Nick Lodolo SP | CIN
Reds' Nick Lodolo: Move to IL official
The Reds placed Lodolo (finger) on the 15-day injured list Wednesday.
Lodolo had been slated to pitch during the Reds' first series of the season but will instead hit the shelf after he exited his final Grapefruit League start last weekend when he developed a blister on his left index finger. The southpaw was able to resume playing catch Tuesday, so assuming his finger presents no further issues for him while he builds back up, he could be ready to return from the IL when first eligible April 7.

Blake Snell SP | LAD
Dodgers' Blake Snell: Moved to 15-day IL
The Dodgers placed Snell (shoulder) on the 15-day injured list Monday.
Snell has been working his way back from left shoulder fatigue, an issue that's lingered since last season. He's begun throwing off a mound but will not be ready for his season debut until late May, at the earliest. The Dodgers could eventually shift Snell to the 60-day IL when/if they need a 40-man roster spot.

Bobby Miller SP | LAD
Dodgers' Bobby Miller: Lands on 60-day IL
The Dodgers placed Miller (shoulder) on the 60-day injured list Monday.
Miller was slowed by shoulder soreness this spring, and the injury is evidently bad enough that the Dodgers opted to go ahead and put him on the 60-day IL. The righty converted to a relief role in the minors last season and is surely headed back to Triple-A Oklahoma City once he returns to full health.

Kevin McGonigle SS | DET
Tigers' Kevin McGonigle: Officially added to roster
The Tigers selected McGonigle's contract from Double-A Erie on Wednesday.
The transaction was merely a formality after the Tigers confirmed Tuesday that the 21-year-old star prospect would be included on the Opening Day roster. McGonigle earned the right to bypass the Triple-A level and make his MLB debut Thursday in San Diego after slashing .250/.411/.477 with two home runs and two stolen bases over 56 plate appearances in spring training. He's expected to handle an everyday role while splitting time between third base and shortstop, and he could occupy a prominent spot in the batting order right away.

Brusdar Graterol RP | LAD
Dodgers' Brusdar Graterol: Heads to IL
The Dodgers placed Graterol (shoulder) on the 15-day injured list Monday.
Graterol didn't make any spring training appearances and has had difficulty regaining velocity since undergoing right shoulder surgery in November 2024. He's been throwing, but it's unclear when he might be an option for the Dodgers bullpen.

Gavin Stone SP | LAD
Dodgers' Gavin Stone: Opening season on IL
The Dodgers placed Stone (shoulder) on the 15-day injured list Monday.
Stone experienced a setback with his surgically repaired right shoulder early in spring training and was shut down from throwing, though he's now considered pain-free and should start playing catch soon, per MLB.com. While recent imaging on Stone's shoulder revealed nothing more than inflammation, the Dodgers are expected to take a deliberate approach with the right-hander. The Dodgers are leaving the door open for Stone to return from the IL during the first half, though a more precise target date for his activation won't become clearer until he's ready to go on a minor-league rehab assignment.

Tommy Edman 2B | LAD
Dodgers' Tommy Edman: Move to IL made official
The Dodgers placed Edman (ankle) on the 10-day injured list Monday.
The IL move for Edman was a formality, as he's still working his way back from right ankle surgery and didn't play in any Cactus League contests. The Dodgers are aiming for Edman to be ready for his season debut around late May. Per MLB.com, Edman has been able to take batting practice and recently progressed to straight-line running.

Landon Knack SP | LAD
Dodgers' Landon Knack: Goes on injured list
The Dodgers placed Knack on the 15-day injured list Monday due to an intercostal strain, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.
Knack wasn't known to be dealing with an injury coming out of spring training, and it's unclear how long he might be sidelined to begin the season. He was roughed up for eight runs over 6.2 innings during Cactus League play, which had effectively took him out of the running for a spot on the Opening Day pitching staff. The Dodgers are dealing with multiple injuries in their rotation, so Knack could get some starts if his injury doesn't prove to be a long-term concern.

Gerrit Cole SP | NYY
Yankees' Gerrit Cole: Move to IL made official
The Yankees placed Cole (elbow) on the 15-day injured list Wednesday.
Cole got into a couple games this spring, allowing one run with a 3:0 K:BB over 2.2 innings. The veteran right-hander continues to check all the boxes as he works his way back from March 2025 Tommy John surgery with an internal brace, and the Yankees anticipate Cole being ready to rejoin their rotation by the end of May.
