Cristopher Sanchez SP | PHI
Phillies' Cristopher Sanchez: Placed on 15-day IL

Ranger Suarez SP | BOS
Phillies' Ranger Suarez: Moved to 15-day IL
Suarez (forearm) was placed on the 15-day injured list Thursday, retroactive to March 27.
Suarez fell behind the other Phillies starters when he came down with forearm tightness in early March. Imaging tests have ruled out any structural damage and the hope is that he can hop into the rotation for the reigning NL champs sometime before the end of April. He threw a bullpen session Wednesday without issue.

Adam Wainwright SP | STL
Cardinals' Adam Wainwright: Placed on 15-day IL
Wainwright (groin) was placed on the 15-day injured list Thursday, retroactive to March 27.
Wainwright is projected to miss the first month of the 2023 regular season because of a groin strain that he suffered during a workout with Team USA in the World Baseball Classic. Miles Mikolas is taking the ball for the Cardinals on Opening Day.

Jared Shuster RP | STL
Braves' Jared Shuster: Added to big-league roster
Shuster had his contract selected by Atlanta on Thursday.
The 24-year-old lefty earned a spot in Atlanta's season-opening rotation and is penciled in to start Sunday in Washington, and he's now officially been added to the MLB roster. Shuster had a 3.29 ERA and 145:38 K:BB across 139.1 innings between the Double-A and Triple-A levels last season, but he earned the rotation spot largely on a dominant spring training during which held opponents to a .115 average with a 1.45 ERA in 18.2 frames.

Huascar Ynoa SP | LAA
Braves' Huascar Ynoa: Back on 60-day IL
Ynoa (elbow) was placed on the 60-day injured list Thursday, retroactive to March 27.
Ynoa finished last season on the 60-day IL after he underwent Tommy John surgery in September, so his move back there to open 2023 was inevitable. The 24-year-old is expected to miss the entire season but could be ready for spring training in 2024.
-
Kolby Allard RP | CLE
Braves' Kolby Allard: Lands on 60-day IL
Allard (oblique) was placed on the 60-day injured list Thursday, retroactive to March 27.
Allard suffered a Grade 2 right oblique strain in early March, and his move to the 60-day IL guarantees he'll be out for at least the first two months of the campaign. The 25-year-old was acquired from the Rangers in November and will likely head to Triple-A Gwinnett once healthy.
-
Kyle Hendricks SP | LAA
Cubs' Kyle Hendricks: Shifts to injured list
Hendricks (shoulder) was placed on the 15-day injured list Thursday, retroactive to March 27.
The veteran right-hander spent spring training going through his rehab program for the right shoulder capsular tear he suffered in August, so his move to the injured list to begin the season isn't a surprise. Hendricks is close to facing live batters and could begin a rehab assignment within the next few weeks.
-
Stephen Strasburg SP | WAS
Nationals' Stephen Strasburg: Placed on 60-day IL
The Nationals placed Strasburg (ribs/shoulder) on the 60-day injured list Thursday while he continues to experience symptoms of thoracic outlet syndrome.
Strasburg's status for 2023 is up in the air after he had a nerve-related setback over the offseason. He can't be activated until late May at the soonest, and unless he's able to resume throwing within the next few weeks, his return will be much further off than that.
