MLB Injury Report

Ryan Mountcastle – 1B Baltimore Orioles

It is unclear whether or not Mountcastle will be able to return on June 20 when he is first eligible to do so.

Tanner Houck – SP Boston Red Sox

The team has said that he has a facial contusion, which means that it’s a bruise. It’s been reported that he has never lost consciousness and that he was making jokes with teammates at the hospital throughout the night. It’s unclear as to whether or not he’ll need an Injury List designation or not.

Justin Steele – SP Chicago Cubs

Be prepared.

Mike Clevinger – SP Chicago White Sox

Despite there being no structural damage after experiencing discomfort in his last start, Clevinger will need time on the Injured List for his ailing bicep. It’s unclear if he will need more than the fifteen-day minimum.

Triston McKenzie – SP Cleveland Guardians

McKenzie has missed most of the season with shoulder issues. Now, he will likely miss time with an elbow issue. This is nowhere near being anything close to good news, but we will know more once the results of the MRI come through.

Tarik Skubal – SP Detroit Tigers

Skubal has looked solid while pitching in his rehab assignment. His next one could be his last. Stay tuned.

Eduardo Rodriguez – SP Detroit Tigers

Rodriguez is said to be itching to do more every day, which could mean that he is feeling better at a faster rate than expected. There is no timetable set here, but a late-July/early-August return seems possible.

Michael Massey – 2B Kansas City Royals

Consider Massey DTD while he takes care of this finger.

Salvador Perez – C Kansas City Royals

It’s looking like Perez will miss the weekend, but a return early next week seems possible.

Anthony Rendon – 1B Los Angeles Angels, Gio Urshela – INF Los Angeles Angels

Consider Rendon DTD, while Urshela looks to be gone long-term. As for Renfroe, this has nothing to do with anything injury-related, but having first-base eligibility would be a very intriguing development.

Max Muncy – 3B Los Angeles Dodgers

The world’s worst-kept secret is finally revealed, as Muncy will miss at least ten days with his injured hamstring. We’ll know at some point whether or not this is a Grade one or Grade two level injury.

Chris Taylor – OF Los Angeles Dodgers, David Peralta – OF Los Angeles Dodgers

We will know about the conditions of both players once tests and imaging results have been revealed if it even gets to that point. For now, consider them DTD.

Jesse Winker – OF Milwaukee Brewers

It’ll happen this weekend.

Pete Alonso – 1B New York Mets

Alonso was given a timetable of up to one month to be away. This is a great step forward in his attempt to return sooner than that.

Jonathan Loaisgia – RP New York Yankees

Loaisiga is basically starting from scratch, and here is the first step forward. It will be a long time before he returns.

Nestor Cortes – SP New York Yankees

Following his two-week shutdown, Cortes is ready to start throwing again. He is starting from the beginning here, but he should pass through the stages to get better quicker than the aforementioned Loaisiga.

Aaron Judge – OF New York Yankees

Judge continues to get injections in his toe, and the second ligament reveal is a bit worrisome. Perhaps that’s the reason for his not being back yet. Time will tell, but it doesn’t seem like he is ready to return anytime soon. Though when asked, manager Aaron Boone said that he could be back in a week or in four, he doesn’t know.

Carlos Rodon – SP New York Yankees

This is good news, but it will likely be a lengthy assignment at that. Rodon has yet to pitch this year and will need to build himself up and be able to do everything he’s normally done.

Harrison Bader – OF New York Yankees

Be prepared (again).

Mitch Haniger – OF San Francisco Giants

Unfortunate news for the Giants, who just can’t get healthy this season. Haniger himself would make for an interesting stash later this summer. Keep an eye on his progression while he works his way back.

Tyler O’Neill – OF St. Louis Cardinals

This pushes O’Neill’s earliest return date to July 4, but there’s no guarantee that he’ll make it back then. He was also cleared to play catch yesterday.

Lars Nootbar – OF St. Louis Cardinals

The hope remains that he will be able to play while the team is in London.

Josh Fleming – SP Tampa Bay Rays

This decision salved Fleming’s season, as surgery may have put him on the shell indefinitely.
