  • Suspended 80 games for PED use
    Martinez was suspended for 80 games for violating the league's drug prevention and treatment program, Shi Davidi of Sportsnet.ca reports.

    Advice: Two days after making his major-league debut against the Guardians on Friday, Martinez was suspended by the league after testing positive for clomiphene. In a statement following Martinez's suspension, Toronto general manager Ross Atkins fully supported the league's suspension of the 22-year-old prospect and said that the Blue Jays "will do everything in our power to ensure [Martinez] has learned from this mistake," per Davidi. The suspension will keep Martinez out of action until the tail end of the season, with a possible return date of Sept. 23 lining up with the start of the Blue Jays' penultimate series of the season against the Red Sox.

  • Amed Rosario suffers facial lacerations on Saturday
    Amed Rosario suffered facial lacerations when he was hit in the face by a 99.6-mph fastball during Saturday’s game against the Pirates.

    Advice: It sounds like the 28-year-old infielder was extremely fortunate to have avoided any broken bones in a terrifying situation on Saturday afternoon. It’s unclear if Rosario is going to require a trip to the injured list or will miss any time with the injury, but it’s incredibly encouraging to hear the early diagnosis. Rotoworld Yesterday, 2:59 pm

  • Dealing with left forearm soreness
    Arenado was removed from Saturday's game against the Giants with left forearm discomfort, Jeff Jones of the Belleville News-Democrat reports.

    Advice: Arenado was hit in the right arm by a pitch Wednesday but seems to be battling through some pain in his opposite forearm. Considering the Cardinals were ahead by five runs when Arenado was removed, it very well could be precautionary. Regardless, his status should be monitored ahead of Sunday's series finale.

  • Nolan Arenado leaves game with forearm discomfort
    Nolan Arenado was removed from Saturday’s ballgame against the Giants due to left forearm discomfort.

    Advice: It’s not the same arm that Arenado had an issue with earlier in the week when he was hit by a pitch, so now he’s dealing with ailments in both arms. As of now, it sounds like a day-to-day type of situation, but it’s something that fantasy managers should keep an eye on over the next few days. Rotoworld Yesterday, 1:33 pm
