MLB Injury Report

Ketel Marte – 2B Arizona Diamondbacks

Marte had to be removed late in last night’s game, but there’s a chance that he will return to the lineup today. As Lovullo said, we won’t know until we see how his body reacts overnight.

Jordan Westburg – INF Baltimore Orioles

Hyde said that he is hopeful for Westburg’s availability today, but he’s been sporadically used lately so it wouldn’t be surprising to see him sit.

Yoan Moncada – 3B Chicago White Sox

Consider Moncada DTD while he rests his back. As it stands, it doesn’t seem to be a serious injury.

Noelvi Marte – SS Cincinnati Reds

Since this happened, it has been determined that Marte has avoided a concussion, and was treated for a minor cut. All that being said, it’s a painful way to miss game or two.

Austin Meadows – OF Detroit Tigers

It remains to be seen how Meadows will return to the team, if at all, next season. He is arbitration-eligible but has played in 42 games over the past two seasons due to anxiety.

Nolan Schanuel – 1B Los Angeles Angels

The injury isn’t believed to be serious, but it’s unclear as to when Schanuel will return to the Angels’ lineup. Consider him DTD for now until we’re told otherwise.

Shohei Ohtani – UT Los Angeles Angels

The team has yet to change anything regarding Ohtani’s status. He is still DTD, but no decision to shut him down has been made either.

Luis Rengifo – INF Los Angeles Angels

Rengifo’s season ends on a sour note, but he could come back next season and compete for a spot on the roster.

Anthony Rendon – 3B Los Angeles Angels

Rendon is working his way back to the Angels’ lineup in the hopes of playing 22 games next season.

Mookie Betts – INF/OF Los Angeles Dodgers

Betts says that his foot feels much better and that it came when he fouled a pitch off of it. He doesn’t seem overly concerned with the injury itself, but most players never are. As it stands, he should be back in the lineup within the next few days.

Christian Yelich – OF Milwaukee Brewers

There was some worry initially that this could have been the start of something significant. While it still might be, this reassuring statement from manager Craig Counsell should ease some of the panic. It looks like Yelich will be back when he’s ready, and that day may not be too far down the road.

Luis Severino – SP New York Yankees

A High-grade oblique strain (Grade 3) has a typical timeline of 3-4 months for recovery. As such, he will still be recovering when free agency begins on November 10 of this year. It’s unclear if that will impact his future earnings as much as his performance this past season. Either way here’s hoping he returns to his past form in 2024, wherever that may be.

Henry Davis – C/OF Pittsburgh Pirates

It was Davis’ only hit of the night, but it was a big one. It remains to be seen if that ball has landed.

San Francisco Giants – Team Update

The Giants are in the thick of it with respect to the Wild Card hunt. It’s unfortunate that they have so many situations to deal with. It’s a testament to management for being able to deal with them all season long. The biggest news here is that Conforto could be back soon. Be prepared.

Shane Baz – SP Tampa Bay Rays

It’s been a good year for Baz, as he continues to work his way back from last September’s Tommy John Surgery. He is unlikely to return this season and remains a solid fantasy option for 2024.

Isaac Paredes – INF Tampa Bay Rays

Paredes looks to be ready to return in a few days (hopefully) as he has a bone bruise. This is fantastic news as the Rays need him more than ever right now as they try to win the AL East.

Josh Jung – 3B Texas Rangers

Jung was able to hit a baseball off of a tee earlier in the week and the team has decided to push the gas pedal. It remains to be seen if he actually will return when rumored, but this is a promising development nonetheless.

MacKenzie Gore – SP Washington Nationals

This will likely end Gore’s season.
