  • Tyler Glasnow SP | LAD

    Dodgers' Tyler Glasnow: Officially placed on IL

    Glasnow has been placed on the 15-day injured list due to right shoulder inflammation, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.

    The Dodgers announced earlier Monday that a trip to the injured list appeared likely for Glasnow, and the club made the move official a short time later. Noah Davis was recalled from Triple-A Oklahoma City in a corresponding move, though Ben Casparius appears to be one of the top candidates to replace Glasnow in the starting rotation.

  • Nationals' Trevor Williams: Clobbered in loss

    Williams (1-3) took the loss Monday against the Mets, allowing five runs on five hits and two walks over 5.1 innings. He struck out five.

    The Washington right-hander entered this contest on a roll, yielding just two runs across his previous 10 innings. After allowing three runs through the first five frames, Williams unraveled in the sixth inning and was pulled after walking consecutive batters. Colin Poche relieved Williams and conceded a three-run homer to Brandon Nimmo to tag two additional runs on the starter. Williams now sports an unsightly 5.70 ERA, 1.53 WHIP and 26:9 K:BB across 30 innings. He currently lines up to make his next start against the Reds in Cincinnati this weekend.

  • Robert Calaz CF | COL

    Rockies' Robert Calaz: Out with injury

    Single-A Fresno placed Calaz on its 7-day injured list April 7 due to an unspecified injury.

    Calaz played just one game for Fresno before landing on the shelf a few days later. Regarded as one of the top prospects in the lower levels of the Colorado system, the 19-year-old Calaz hit .327 with two home runs and three stolen bases in 13 games for Fresno last season.

  • Blake Treinen RP | LAD

    Dodgers' Blake Treinen: Still shut down from throwing

    Treinen (forearm) has not yet been cleared to resume throwing, Matthew Moreno of DodgerBlue.com reports.

    Manager Dave Roberts stated Monday that the club isn't in any hurry to move Treinen along before he's ready, and he'll remain shut down for an undisclosed period of time. Treinen was officially placed on the 15-day injured list April 19 with right forearm tightness and is eligible to return later in the week, though it appears he'll miss more than the minimum while on the mend.

  • Nick Martini DH | COL

    Rockies' Nick Martini: On bench vs. righty

    Martini is out of the lineup for Monday's game against Atlanta.

    The left-handed-hitting Martini was on the bench for three of the past four games. with all three absences coming while the Rockies went up against left-handed pitching. Right-hander Bryce Elder is on the mound for Atlanta on Monday, but Martini will still find himself out of the starting nine. Even though the recent demotion of Zac Veen to Triple-A Albuquerque has eased the logjam in the corner outfield, Martini still looks like he may have to settle for a part-time role while he's supplied a meager .606 OPS so far this season.

  • Jake Fraley RF | TB

    Reds' Jake Fraley: Dealing with quad injury

    Fraley was a late scratch from Monday's lineup against the Cardinals due to a right quadriceps contusion, Charlie Goldsmith of the Dayton Daily News reports.

    Fraley was originally slated to start in right field Monday, but he was removed from the lineup with an undisclosed injury, which is now understood to be a quadriceps issue. The outfielder can be considered day-to-day for the time being and Blake Dunn would stand to see an increase in workload if Fraley is forced to miss any action moving forward.

  • Blake Snell SP | LAD

    Dodgers' Blake Snell: Receives injection as expected

    Snell received an injection to assist in treating his left shoulder inflammation Monday, Doug McKain of Dodgers Nation reports.

    This isn't a significant update on the southpaw, who was expected to receive an injection after dealing with inflammation in his left shoulder. However, it'll be worth keeping a close eye on how Snell feels in the days after the injection, as there isn't currently a firm timetable on when he'll be cleared to resume throwing.

  • Tyler Glasnow SP | LAD

    Dodgers' Tyler Glasnow: IL stint appears likely

    Manager Dave Roberts stated Monday that Glasnow is likely looking at a stint on the 15-day injured list, and he's now being evaluated by the club's medical staff for overall body soreness in addition to right shoulder soreness, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.

    It was initially reported that a trip to the injured list was merely a possibility for Glasnow, but further evaluation has revealed that a shut-down period is likely necessary. The 31-year-old departed Sunday's start against the Pirates due to right shoulder discomfort, and the team is still working to determine the extent of the issue after it was revealed Monday that Glasnow is also dealing with overall body soreness.

  • Jake Fraley RF | TB

    Reds' Jake Fraley: Late scratch Monday

    Fraley has been scratched from Monday's lineup against the Cardinals, Charlie Goldsmith of the Dayton Daily News reports.

    It's unclear why Fraley was removed, but he'll be replaced in the lineup by Blake Dunn, who will start in right field. Fraley has gone 0-for-12 with three walks, two stolen bases and one run scored over his last four games.

  • Kris Bryant RF | COL

    Rockies' Kris Bryant: Having follow-up scans on back

    Rockies general manager Bill Schmidt said that Bryant (back) visited with Dr. Robert Watkins on Monday and will undergo follow-up scans, Thomas Harding of MLB.com reports.

    The results of that imaging will determine the next steps for Bryant's rehab. Bryant was placed on the 10-day injured list in mid-April and subsequently diagnosed with lumbar degenerative disc disease. The 33-year-old has managed just a .400 OPS over 41 plate appearances in 11 games this season.
