  • A.J. Minter RP | MIN

    Mets' A.J. Minter: To have season-ending surgery

    Minter will undergo surgery May 12 to repair a torn left lat, Mike Puma of the New York Post reports.

    Minter was moved to the 60-day injured list Thursday, and it's since been disclosed that he's elected for season-ending surgery. The veteran southpaw was off to a strong start to the 2025 campaign, allowing only two runs in 13 appearances.

  • Dodgers' Teoscar Hernandez: Exits with hamstring injury

    Hernandez was removed from Monday's game against the Marlins due to left hamstring tightness.

    Hernandez picked up a pair of hits before being lifted from the matchup, though it's unclear as to when he felt the injury pop up. He'll be considered day-to-day until the club has more information on his availability moving forward. Chris Taylor entered the game in center field and Andy Pages shifted to right with Hernandez out of the game.

  • Diamondbacks' Justin Martinez: Set to begin throwing program

    Martinez (shoulder) will begin throwing later this week after being placed on the 15-day injured list Thursday, Alex Weiner of ArizonaSports.com reports.

    Martinez was placed on the 15-day IL with right shoulder inflammation Thursday, but he received promising imaging results Saturday, which didn't show any structural damage. The relief pitcher is first eligible to return to action May 16, but it's far too early to place a timeline on when he'll be able to make his return to the mound. Once Martinez picks a ball up later this week, there will be a better understanding of where he's at physically.

  • Jesse Winker DH | NYM

    Mets' Jesse Winker: Looking at lengthy absence

    Winker has been diagnosed with a Grade 2 oblique strain and is expected to miss the next 6-to-8 weeks, Abbey Mastracco of the New York Daily News reports.

    This is unfortunate news for Winker, who was officially placed on the 10-day injured list Monday after suffering a side injury during the first game of Sunday's twin bill against the Cardinals. The injury will open up plenty of opportunities for Starling Marte and Brett Baty in the DH slot.

  • Diamondbacks' Kendall Graveman: Moves rehab to Triple-A

    Graveman (back) will make a rehab appearance with Triple-A Reno on Wednesday, Alex Weiner of ArizonaSports.com reports.

    Graveman has missed the entirety of the 2025 campaign to this point while recovering from a right lumbar strain, but he appears to be on the cusp of returning to action with the Diamondbacks. After tossing 1.2 scoreless innings in a rehab outing in the rookie-level Arizona Complex League over the weekend, Graveman has now been cleared to shift his assignment to Reno, where he'll likely make a few appearances before being activated from the 15-day injured list.

  • Jake Irvin SP | WAS

    Nationals' Jake Irvin: Scheduled start rained out

    Irvin won't make his scheduled start Monday against the Guardians after the game was postponed due to inclement weather, Bobby Blanco of MASNSports.com reports.

    Irvin has been named the starter for Game 1 of his team's doubleheader Tuesday following the announcement that Monday's game has been postponed. He'll look to bounce back from his worst outing of the 2025 season, surrendering six runs on eight hits and three walks while striking out two over six innings against the Phillies on Wednesday.

  • Corbin Burnes SP | ARI

    Diamondbacks' Corbin Burnes: Throws on flat ground Monday

    Burnes (shoulder) threw on flat ground Monday, Jack Sommers of SI.com reports.

    Burnes is not making his scheduled start Monday against the Mets after experiencing fatigue in his right shoulder over his past two outings. It's the first time he's missed a start since he entered the rotation on a full-time basis in 2020. However, Burnes' session of catch Monday appeared to go well, and he and the Diamondbacks remain optimistic he can avoid the 15-day injured list and start this weekend versus the Dodgers.

  • Brett Baty 3B | NYM

    Mets' Brett Baty: Recalled from Triple-A

    The Mets recalled Baty from Triple-A Syracuse on Monday.

    He's grabbing the roster spot vacated by Jesse Winker (oblique). Baty is behind Luisangel Acuna and Jeff McNeil in the pecking order at second base and behind Mark Vientos at third base. His best shot at playing time in the short term might be at designated hitter, although Starling Marte should be at the top of the depth chart there.

  • Jesse Winker DH | NYM

    Mets' Jesse Winker: Officially lands on 10-day IL

    The Mets placed Winker on the 10-day injured list Monday with a right oblique strain.

    Winker suffered the injury Sunday during the first game of a doubleheader in St. Louis. The severity of the strain has now been revealed, but oblique injuries often results in longer than minimum stays on the IL. Starling Marte should soak up extra starts at designated hitter while Winker is out.

  • Giants' Tyler Fitzgerald: Doing light activities

    Fitzgerald (rib) is doing light activities and rehab work, Justice delos Santos of The San Jose Mercury News reports.

    Fitzgerald suffered a left rib fracture in late April and finally landed on the 10-day injured list on May 1 after tests revealed the diagnosis. He is expected to be sidelined at least two weeks, but it's a good sign that he's already doing some activities.
