Fantasy Baseball Injury Roundup
Kevin Kiermaier (OF – TOR)
Kevin Kiermaier, is currently day-to-day due to a left wrist contusion. Kiermaier saw limited action this past weekend, and the team is hoping Monday’s off day will aid his recovery. Keep an eye on his status as the week progresses.
Brandon Belt (1B – TOR)
After leaving Saturday’s game due to hamstring tightness, Toronto first baseman Brandon Belt underwent an MRI on his injured left hamstring. The good news is there’s “no structural damage.” Monitor Belt’s progress to see if he’ll be healthy enough to return to action Tuesday after Monday’s rest day.
Blake Snell (SP – SD)
Padres’ ace Blake Snell was pulled from his Sunday start due to ankle swelling. X-rays came back negative, and Snell is considered day-to-day. Despite the setback, his status for his next start appears optimistic.
Liam Hendriks (RP – CWS)
White Sox relief pitcher Liam Hendriks is on the 15-day IL due to right elbow inflammation. Since rejoining the team late last month, Hendriks’ performance has been shaky. Tanner Banks has been called up to fill his spot for the time being.
Alec Bohm (1B, 3B – PHI)
The Phillies third baseman Alec Bohm has been activated from the IL following a hamstring issue. After an underwhelming May, fantasy managers will hope to see Bohm bounce back this month.
Adalberto Mondesi (SS – BOS)
Adalberto Mondesi, the Red Sox’s speedster, is not making any progress in his rehab from a torn ACL. With no significant advancements, fantasy managers might want to consider other options for the time being.
Trevor Story (2B – BOS)
Red Sox’s Trevor Story is making progress in his rehab from off-season elbow surgery, but he isn’t ready for live pitching yet. With his return timeline now uncertain, managers should plan for extended downtime.
Cedric Mullins II (OF – BAL)
Good news for Orioles’ fans as Cedric Mullins II, suffering from a right groin strain, is starting to participate in baseball activities. While there’s no exact return date yet, it seems like progress is being made.
Jorge Polanco (2B – MIN)
Twins’ infielder Jorge Polanco is on the 10-day IL due to a left hamstring strain. The severity and return timeline are still unclear, with Edouard Julien being recalled from Triple-A as a replacement.
Vinnie Pasquantino (1B – KC)
The Royals placed Vinnie Pasquantino on the 10-day IL due to right shoulder instability. Nick Pratto is expected to fill in as the everyday first baseman for now.
Ryan Mountcastle (1B – BAL)
Ryan Mountcastle was out of the Orioles’ lineup due to illness on Saturday but might be available off the bench. His return to the lineup seems imminent.
Akil Baddoo (OF – DET)
Tigers’ outfielder Akil Baddoo has been placed on the 10-day IL with a right quad strain. With a corresponding move, utility player Nick Solak has been promoted from Triple-A.
Ben Joyce (RP – LAA)
Angels’ reliever Ben Joyce is expected to head to the IL due to right-hand irritation. The Angels are awaiting further testing but are likely to err on the side of caution.
Lourdes Gurriel Jr. (OF – ARI)
Blue Jays’ Lourdes Gurriel Jr. was back in the lineup, serving as the designated hitter after being sidelined due to a groin injury. He’s been hot at the plate since the beginning of May and is a player to watch moving forward.
Remember to keep an eye on these injury updates and adjust your lineups accordingly. Stay ahead of the curve, and best of luck in your fantasy matchups this week!
