Orlando Arcia – SS Atlanta Braves

Arcia injured himself after taking a pitch on the wrist. There were tests done, but they came back negative for a fracture. Time will tell if he needs to go on the Injured List.

Kyle Bradish – SP Baltimore Orioles

Bradish has been setback-free since injuring his foot. He can return on April 19 at the earliest.

Anthony Santander – OF Baltimore Orioles

This doesn’t seem like something to worry about for Santander, but it’s something to monitor nonetheless.

Brayan Bello – SP Boston Red Sox

The most important thing with Bello’s recovery from an early season injury has been how his body bounces back. Since the beginning, he’s responded well to whatever hurdle he’s had to overcome. While the likeliest outcome is his debuting in his next outing, one can’t rule out the possibility that he’ll throw another start in the minors.

Masataka Yoshida – OF Boston Red Sox

The team is playing it safe here with Yoshida, so he’ll likely miss today’s game. There will be more updates available later today.

Dansby Swanson – SS Chicago Cubs

With the team having a day off today, Swanson will have two days to recover from Tuesday’s early exit. He is DTD for now, with the likelihood of returning Friday looking almost certain.

Randal Grichuk – OF Colorado Rockies

Great news that he is feeling great and moving well. It has also been noted that Grichuk is about two or three weeks away from returning to the team. Essentially he could be ready by the beginning of May.

German Marquez -SP Colorado Rockies

Resting the muscles in the injured arm is all that’s apparently what’s needed for Marquez. Owners everywhere can breathe a sigh of relief for now while we see how that rest works out for him.

Michael Lorenzen – SP Detroit Tigers

Be prepared.

Miguel Rojas – SS Los Angeles Dodgers

Rojas just returned from a groin injury, and now this happened. Consider him DTD until otherwise noted.

Avisail Garcia – OF Miami Marlins, Garrett Cooper – 1B Miami Marlins

Two notable omissions from yesterday’s lineup. Garcia hasn’t played all week, and the Marlins have today off. Look for a return or an Injury List designation by tomorrow’s game. As for Cooper, he exited Tuesday’s game early and will benefit from this off-day too. Expect a decision before tomorrow’s game on him also.

Byron Buxton – OF Minnesota Twins

Buxton will be examined today to ensure that all is well. It was also noted that he wouldn’t have gone back into the game had his turn come up in the lineup. A very unlucky injury here that hopefully won’t require much time off.

Kyle Farmer – SS Minnesota Twins

Farmer got HBP in the mouth and stayed down in agony for quite a while. He avoided anything considerably major, as there were no fractures anywhere. While none of this is considered lucky, he is fortunate that it wasn’t any worse than it was. Wishing him all the best for a speedy recovery.

Carlos Correa – SS Minnesota Twins

Great news in that it seems like Correa will be able to return. The team will need him, given the rash of injuries sustained recently. Stay tuned.

Joey Gallo – 1B/OF Minneosta Twins

Great to see that Gallo is already going to begin a rehab assignment. Expect his stay on the Injured List to be minimal.

Edwin Diaz – RP New York Mets

The optimism is admired, but everything has to go right, and then some, for him to return and pitch effectively. It also means that the team has to make it to October, which is by no means a guarantee.

DJ LeMahieu – INF New York Mets

Consider LeMahieu DTD until otherwise noted. Isiah Kiner-Falefa will likely take his place, as he did on Wednesday.

Bryce Harper – DH Philadelphia Phillies

Interesting idea that just might pay off. As it states here though, this doesn’t change Harper’s timeline for a return to at-bats as the team’s DH.

Darick Hall – 1B Philadelphia Phillies

Great news as Hall is wished well for a speedy recovery.

Ranger Suarez – SP Philadelphia Phillies

Slowly, but surely, he is getting better. There was some speculation about going right to a rehab assignment, but the team is convinced that a much slower pace is what’s best.

JT Brubaker – SP Pittsburgh Pirates

A disappointing end to a promising start, Brubaker won’t be a fantasy option until 2025.

Joe Musgrove – SP San Diego Padres

This is a much-improved update after reading that he fell while fielding a ball in his last rehab outing. If Musgrove does in fact start again on Friday, it shouldn’t be long afterward that he can debut with the Padres.

Michael Conforto – OF San Francisco Giants

The hope is that Conforto won’t miss much time with this injury. The team has enough injury concerns as is.

Lars Nootbaar – OF St. Louis Cardinals

Nootbaar will get a rehab assignment after all, as there was speculation that he’d be back without one. No word on how long this will be, but he seems primed to be back in the Cardinals’ lineup in less than a week.

Corey Seager – SS Texas Rangers

Simply horrible news here, as Seager had a terrific start to the season. He will miss at least one month due to this injury, but there’s no guarantee that it won’t be more than this. He’ll need to be re-evaluated before anything and a lengthy rehab assignment seems to be in the cards. Josh Smith is the beneficiary of this injury in Seager’s absence.
