Arizona Diamondbacks
Ketel Marte (2B, OF) – Hamstring
Marte was removed from his last game with a hamstring injury. Since being removed, he hasn’t been in the D-Backs lineup. While a trip to the IL hasn’t been mentioned, it is something to watch heading into next week.
Atlanta Braves
Ozzie Albies (2B) – Foot
Albies fouled a ball off of his foot which led to a fracture. All post-game tests revealed the fracture, and the Braves immediately placed him on the 60-day IL. He is expected to miss six-to-eight weeks.
Chicago Cubs
Frank Schwindel (1B) – Back
Schwindel was placed on the 10-day IL on Saturday as he deals with a lower back strain. He sustained the injury while running to second base and should only miss the minimum amount of time.
Chicago White Sox
Yasmani Grandal (C, 1B) – Back
Grandal was placed on the IL as he deals with lower back spasms. The back spasms started after he was removed from the game with a hamstring injury. Though he was feeling better the day after, the White Sox decided to be cautious with him.
Liam Hendriks (RP) – Forearm
After being placed on the IL with a forearm strain, the preliminary results say Hendriks will be out at least three weeks with the injury.
Yoan Moncada (3B) – Hamstring
Moncada was removed from his last game with a hamstring injury and is slated to undergo further testing before the Sox decide whether he will need another stint on the IL.
Houston Astros
Jeremy Pena (SS) – Thumb
After experiencing discomfort in his thumb, the Astros placed their shortstop in the IL to give him time to heal. The injury isn’t labeled as severe, and he should only miss the minimum amount of time.
Los Angeles Angels
Anthony Rendon (3B) – Wrist
Rendon is slated to miss the remainder of the season as he undergoes surgery on the same wrist he has had issues with in the past.
Los Angeles Dodgers
Mookie Betts (OF) – Ribs
Mookie is currently suffering from a cracked rib and was placed on the 10-day IL after the results came back from the MRI he underwent. He does not have a timeline for a return.
Miami Marlins
Edward Cabrera (SP) – Elbow
Cabrera was placed on the 15-day IL with right elbow tendinitis. After struggling with his last start, the injury results do not surprise the team, and fantasy managers should monitor his status on a weekly basis.
Milwaukee Brewers
Aaron Ashby (SP) – Forearm
After being removed from his last start with discomfort in his forearm, initial results from the tests he underwent have been positive. He has been able to throw since the injury occurred and is not expected to miss his next start.
Minnesota Twins
Jorge Polanco (2B, SS) – Back
Polanco went on the 10-day IL as he deals with lower back tightness. He had been held out of the lineup a few days before the Twins decided to make the move official, and he could be back after the 10 days are up.
New York Mets
Tylor Megill (SP) – Shoulder
Megill will be shut down for four weeks as he deals with a strain in his throwing shoulder. He was removed from his last start after 3.1 innings, and the MRI revealed the strain. He isn’t slated to return until late August.
San Diego Padres
Manny Machado (3B) – Ankle
Manny was removed from Sunday’s game after having to be helped off the field trying to run out a ground ball. Initial X-rays came back negative, but he will undergo further testing on Monday to assess the timetable for his return.
St. Louis Cardinals
Yadier Molina (C) – Knee
Molina has been dealing with right knee inflammation and was placed on the IL as he heals up. He received a cortisone injection in the knee and is without a timetable to return.
Tyler O’Neill (OF) – Hamstring
O’Neill was removed from the game on Sunday after experiencing tightness in his hamstring. Though initial reports are that it is nothing serious, the Cardinals will conduct further tests on their outfielder on Monday to determine if he will need to miss any time.
Tampa Bay Rays
Drew Rasmussen (SP, RP) – Hamstring
The right-hander was placed on the 15-day IL with a left hamstring strain. The injury is only slated to have him miss two starts in the rotations, and the team should update his status later this week.
Washington Nationals
Stephen Strasburg (SP) – Ribs
Strasburg is dealing with a stress reaction in his ribs that led to his placement on the injured list. Thoracic outlet syndrome is what he has been trying to work his way back from. The Nats do not have a timetable for his return.
