| C | 1. Matt Wieters |
| 2. Taylor Teagarden  D.L.Taylor Teagarden (thumb) is scheduled to play in a game Monday in Sarasota, Florida. It will presumably be an extended spring training game. The Orioles will likely send him out on a brief rehab assignment from there, but he appears on track to return from the disabled list early next month. The 29-year-old backstop has been sidelined since April 27 with a dislocated left thumb. May 24 |
| 3. Chris Snyder |
| 1B | 1. Chris Davis |
| 2B | 1. Brian Roberts D.L.Brian Roberts (knee) will have the sutures removed from his right leg on Monday. They were supposed to be removed on Friday, but Roberts wasn't sufficiently healed at that time. The second baseman is coming back from surgery to repair a ruptured tendon in the back of his right knee and will be out for at least the next six weeks or so. May 19 |

| DH | 1. Wilson Betemit D.L.Wilson Betemit (knee) will begin light baseball activities next week. Betemit, who suffered a right PCL tear during spring training, received clearance after visiting the team doctor in Baltimore. The 31-year-old still has a way to go before returning to game action, but he's finally making some progress. May 23 |
| 2. Nolan Reimold D.L.Nolan Reimold (hamstring) is not expected to be ready for activation from the disabled list when first eligible. Reimold was placed on the 15-day disabled list retroactive to May 12 with a right hamstring strain. He is eligible to return on May 28 -- next Tuesday -- but his rehab is not that far along. The outfielder should be good to go at some point during the first few weeks of June. May 22 |
| 3. Steve Pearce |
| S | 1. Jason Hammel |
| 2. Wei-Yin Chen D.L.Wei-Yin Chen (oblique) will head to the Orioles' spring training complex Tuesday to begin his rehab. Chen landed on the 15-day disabled list May 13 with a strained right oblique and can't pick up a baseball for at least another week. But he's allowed to do cardio work while he waits. The right-hander should be ready to rejoin the O's starting rotation in early June. May 20 |

| 5. Freddy Garcia |
| 6. Kevin Gausman |
| 7. Tsuyoshi Wada D.L.Tsuyoshi Wada (elbow) allowed four runs over four innings Thursday in a rehab start at Triple-A Norfolk. Wada gave up three hits and issued two walks but he fanned five batters and made it all the way to 78 pitches (45 of which were strikes). He's on his way back from Tommy John reconstructive elbow surgery and is aiming to join the Orioles' starting rotation at some point in early-to-mind June. The left-hander signed a two-year, $8.15 million contract with the O's in December 2011 but has not yet thrown a pitch in a major league game. May 16 |
| R | 1. Jim Johnson |
| 2. Pedro Strop D.L.Orioles placed RHP Pedro Strop on the 15-day disabled list, retroactive to May 24, with a lower back strain. The move clears a spot on the 25-man roster for Steve Johnson. Strop has a 6.11 ERA with 14 walks over 17 2/3 innings with the Orioles. May 25 |

| 3B | 1. Will Middlebrooks D.L.Red Sox placed 3B Will Middlebrooks on the 15-day disabled list with lower back spasms. Middlebrooks suffered the injury Wednesday and aggravated it Thursday. The Red Sox initially said he was day-to-day, but evidently they've decided the best course of action was to sit him down for a couple weeks. Jose Iglesias has been promoted to fill his spot on the roster and will share time with Pedro Ciriaco at the hot corner. May 24 |

| RF | 1. Shane Victorino D.L.Red Sox placed OF Shane Victorino on the 15-day disabled list, retroactive to May 21, with a left hamstring strain. Victorino ran sprints prior to Thursday's game, but evidently he still hasn't made enough progress. Given that he's also had a back issue lately, it's probably best to let him rest for a couple weeks. Daniel Nava will handle right field while Victorino is out. May 24 |

Morales, on the disabled list since the beginning of the season, declared himself fully healthy after throwing five innings Thursday in his latest rehab game with Double-A Portland. The Red Sox are expected to use him as a reliever upon his return. May 25 |
| R | 1. Andrew Bailey |
| 2. Joel Hanrahan D.L.Joel Hanrahan was upbeat Friday after he required Tommy John surgery in addition to flexor tendon surgery on Thursday. Hanrahan will be in a cast for ten days, but will start the rehab process shortly thereafter. Either way, he's looking at a 12-to-14 month timetable for his return. Hanrahan, who is a free agent after the season, is a long way away from having any tangible fantasy value. May 17 |

| 2. Hector Gimenez |
| 1B | 1. Paul Konerko |
| 2B | 1. Gordon Beckham D.L.Gordon Beckham isn't playing Friday with Triple-A Charlotte due to soreness in his surgically-repaired left hand. Beckham had surgery in mid-April to remove the hamate bone from his hand, so the White Sox don't want to take any chances. He's expected to be held out of action until next Wednesday at the earliest.

"Everything is on track and I’ll be ready to go on Tuesday," Sale said, according to MLB.com's Scott Merkin. He was scratched from his turn this past Wednesday due to mild tendinitis in his left posterior shoulder but is feeling better after a few days of rest. It's great news for Sale owners, as the left-hander has a 5-2 record and 2.53 ERA through nine starts this season. May 25 |
| 2. Jake Peavy |
| 3. John Danks |
| 4. Gavin Floyd D.L.Gavin Floyd underwent successful surgery Wednesday to repair the ulnar collateral ligament and flexor muscle in his right elbow. The surgeon told the White Sox that the operation "could not have gone better." However, since he needed two major areas operated on, the recovery is expected to be 14-19 months rather than the standard 12 months for Tommy John surgery. With that timetable, Floyd probably shouldn't be counted on for a whole lot in 2014. He'll be a free agent over the winter. May 8 |

| Cleveland Indians | Detroit Tigers | Houston Astros |
| C | 1. Carlos Santana |
| 2. Lou Marson D.L.Lou Marson (shoulder) admitted Monday that there is no timetable for his return to the Indians' active roster. Marson has begun throwing but is not yet performing any other baseball activities due to lingering soreness in his shoulder and neck. "It's definitely frustrating," the catcher told MLB.com. "I know what it is and kind of what I have to do. Hopefully, I can get on the field soon." May 20 |

| 3. Brett Myers D.L.Brett Myers (elbow) will make at least one more rehab start. Myers' velocity was down on Wednesday in his second rehab outing with Double-A Akron, and he walked four while allowing three runs over 4 1/3 frames. Assuming his velocity comes back up the next time out, he could rejoin the Indians' rotation after that. May 23 |
| 4. Zach McAllister |
| 5. Scott Kazmir |
| 6. Josh Tomlin D.L.Josh Tomlin (Tommy John surgery) could return near the end of the season. Tomlin went under the knife last August. At this point in his rehab, it's hard to predict if a 2013 return is in the cards. Tomlin has said he'd rather be 100 percent for 2014 rather than making a premature late-season return this year. The right-hander posted a 6.36 ERA in 16 starts and five relief appearances with the Indians last season. May 24 |

| 10. Blake Wood D.L.Blake Wood (elbow) will continue his minor league rehab assignment Wednesday with Class A Lake County. Wood felt some soreness in his surgically-repaired elbow during his first appearance on Saturday, but it was only a minor scare. The 27-year-old right-hander is currently in recovery mode from Tommy John surgery and will likely need a handful of appearances before he's a legitimate consideration for the major league roster. May 14 |
| 11. Frank Herrmann D.L.Indians transferred RHP Frank Herrmann from the 15-day disabled list to the 60-day disabled list. The move clears a spot for the newly-claimed Robert Whitenack on the 40-man roster. Herrmann had Tommy John surgery in March and will miss the entire 2013 season. Apr 3 |

| 2. Robbie Grossman |

| RF | 1. Jimmy Paredes |
| DH | 1. Chris Carter |
| S | 1. Bud Norris SidelinedBud Norris (back) expects to make his next scheduled start. Norris has left each of his last two starts with lower back spasms, but both times his removal was considered precautionary. He received massage treatment Wednesday and thinks "the prevention process of taking care of it now and getting me out of the game will help." Assuming he doesn't have a setback over the next few days, the righty will likely face the Rockies on Monday. May 22 |

Fields suffered a right forearm strain in the first week of the season and has appeared in four games at Double-A Corpus Christi during his rehab assignment. The Astros want to see Fields work consecutive games without any setbacks before he's activated from the DL. May 25 |
| 5. Jose Cisnero |
| 6. Paul Clemens SidelinedPaul Clemens left Monday's appearance with a right pinkie injury. Clemens was struck by a comebacker and appeared to dislocate the finger, but the Astros' trainer popped it back in place and he stayed in to face one more batter. The club reconsidered after that, though, and decided to remove him. Clemens saved the bullpen with 5 1/3 scoreless relief frames after Erik Bedard lasted only 1/3 of an inning. Apr 16 |
| 7. Travis Blackley |
| 8. Edgar Gonzalez |
| 9. Alex White D.L.Alex White will undergo Tommy John surgery. White showed diminished velocity this spring and was diagnosed with a strained pitching elbow, but the injury turned out to be worse than that. The young right-hander will obviously miss all of 2013 and might not be ready for the start of 2014. Apr 5 |

| 6. Danny Duffy D.L.Danny Duffy (elbow) will begin a rehab assignment with Double-A Northwest Arkansas on Sunday. He'll throw 60 pitches for the Naturals. Making his way back from Tommy John surgery, Duffy will surely require the full 30 days on his rehab assignment. Assuming the results are there and his arm strength is back, he should be added to the Royals' rotation in late June. The left-hander is worth stashing on the DL if you have the roster space. May 24 |
| 7. Felipe Paulino D.L.Felipe Paulino (elbow) threw 25 pitches of live batting practice on Saturday. It's Paulino's second such session as he continues his recovery from Tommy John surgery. The Royals are hoping that Paulino will be able to throw five innings on the anniversary date of his surgery (July 3), but it will be later than that before he's ready to rejoin the rotation.

He's likely to need a few minor league rehab games before returning to the Angels' lineup, but it looks likely that he'll return in early June. Hamstring injuries can tend to linger and pose a high re-injury risk however, so play it cautiously when re-inserting the speedy outfielder into your fantasy lineups. May 24 |

Hanson is returning from a three week stint on the bereavement list. May 25 |

| R | 1. Ernesto Frieri |
| 2. Ryan Madson D.L.Ryan Madson has experienced yet another setback in his recovery from Tommy John elbow surgery. Madson felt renewed soreness in his right arm while trying to throw this week and has been shut down indefinitely. There is no longer a timetable for his return and he can be dropped in most fantasy formats at this point. Ernesto Frieri is the Angels' ninth-inning man. May 22 |

While he won't need surgery, it's unclear how long he'll be sidelined. The 26-year-old posted a 4.27 ERA and 56/25 K/BB ratio over 59 innings between Double- and Triple-A last year. Apr 9 |

| 2. Chris Stewart |

| 1B | 1. Mark Teixeira D.L.Mark Teixeira (wrist) expects to play rehab games with Double-A Trenton next Wednesday and Thursday. Teixeira has participated in simulated games this week and will test himself in extended spring training on Saturday, Monday and Tuesday. He'll be reevaluated after his two rehab games with Trenton, but there's a chance that he could be activated from the disabled list late next week if all goes well. Teixeira has been sidelined since early March with a torn tendon sheath in his wrist. May 24 |

| 2B | 1. Robinson Cano |
| SS | 1. Derek Jeter D.L.Derek Jeter (ankle) is close to getting the walking boot on his left foot removed again. Jeter had a routine checkup recently and was told his left ankle is healing. Once the boot is removed, he'll be eased into baseball activities again. The future Hall of Famer won't be an option at shortstop for the Yankees until after the All-Star break. May 16 |
| 2. Eduardo Nunez D.L.Eduardo Nunez (rib cage) took batting practice Wednesday. It's the first time he's done so since landing on the DL, as he had been limited to hitting off a tee and taking soft-toss. When Nunez will be ready to return to game action isn't known, but it shouldn't be too far off. May 22 |

Kicking off his third week of on-field activities following hip surgery, Rodriguez also ran from pole to pole near the warning track four times. "Not bad," said Rodriguez. It's not clear when he'll begin playing in games, but the Yankees hope to have him back around midseason. May 20 |
| 2. Kevin Youkilis D.L.Kevin Youkilis (back) will play in an extended spring training game Saturday. Mark Teixeira is also slated to play as he works his way back from a wrist injury. Youkilis has been sidelined for nearly a month with a lumbar spine strain, but he could rejoin the Yankees late next week if he can avoid setbacks. May 24 |

Granderson suffered the injury when he was hit by a pitch in the fifth inning of Friday night’s game. It's a troubling development for the Yankees, who will now be forced to give extended playing time to Ichiro Suzuki and Brennan Boesch. Granderson is expected to miss a minimum of four weeks.

Kuroda's calf tightened up on him an inning after he was hit with a comebacker Wednesday, forcing him to leave the game. But he'll be fine. The right-hander is scheduled to face the Mets early next week. May 22 |
| 3. Andy Pettitte D.L.Andy Pettitte (trapezius) played catch Thursday and Friday and is scheduled to throw a bullpen session Saturday. Pettitte was placed on the disabled list last week with a strained trapezius muscle, but he's currently throwing without any discomfort. The veteran left-hander expects to throw a simulated game rather than go out on a minor league rehab assignment. Either way, he should return around when he's first eligible on June 1. May 24 |

| 5. Ivan Nova |
| 6. David Phelps SidelinedDavid Phelps was diagnosed with a right forearm contusion. Phelps was removed from his start against the Rays in the eighth inning on Friday after being drilled on the forearm by a line drive. However, X-rays ruled out anything serious. It sounds like he'll be fine to make his next scheduled start against the Mets, but Ivan Nova is a candidate to replace him if the Yankees decide to play it safe. May 24 |
| 7. Michael Pineda D.L.Michael Pineda (shoulder) threw five innings Thursday in a start at extended spring training. Pineda's fastball sat near 93 mph all afternoon and he reported no issues with his surgically-repaired shoulder. The right-hander is expected to make one more start at the Yankees' spring complex before heading out on a minor league rehab assignment. He should be stashed right now in leagues with big roster allotments. May 23 |

However, if all goes well, there's a chance he could be activated late next week. The 27-year-old has been sidelined since April 27 with a strained oblique. May 23 |

| CF | 1. Franklin Gutierrez D.L.Franklin Gutierrez (hamstring) will begin a minor league rehab assignment Thursday at Triple-A Tacoma. If everything goes smoothly, the center fielder should be back with Seattle early next week. He has been on the disabled list since April 23 with a hamstring strain. May 16 |

| S | 1. Felix Hernandez SidelinedFelix Hernandez had a very uneven performance Saturday, striking out nine but allowing five runs over 5 2/3 innings in a loss to the Rangers. When King Felix's stuff wavered, the powerful Rangers lineup capitalized, collecting nine hits and a home run. The Mariners' ace didn't have the best last few weeks. A back injury forced him out of a start against the Yankees on May 14 and he's surrendered 11 runs -- 10 earned -- in his next two outings. While one wonders if he's still dealing with some back tightness, fantasy owners aren't advised to remove him from starting lineups. May 26 |

| 5. Aaron Harang SidelinedAaron Harang was lit up for seven runs in 3 2/3 innings by the Angels on Tuesday. Josh Hamilton and Howie Kendrick homered off him. Harang fell to 1-5 with an 8.58 ERA. The Mariners need to make a switch here, whether it's Jeremy Bonderman, Hector Noesi or James Paxton as the replacement. Erasmo Ramirez still isn't healthy, unfortunately. May 22 |
| R | 1. Tom Wilhelmsen |
| 2. Stephen Pryor D.L.Mariners transferred RHP Stephen Pryor from the 15-day disabled list to the 60-day disabled list. Pryor now won't be eligible to return until mid-June, but he wasn't going to be ready before then, anyway. The hard-thrower recently resumed his throwing program but has yet to test things out from a mound. May 17 |

| S | 1. David Price D.L.Rays placed LHP David Price on the 15-day disabled list with a strained left triceps muscle. Price suffered the injury Wednesday night in his start against the Red Sox. An MRI taken shortly after his exit showed no major damage and the Rays are optimistic that he will only miss a few turns in the rotation, but nothing is certain quite yet. Jake Odorizzi and Chris Archer are the primary candidates to replace Price. May 16 |

| 7. Brandon Gomes D.L.Rays placed RHP Brandon Gomes on the 15-day disabled list, retroactive to May 8, with a right lat strain. Gomes had been pitching well for Tampa, putting up a 1.03 WHIP and 16/2 K/BB ratio over 11 2/3 innings. It's not clear at this point how long he'll be out. Josh Lueke has replaced him on the roster. May 10 |
| 8. Josh Lueke |
| 9. Jeff Niemann D.L.Rays transferred RHP Jeff Niemann from the 15-day disabled list to the 60-day disabled list. The move clears a spot on the 40-man roster for the newly-acquired Jeff Beliveau. Niemann underwent shoulder surgery last week and is unlikely to return this season. Apr 16 |
| 10. Juan Carlos Oviedo D.L.Rays purchased the contract of RHP Juan Carlos Oviedo, placed him on the 60-day disabled list with a right elbow injury. Oviedo is working his way back from Tommy John surgery and will miss most, if not all, of the 2013 season. The Rays obviously have decided he's worth hanging onto in hopes he can contribute in 2014.

Kinsler hasn't started the last two games with rib soreness and said he still felt discomfort during batting practice on Sunday. The Rangers aren't overly concerned about the injury, but top prospect Jurickson Profar will be called up to replace Kinsler on the active roster. Kinsler is batting .302/.369/.500 with seven home runs through his first 40 games this season. May 19 |

| 4. Alexi Ogando D.L.Rangers manager Ron Washington said Friday that he's not sure whether Alexi Ogando (biceps) will require a minor league rehab start before coming off the disabled list. Ogando will throw off flat ground on Saturday and is scheduled to throw a bullpen session on Monday. An MRI revealed no structural damage in his biceps, so as long as he feels no pain, he should be ready to go as soon as he's eligible to come off the disabled list. May 24 |
| 5. Nick Tepesch |
| 6. Justin Grimm |
| 7. Colby Lewis D.L.Colby Lewis (elbow) acknowledged on Monday afternoon that he's unhappy with his fastball velocity. Lewis was sitting around 85-86 mph in his rehab start Monday at Double-A Frisco and wants to be closer to 89-91 mph by the time he returns to the major leagues. The hope had been that he would be ready to rock during the first week of June, but a more realistic timetable calls for him to be activated near the middle of the month. Lewis is on his way back from major right elbow surgery. May 20 |
| 8. Neftali Feliz D.L.Neftali Feliz (elbow) is long-tossing at 120 feet. Feliz's rehab from Tommy John surgery is going fine, although it's not yet been announced when he'll be ready to throw off a mound. We expect him to return to a major league mound late in the summer. May 19 |

| R | 1. Joe Nathan |
| 2. Joakim Soria D.L.Joakim Soria (elbow) will be shut down for 2-3 weeks with a strained pectoral muscle and is now not expected to return until around July 1. A tough break for the Rangers, as Soria had been slated to join the Rangers' bullpen as soon as late next month. The good news is that his surgically-repaired elbow is fine. The Rangers will continue to use a host of players to set up for Joe Nathan. Apr 22 |

Assuming his rehab process continues to go as expected, Reyes could resume full baseball activities next week. The Blue Jays are hoping he can return sometime around midseason. May 25 |

| 2. Rajai Davis D.L.Rajai Davis (oblique) has been sent to Florida to start his rehab. Davis hasn't played since May 10 due to a strained oblique. Blue Jays manager John Gibbons doesn't expect it to be a long-term injury, so it's possible he could return later this month. May 17 |

| 2. Josh Johnson D.L.Josh Johnson (triceps) will make at least two more rehab starts. Johnson struck out five over three innings of one-run ball on Monday with High-A Dunedin. He's feeling good physically, but the right-hander obviously needs to build up his stamina. He'll rejoin the rotation in early June if he can avoid a setback. May 21 |
| 3. Brandon Morrow |
| 4. Mark Buehrle |
| 5. J.A. Happ D.L.Blue Jays transferred LHP J.A. Happ from the 15-day disabled list to the 60-day disabled list. Happ was hoping to make it back by mid-June, but he now won't be eligible to return until early July. The left-hander is coming back from a small fracture behind his left ear as well as a sprained right knee. May 24 |
| 6. Dustin McGowan D.L.Dustin McGowan (shoulder) will continue his minor league rehab assignment with Triple-A Buffalo. McGowan allowed one hit and one walk over two scoreless innings with High-A Dunedin and notched four strikeouts. The Blue Jays can't count on him given his lengthy injury history, but he could be an option to join the bullpen later this month if all goes well. May 17 |
| 7. Chad Jenkins |
| 8. Sean Nolin |
| 9. Kyle Drabek D.L.Kyle Drabek (elbow) expects to throw live batting practice in the next week or two. Drabek threw a bullpen session Monday in extended spring training. He's coming back from the second Tommy John surgery of his career, so the Blue Jays figure to take things slow, but he could be looking at a return around midseason if all goes well. May 8 |
| R | 1. Casey Janssen |
| 2. Sergio Santos D.L.Blue Jays transferred RHP Sergio Santos from the 15-day disabled list to the 60-day disabled list. The move was made in order to clear room on the 40-man roster for Thad Weber. Santos will be out until after the All-Star break following surgery to remove bone chips and spurs from his right elbow. May 19 |
| 3. Darren Oliver D.L.Blue Jays placed LHP Darren Oliver on the 15-day disabled list, retroactive to May 19 with a left shoulder strain. Oliver has been dealing with the ailment for 7-10 and hadn't appeared in a game in nearly a week. He shouldn't be out long, but the Jays have decided to play things safe. Toronto still has two lefties in the bullpen in Aaron Loup and Brett Cecil. May 24 |
