Mets' J.D. Davis: Managing joint inflammation
Davis (finger/neck) underwent an MRI that showed joint inflammation in his left hand and will receive treatment before resuming baseball activities, Tim Britton of The Athletic reports.
The 28-year-old had his rehab assignment at Triple-A Syracuse paused over the weekend due to neck stiffness, and he returned to the Mets to be evaluated after experiencing some hand soreness during a workout. Davis appeared close to returning from the injured list, but that timeline has now been pushed back while he's receiving treatment for the inflammation.

Mets' J.D. Davis: Pauses rehab to receive treatment
Davis (finger/neck) returned to New York City from his rehab stint at Triple-A Syracuse to receive treatment, Tim Healey of Newsday reports.
The 28-year-old was expected to be in the lineup Tuesday for Syracuse after his rehab assignment was paused over the weekend due to neck stiffness, but he instead rejoined the team for treatment. According to Justin Toscano of The Bergen Record, Davis hasn't suffered any setbacks with the finger or neck, so he may still be able to return from the injured list early next week as previously expected.

Marlins' Brian Anderson: Facing multi-week absence
GM Kim Ng said Tuesday that Anderson (shoulder) will be sidelined for at least the next several weeks, Craig Mish of SportsGrid.com reports.
The 28-year-old landed on the injured list earlier Tuesday with a left shoulder subluxation, and he'll end up being sidelined well beyond the 10-day minimum. Anderson can safely be ruled out into mid-June, though it's possible he misses more time. Jon Berti and Isan Diaz are the likely candidates to see reps at third base in the meantime.

Patrick Wisdom 3B | SEA
Cubs' Patrick Wisdom: Recalled from Triple-A
The Cubs recalled Wisdom from Triple-A Iowa on Tuesday, Maddie Lee of NBC Sports Chicago reports.
The first and third baseman has struggled to the tune of a .160 average in 25 minor-league at-bats this season; however, three of his four hits have been homers. Wisdom will provide much-needed infield depth while Matt Duffy (back) spends time on the injured list.

Matt Duffy 3B | TEX
Cubs' Matt Duffy: Placed on injured list
Duffy was placed on the 10-day injured list Tuesday with a lower-back strain, Maddie Lee of NBC Sports Chicago reports.
Originally labeled back tightness, Duffy's condition appears to be more serious than the Cubs initially thought. Having hit .286 in his last 13 games. the 30-year-old has been a reliable option at a number of positions and will be sorely missed while his back heals.
