseball, while Murphy was given a two-game suspension which he is serving starting on Wednesday.
Abner Uribe

MIL Relief Pitcher #45

Abner Uribe was suspended six games after a brawl with Jose Siri on Tuesday.

Uribe will reportedly appeal the six-game suspension. The 23-year-old swung at Jose Siri near first base in the eighth inning after the two players exchanged words. Uribe had to be held back by his own teammates and he was ultimately brought down to the dugout and ejected from the game. “There were some words shared that didn’t have much to do with the game that probably shouldn’t have been shared there in that exchange,” Uribe said.
Jose Siri

TB Center Fielder #22

Jose Siri was suspended three games after getting in a brawl with Abner Uribe on Tuesday.

Siri will reportedly appeal his three-game suspension. The fight occurred in the eighth inning when Siri and Brewers reliever Abner Uribe exchanged words near first base. “When I went to first base, I just went there normal, and he kind of hit me on the shoulder,” Siri said. “So I asked him why did he do that? And he just said, ‘Because I felt like it.’” Earlier in the game, Siri was hit by a pitch from Freddy Peralta that resulted in Milwaukee’s starter getting ejected. That moment didn’t sit well with Uribe thus the brawl happening which cleared both benches.
Jackson Jobe

DET Starting Pitcher #78

Tigers RHP prospect Jackson Jobe was removed from Wednesday’s start for Double-A Erie with an apparent injury.

Not good. The 22nd overall prospect and No. 3 prospect in Detroit’s organization was flexing his left leg and grabbing around his hamstring after a pitch during a Double-A contest on Wednesday. We’ll have to wait and see if there injury is significant, but this could possibly delay 21-year-old’s path to the majors this season. Jobe has a solid 2.63 ERA, 1.17 WHIP with a 19/9 K/BB ratio across 13 2/3 innings at the Double-A level in 2024.
Roddery Munoz

MIA Starting Pitcher #71

Marlins recalled RHP Roddery Muñoz from Triple-A Jacksonville.

Muñoz returns to the active roster after a brief stint with Triple-A Jacksonville. The 24-year-old hurler has one start under his belt this season where he stuck out seven and allowed two runs across five innings. Miami has the 3rd-worst starting ERA in baseball so far this season, so the team hopes the addition of Muñoz can provide some stability, but he’s still raw and inexperienced to expect anything great from him early on. Fantasy managers can hold off until there’s a bit more of a sample size.
Emmanuel Ramirez

MIA Relief Pitcher #67

Marlins optioned RHP Emmanuel Ramirez to Triple-A Jacksonville.

Ramirez heads back to the minors after providing the Marlins some additional relief over the past few days. The 29-year-old appeared in three games for Miami and allowed just one hit and struck out three in 3 1/3 innings of work.
Kody Funderburk

MIN Relief Pitcher #55

Twins optioned LHP Kody Funderburk to Triple-A St. Paul.

Funderbunk will head down to the minors in what seems to be somewhat of a surprising move given his results in the big leagues. In his 11 appearances with the Twins this season, the 27-year-old southpaw has posted a 3.38 ERA, 1.28 WHIP with a 15/5 K/BB ratio across 13 1/3 innings. Chances are, he’ll get more opportunities in the majors with a Minnesota bullpen that has the 5th-best ERA (2.67) in MLB.
Caleb Boushley

MIN Relief Pitcher #57

Twins selected the contract of RHP Caleb Boushley from Triple-A St. Paul.

The 30-year-old reliever will join Minnesota’s active roster after making five starts at the Triple-A level where he’s posted a 4.00 ERA with an impressive 30/4 K/BB ratio across 27 innings of work. Boushley appeared in one game for the Twins last season where allowed one run in 2 1/3 innings.
