    • Ramping up at complex
      Friedl (wrist) is ramping up baseball activities at the team's complex in Goodyear (Ariz.) and could begin playing games as a defensive player only this weekend, Mark Sheldon of MLB.com reports.

      Advice: After serving as a defensive player only, Friedl could move onto bunting in games and possibly a rehab assignment by the middle of next week. Cincinnati manager David Bell said he'll need between one and two weeks before being ready to return, noting the need to build up at-bats. Rotowire.com Today, 7:28 am

    • Dealing with Grade 2 MCL sprain
      Nationals manager Dave Martinez said that Thomas was placed on the 10-day injured list earlier Wednesday with a Grade 2 MCL sprain and is without a timeline for a return, Mark Zuckerman of MASNSports.com reports.

      Advice: Thomas sustained the injury in the fifth inning of Tuesday's 4-1 loss to the Dodgers and was diagnosed with the MCL sprain after getting an MRI. The outfielder was walking around without the aid of crutches Wednesday and acknowledged that he expects to avoid surgery, according to Andrew Golden of The Washington Post. A timeline for Thomas' return could come into focus once he resumes baseball activities, but fantasy managers should prepare for the outfielder to be sidelined beyond the minimum 10 days. Martinez said that Joey Gallo will get the first chance at replacing Thomas as Washington's primary right fielder. Rotowire.com Wednesday, 1:23 pm

    • Nationals place Lane Thomas (knee) on 10-day IL
      Nationals placed OF Lane Thomas on the 10-day injured list with a sprained left MCL.

      Advice: Tough news. The 28-year-old outfielder exited Tuesday’s game after he twisted his leg on a stolen base attempt and now will be sidelined for at least the next week. Thomas hit a nice stride in early April with three straight games with multiple hits, but he’s cooled off and has a batting line of .184/.250/.253 in 22 games this season.

    • Hits IL with MCL sprain
      The Nationals placed Thomas on the 10-day injured list Wednesday with an MCL sprain of his left knee.

      Advice: Thomas sustained the injury in Tuesday's 4-1 loss to the Dodgers and will be eligible for activation May 4, but given the nature of the knee issue, he'll likely need more than the minimum 10 days to make a full recovery. The Nationals called up infielder Trey Lipscomb from Triple-A Rochester in a corresponding move, and he could end up garnering regular starts at third base and serving as Thomas' de facto replacement if Washington is willing to move Nick Senzel off the hot corner and deploys him in the outfield or at designated hitter more frequently. After a breakout 2023 campaign in which he hit .268 with 28 home runs and 20 stolen bases, Thomas had slumped out of the gate with a .184/.250/.253 slash line with two home runs in 22 games, though he remained active on the basepaths (11 steals in 12 attempts).

    • Likely headed to injured list
      Nationals president of baseball operations Mike Rizzo said Wednesday in an interview on 106.7 The Fan that he anticipates Thomas (knee) going on the injured list, Andrew Golden of The Washington Post reports.

      Advice: There's no word yet on the results of the MRI on Thomas' left knee, but it sounds like he's bound for the IL even if the club gets good news. Thomas was injured during Tuesday's loss to the Dodgers while stealing second base in the fifth inning. The 28-year-old has started every game in right field for the Nationals this season. Joey Gallo has seen his playing time slip a bit recently but might get some run in right with Thomas out. Trey Lipscomb is expected to take Thomas' spot on the roster. Rotowire.com Wednesday, 8:26 am

    • Kyle Tucker tallies two hits in loss to Cubs.
      Kyle Tucker went 2-for-3 with a double and run scored in Tuesday’s loss to the Cubs.

      Advice: Tucker and the Astros played catchup all evening after a five-run first by the Cubs created an immediate deficit that proved too much to overcome. Tucker and Jose Altuve were the lone Astros to record multiple hits on the evening, as Tucker now has multi-hit performances in three of his last four games. He continues to stay hot batting in the middle of the Astros’ lineup and remains a top fantasy asset. Rotoworld Tuesday, 7:48 pm

    • Getting MRI on knee
      Thomas will receive an MRI on his left knee Wednesday, Mark Zuckerman of MASNSports.comreports.

      Advice: Thomas injured his knee while swiping a bag in the fifth inning of Tuesday's loss to the Dodgers. Once the results of his imaging come back, a better picture will emerge regarding the severity of his injury, as well as an estimate for how much time -- if any -- the 28-year-old will miss. Thomas is slashing .184/.250/.253 across 96 plate appearances this season. Rotowire.com Tuesday, 7:32 pm

    • Lane Thomas to undergo MRI on left knee
      Lane Thomas will undergo an MRI on Wednesday on his left knee.

      Advice: It’s certainly not what fantasy managers want to hear after Thomas made an early exit from Tuesday’s showdown against the Dodgers after twisting his left leg on a stolen base attempt. There should be an update on his status prior to Wednesday’s showdown. Fantasy managers should consider him day-to-day for the moment, but it’s possible he’ll wind up requiring a trip to the injured list. Rotoworld Tuesday, 7:30 pm

    • Exits early Tuesday
      Thomas was removed from Tuesday's game against the Dodgers with an apparent leg injury, Mark Zuckerman of MASNSports.com reports.

      Advice: Thomas appeared to tweak his left leg while stealing a base in the fifth inning, though he remained in the game briefly before being replaced on defense ahead of the seventh. The Nationals will take a closer look at him in the clubhouse and should offer more information on his status in the near future. Rotowire.com Tuesday, 5:50 pm
