Fantasy Baseball Injury Roundup
Eloy Jimenez (OF – CWS)
White Sox outfielder Eloy Jimenez has hit a bit of a speed bump. Suffering a groin injury on Sunday, he could potentially be sidelined for the next four to five days. Not to worry, though. Jimenez is considered day-to-day and should be back in action by next weekend, provided there are no setbacks.
Bobby Miller (SP – LAD)
Rising star Bobby Miller had to leave his start early on Sunday due to discomfort in his right knee. He’s reported that he’s “all good.” He wanted to stay in the game, but the coaching staff played it safe. So, expect him on the mound for his next start.
Jason Heyward (OF – LAD)
The Dodgers’ Jason Heyward gave us a bit of a scare on Sunday when he jammed his neck sliding into second base. Luckily, he passed all concussion tests and is considered day-to-day. It’s likely he’ll sit out a few games before making his return later this week.
Chris Devenski (RP – LAA)
Angels’ Chris Devenski is the latest addition to the injured list, with a hamstring injury prompting this decision. There’s no clear timetable for his return yet. A corresponding move is expected to be announced on Monday, so keep your eyes peeled for that.
Shane Bieber (SP – CLE)
Finally some good news! Shane Bieber does not need surgery after his consultation with the doctor. He’ll refrain from throwing for a couple of weeks and will be evaluated on a week-by-week basis. His numbers may not match his stellar 2022 season, but with his long-term absence avoided, he still holds value in quality start leagues.
Seranthony Dominguez (RP – PHI)
Seranthony Dominguez, dealing with an oblique injury, is set to throw another session of live batting practice on July 18th. There were a few inconsistencies in his first session, but he finished without any major hiccups. Expect him to head out on a rehab assignment before being activated by the Phillies.
Jose Alvarado (RP – PHI)
Jose Alvarado’s situation is a little less clear. Having received a cortisone injection on July 10 for his elbow injury, he hasn’t been cleared to throw yet. There’s no timetable for his return, so fantasy managers will need to be patient.
Cristian Pache (OF – PHI)
Cristian Pache is set to undergo surgery on his right elbow to remove an irritating screw. He will be out for an extended period, but the hope is to have him back before the season concludes.
Salvador Perez (C – KC)
Salvador Perez suffered left hamstring discomfort during Sunday’s game and had to make an early exit. After further testing, he’s considered day-to-day for now.
Remember, staying informed is the first step to winning your league. Keep those lineups updated, and keep grinding!
