Player Notes

  • 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 8 minutes ago
  • Kris Bryant (back) won’t return this week
    Kris Bryant (back) has yet to resume baseball activities.

    Advice: If there’s a positive takeaway here it’s that Rockies manager Bud Black didn’t seem too concerned on Tuesday while speaking with reporters, adding that there’s no talk of surgery for Bryant, and he hasn’t undergone any additional testing or imaging. The 32-year-old is eligible to return from the injured list this week, but that won’t happen. He remains shut down as he continues to recover from a lower back strain. Rotoworld Today, 4:38 pm

  • Jason Heyward (back) still not swinging a bat
    Jason Heyward (back) has yet to resume swinging a bat.

    Advice: Dodgers manager Dave Roberts told reporters Heyward is still dealing with residual soreness and is more than a week away from starting a minor league rehab assignment. His ongoing absence provides some additional runway for prospect Andy Pages to continue playing regularly for Los Angeles in a corner outfield role. Rotoworld Today, 4:16 pm
  • Returns from IL
    Robinson (shoulder) was reinstated from the 7-day injured list by Double-A Amarillo on Tuesday, Sam Dykstra of MiLB.com reports.

    Advice: The 23-year-old suffered a right shoulder sprain during spring training but is now ready to make his 2024 debut with Amarillo. Robinson had a brief stint with the affiliate to close last season but spent most of the campaign at Single-A Visalia, where he had a .945 OPS in 43 games. Rotowire.com Today, 3:54 pm
  • Takes seat Tuesday
    Velazquez is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Blue Jays.

    Advice: Velazquez is 2-for-21 in his past seven games and will head to the bench for the second time in Kansas City's past three contests. Adam Frazier is batting sixth as the designated hitter Tuesday. Rotowire.com Today, 3:41 pm
