  • Mariners still await results of Andrés Muñoz’ MRI
    The Mariners are still awaiting the results of the MRI exam on the injured back of right-hander Andrés Muñoz.

    Advice: The Mariners have yet to make a roster move prior to Wednesday’s game against the Athletics and Muñoz was with the rest of the M’s relievers in the bullpen during warmups, though he did not throw. If a save situation should arise while Muñoz is sidelined, Ryne Stanek looks like the most likely candidate to fill that role. Rotoworld Wednesday, 4:58 pm
     
  • DL Hall getting additional opinion on knee
    DL Hall is going to California for a second opinion on his ailing knee.

    Advice: Hall will be examined by Dr. Neal ElAttrache. That’s typically a reason for pessimism, but the Brewers seem encouraged that Hall’s knee is getting better. He’s been sidelined since late April with what was described as a sprain. Rotoworld Wednesday, 11:45 am

  • Blake Snell’s MRI reveals mild groin strain
    An MRI showed only a mild groin strain for Blake Snell, according to Giants manager Bob Melvin.

    Advice: It sounds like this will be a shorter absence than the month-long one he had just returned from. He will miss at least two starts after being placed on the injured list Monday. Rotoworld Wednesday, 11:25 am
     
  • MRI shows mild groin strain
    Snell was diagnosed Wednesday with a mild left groin strain following an MRI, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

    Advice: The Giants expect to have a better idea Thursday as to a potential timetable for Snell to return to the mound, but the initial imaging seems to have revealed relatively good news. Snell's tenure with the Giants has gotten off to a rocky start, as he's posted a 9.51 ERA in five starts and has made a pair of trips to the injured list. Rotowire.com Wednesday, 11:22 am

  • Shifted to 60-day IL
    The Astros transferred Urquidy (elbow) from the 15-day injured list to the 60-day IL on Wednesday, Matt Kawahara of the Houston Chronicle reports.

    Advice: The transaction frees up a 40-man roster spot for right-hander Nick Hernandez. Urquidy has been on the shelf all season with a right forearm strain, and after suffering a setback during his rehab assignment in late May, he underwent season-ending surgery on his elbow Wednesday. The Astros haven't disclosed whether Urquidy underwent the second Tommy John surgery of his career or another procedure, making his availability for the start of the 2025 season uncertain at the moment.

  • Making steady progress
    Erceg (forearm) has begun playing catch and could throw a bullpen session as early as Sunday, the Associated Press reports.

    Advice: The talented setup man just went on the IL on Friday with a retroactive designation to May 26, and Erceg may possibly be tracking toward an on-time return if this latest news is any indication. Assuming the bullpen session unfolds on schedule and without setbacks, Erceg could potentially be activated Monday, the first day he'd be eligible. Rotowire.com Wednesday, 8:30 am

  • Getting season-ending surgery
    The Astros announced that Urquidy will undergo season-ending surgery Wednesday on his right elbow, Matt Kawahara of the Houston Chronicle reports.

    Advice: Houston didn't provide any specifics on the nature of the surgery, but more details should come out once the procedure is completed. Urquidy previously underwent Tommy John surgery in 2017 during his time in the minor leagues, so he could instead be getting an internal brace procedure, which would likely shorten his recovery timeline while perhaps increasing the longevity of his career. In any case, Urquidy is being shut down for the rest of the season, and his availability for the start of the 2025 campaign could also be affected regardless of what type of surgery he gets. Urquidy opened the season on the Astros' injured list with a right forearm strain and made three rehab starts before suffering a setback. Rotowire.com Wednesday, 7:48 am

  • Dealing with back injury
    Munoz has been dealing with a lower-back injury over the past few weeks and aggravated the injury during his collision with Oakland's Max Schuemann in Tuesday's 4-3 win, Daniel Kramer of MLB.com reports. He recorded two outs and was charged with one earned run on two hits en route to collecting his fourth hold of the season.

    Advice: The initial concern following Munoz's removal from Tuesday's game was with his right ankle/leg, which seemed to get pinned underneath Schuemann, but the issue now appears to be linked to the closer's ongoing back problem. Manager Scott Servais said Munoz will head in for an MRI on Wednesday to determine the severity of his latest flareup, at which point the Mariners will likely make a decision on whether or not the 25-year-old righty will require a trip to the injured list. Should Munoz have to miss time, Ryne Stanek would likely be the next man up for saves. Rotowire.com Tuesday, 10:04 pm
