| 2B | 1. Aaron Hill  D.L.Aaron Hill was not cleared to resume activities Monday after a doctor determined that his left hand had not healed sufficiently. "He's going to be waiting and try to get some more growth on that bone," Diamondbacks manager Kirk Gibson said. Hill to this point has been limited to running and standing in on bullpen sessions to track pitches. It's unlikely that he'll be ready to return before June now. May 13 |
| 2. Willie Bloomquist D.L.Willie Bloomquist (oblique) could begin a rehab assignment midway through the week. Bloomquist has been playing games at extended spring training and hasn't had any recent setbacks. He should be ready for activation before the end of the month. May 19 |

| CF | 1. Adam Eaton D.L.Adam Eaton (elbow) played five innings in center field for High-A Visalia on Friday. It's the first time he's played the field during his rehab assignment, as he had been limited to DH duty. Eaton was scheduled to play the field again on Saturday before being re-evaluated by the Diamondbacks. He should be activated before the end of the month. Manager Kirk Gibson said he's "not really worried about" finding enough playing time for all the members of a deep group of outfielders. "If we have guys, we’ll find places for them to play," the manager added. May 19 |

| 6. Daniel Hudson D.L.Daniel Hudson (elbow) gave up two runs on five hits over four innings in an extended spring training game on Friday. It's the first time since last year's Tommy John surgery that Hudson has faced hitters wearing a different uniform. The D'Backs says the righty's fastball sat in the 91-93 mph range, which is obviously a good sign. "The light at the end of the tunnel is getting a little bit brighter now," Hudson said. Hudson will appear in another extended spring game next week and doesn't appear far off from a rehab assignment. He could be back as soon as late June if all goes well, though the big club doesn't currently have room for him in the rotation. May 19 |
| R | 1. J.J. Putz D.L.J.J. Putz will not require major elbow surgery. Putz has been diagnosed with a sprained ligament, a strained flexor pronator and nerve irritation in his right elbow -- all of which can be addressed through rehab. He will try to return before the end of the 2013 season. Heath Bell has taken over Arizona's ninth-inning gig. May 9 |

Beachy was cleared after he threw 29 pitches over two innings Tuesday during a start in extended spring training. He's expected to make around five starts in the minors, which puts him on pace to join the Braves around the anniversary of his Tommy John surgery on June 21. He's well worth stashing in most fantasy leagues. May 15 |
| R | 1. Craig Kimbrel |
| 2. Jonny Venters D.L.Jonny Venters underwent Tommy John reconstructive elbow surgery on Thursday afternoon. It's the second time he's had the procedure in his baseball career. Venters can now be ruled out for the remainder of the 2013 season and is also likely to miss the first couple months of the 2014 campaign. It's obviously a pretty big loss for the Atlanta bullpen. May 16 |
| 3. Eric O'Flaherty D.L.An MRI taken Saturday on Eric O'Flaherty's left arm revealed a torn ulnar collateral ligament. That's the injury that almost always leads to Tommy John reconstructive elbow surgery. O'Flaherty will visit Dr. James Andrews next week and is likely out for the year. The Atlanta bullpen continues to take big hits. May 18 |
| 4. Jordan Walden D.L.Braves placed RHP Jordan Walden on the 15-day disabled list, retroactive to May 12, with right shoulder inflammation. It's an injury that we hadn't heard about until now, but perhaps we should have known something was up with Walden allowing five runs over his last three appearances (1 1/3 innings). It's not clear at this point how long he'll be sidelined. May 17 |
| 5. Luis Ayala D.L.Braves placed RHP Luis Ayala on the 15-day disabled list with anxiety disorder. Obviously it's impossible to predict how much time Ayala might miss. David Carpenter has been recalled to take his spot in the bullpen. Apr 30 |
| 6. Cristhian Martinez D.L.Cristhian Martinez (shoulder) still doesn't have a timetable for his return. The Braves reliever has been sidelined since April 12 with a right shoulder sprain, and apparently it was serious enough that the Braves still don't have any idea when he might be back. The right-hander had a 3.91 ERA with 65 strikeouts in 73 2/3 innings last year. May 4 |

| 2. Chris Heisey D.L.The Reds have determined that Chris Heisey's hamstring aggravation was not severe. "It wasn’t horrendous," assistant general manager Bob Miller said. "He tweaked it." Heisey won't return until the next homestand, which runs from May 24-28, at the earliest. It's certainly possible his absence could stretch into June. May 16 |

No word on the timeline for his return, but he'll likely make at least one more appearance before being activated. Parra has an 8.10 ERA and 7/3 K/BB ratio over 6 2/3 innings prior to going down with a strained left pectoral muscle at the end of April. May 14 |
| 9. Nick Masset D.L.Reds transferred RHP Nick Masset from the 15-day to the 60-day disabled list. Masset is still recovering from right shoulder surgery, and he was recently shut down after suffering a setback. The right-hander hasn't pitched since 2011. Apr 21 |

Ramirez was placed on the disabled list over the weekend after he injured his hamstring during Friday's game. While there was initially some hope that he would be able to return at the minimum, he'll now likely be sidelined until the early part of June. Dee Gordon should get most of the playing time at shortstop for now. May 8 |
| 2. Dee Gordon |
| 3B | 1. Luis Cruz SidelinedLuis Cruz is nursing a sore throwing elbow. He could be placed on the disabled list, as Mark Ellis (quad) is ready to be activated. Cruz is hitting a pathetic .096/.118/.096 this season and has seen his playing time dwindle of late. May 19 |
| 2. Juan Uribe |

Hairston landed on the disabled list earlier this month with a left groin strain, but he suffered a brief setback last week due to a knee issue. It's not clear when he'll be ready for a rehab assignment, but he's moving in the right direction. May 20 |

Manager Don Mattingly said after Beckett's start Monday that the groin ailment was minor, but the Dodgers will play it safe. He seems likely to be activated when eligible or shortly after. Matthew Magill seems likely to get a start in Beckett's place, and Ted Lilly (rib cage) could be ready next week. May 15 |
| 4. Chad Billingsley D.L.Dodgers transferred RHP Chad Billingsley from the 15-day disabled list to the 60-day disabled list. The move clears a spot for Scott Van Slyke on the 40-man roster. Billingsley had season-ending Tommy John surgery last month and will likely miss the early part of 2014. May 10 |

Elbert retired all three batters he faced, fanning two, Friday in his rehab debut. The left-handed reliever is on his way back from dual elbow surgeries and is expected to spend several weeks on the farm. He should be ready to join the Dodgers' bullpen around early June. May 13 |
| 7. Paco Rodriguez |
| 8. Shawn Tolleson D.L.Shawn Tolleson is scheduled to undergo surgery on his injured lower back on Thursday afternoon. Tolleson was placed on the disabled list April 15 with a lower back strain and now needs surgery to repair the injury. He is expected to be sidelined for 3-5 months and could feasibly miss the rest of the season. Apr 25 |

Morrison has been playing in extended spring training games lately and hasn't had any setbacks with his surgically-repaired knee. With his 20-day rehab clock started on Monday, he'll be activated no later than early June as long as he doesn't have a setback. May 19 |
| 2. Casey Kotchman D.L.Marlins manager Mike Redmond said Casey Kotchman (hamstring) could begin a rehab assignment "in the next few days." Kotchman is finally feeling improvement with his strained left hamstring. He was moved to the 60-day DL last week, though, so he won't be eligible to return until June. May 14 |
| 3. Joe Mahoney D.L.Joe Mahoney (hamstring) will begin a rehab assignment with High-A Jupiter this week. Mahoney has been out since late April with a right hamstring strain. With Logan Morrison (knee) and Casey Kotchman (hamstring) also due back soon, Mahoney might be sent to Triple-A once healthy. May 19 |
| 2B | 1. Donovan Solano D.L.Donovan Solano's strained left intercostal muscle remains sore. There's no timetable for when he'll resume baseball activities, let alone when he'll return from the DL. Derek Dietrich will continue to serve as the primary second baseman for the Marlins. May 14 |
| 2. Chris Valaika D.L.Chris Valaika underwent successful surgery on Friday, having two pins inserted into his wrist. Valaika is expected to require 4-6 weeks of healing time before he's able to return to the Marlins. He had been virtually ineffective in his 22 games before the injury, hitting .219/.261/.344 with one homer and nine RBI. May 10 |

| 3. Matt Diaz D.L.Marlins placed OF Matt Diaz on the 15-day disabled list, retroactive to May 19, with a left knee contusion. Diaz should be ready to return to the active roster as soon as he's eligible. The 35-year-old is batting just .167/.211/.222 in 10 games this season with the Marlins. May 20 |

Stanton has been on the disabled list since April 30 with a severe right hamstring strain and is being limited currently to pool workouts. There is no timetable for his return to Miami. May 18 |
| 2. Marcell Ozuna |
| 3. Alfredo Silverio D.L.Marlins placed OF Alfredo Silverio on the 60-day disabled list with a sprained right elbow. It's not clear how long the Rule 5 pick will be out. Silverio missed the entire 2012 season after injuring his neck and back in an auto accident. Mar 31 |
| S | 1. Ricky Nolasco |
| 2. Nathan Eovaldi D.L.Marlins manager Mike Redmond said Thursday that Nathan Eovaldi (shoulder) has been progressing with his long-toss program. It's not clear when Eovaldi will be ready to throw from a mound, but he's moving in the right direction. The right-hander looks to be a little behind Henderson Alvarez, who should be ready to rejoin the Marlins' rotation in mid-May. Apr 26 |

The first baseman is more likely to return within the first couple weeks of June. May 15 |
| 2. Yuniesky Betancourt |
| 3. Mat Gamel D.L.Brewers placed 1B Mat Gamel on the 60-day disabled list with a knee injury. It's a procedural move, as Gamel required surgery in early March to repair a torn right ACL and is expected to miss the entire 2013 season. The Brewers now have an opening on their 40-man roster. Mar 20 |

The 30-year-old southpaw has been one of the few dependable arms in the Brewers' bullpen this season, boasting a 2.30 ERA and 0.89 WHIP over his first 15 2/3 innings. Mike Fiers has been recalled to take his place. May 11 |
| 8. Mark Rogers D.L.Mark Rogers (shoulder) has been pulled from his minor league rehab assignment. Rogers had a rough 11.12 ERA and 1/8 K/BB ratio in 5 2/3 innings with Double-A Huntsville and left his most recent appearance on Tuesday due to tingling in his right arm. The 27-year-old has a long injury history and began the season on the disabled list with what was termed as right shoulder instability. He has been sent back to Phoenix for further testing, after which we should know more about the next step. May 9 |

Mejia has been on the disabled list for the entire season with inflammation in his pitching elbow. He's likely to require a relatively lengthy rehab assignment, and shouldn't be expected to return to the Mets until early June. Should he secure a spot in the Mets rotation, he could carve out a decent amount of value in NL-only and deeper mixed leagues. May 17 |
| 7. Johan Santana D.L.Mets transferred LHP Johan Santana from the 15-day disabled list to the 60-day disabled list. The move cleared a spot on the Mets' 40-man roster for Aaron Laffey. Santana (shoulder) won't pitch this season. Apr 6 |

| 2. Frank Francisco D.L.Frank Francisco (elbow) has resumed throwing. Francisco was diagnosed with a mild strain of the flexor pronator in his right elbow last week, but he's already back at it.

The veteran righty had an 8.65 ERA, 1.46 WHIP and 35/17 K/BB ratio over his first 34 1/3 innings this season. He can be dropped in all non-keeper leagues. May 16 |

He's not a given to rejoin the rotation once healthy. May 19 |

Morton's rehab from Tommy John surgery was recently halted due to some shoulder soreness, but he returned to game action Thursday with Double-A Altoona and gave up two runs in four innings. If all goes well, he could join the Pirates' rotation in the early part of June. May 16 |

| 2. Logan Forsythe D.L.Logan Forsythe (foot) took batting practice on the field Thursday. It's the first time he's done so since plantar fasciitis in his right foot sent him to the DL prior to the season. Forsythe also took ground balls before Thursday's game. "He's on the field doing baseball activities stuff, so he's on the way back," Padres manager Bud Black said. "He's on the mend." The team hasn't revealed a timetable for Forsythe, but he should be ready sometime next month if all goes well. May 16 |

| CF | 1. Cameron Maybin D.L.Cameron Maybin (wrist) could begin a rehab assignment Friday. Maybin was recently cleared to resume hitting activities and hasn't had any setbacks. On the disabled list since April 17, he should be close to making his return. Maybin was hitting just .091/.167/.121 with no home runs prior to the injury but offers plenty of fantasy potential when healthy. May 19 |

| 2. Clayton Richard D.L.Clayton Richard (illness) will make a second rehab start with Triple-A Tucson. Richard struck out eight over six innings of one-run ball Thursday for Tucson, but the Padres want him to have another tune-up. "He feels good about where he is right now, how his arm feels and how he feels physically in general, from the whole bad virus he contracted," manager Bud Black said. Assuming Richard feels fine in his next outing, he could rejoin the rotation as soon as next weekend. May 16 |

| 7. Cory Luebke D.L.Cory Luebke (elbow) has had his throwing program stopped for the second time this year in his attempt to return from Tommy John surgery. Luebke was shut down in early March before resuming sessions of catch on April 1, and he had progressed to throwing off a mound before this latest setback. Obviously none of this bodes well for his mission to return to live major league games by the All-Star break. May 18 |
| 8. Joe Wieland D.L.Joe Wieland (elbow) threw a bullpen session Friday at the Padres' spring training complex. Wieland, currently on the 60-day disabled list, is nine months removed from Tommy John surgery and will continued to be moved along slowly. If he can avoid setbacks, Wieland should be game-ready sometime after the All-Star break. Apr 27 |
| 9. Casey Kelly D.L.Padres placed LHP Casey Kelly on the 60-day disabled list with a left elbow injury. Kelly will undergo Tommy John surgery during the first week of April. Obviously, he won't be making any contribution this season. Mar 31 |

| 2. Rafael Furcal D.L.Cardinals transferred SS Rafael Furcal 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 the addition of Carlos Martinez. Furcal is out for the season following Tommy John surgery. May 3 |

| 2. Jaime Garcia D.L.Cardinals placed LHP Jaime Garcia on the 15-day disabled list with a left shoulder strain. Garcia has been dealing with shoulder issues for over a year and will visit Dr. James Andrews to try to get some answers. Surgery could ultimately be the course taken. The Cardinals are calling up reliever Mitchell Boggs on Saturday to fill their vacant roster spot but will have to add a new starting pitcher soon. Maybe 2012 first-rounder Michael Wacha will get a chance. May 18 |
| 3. Jake Westbrook D.L.Jake Westbrook (elbow) played light catch on Sunday. Westbrook made 25 throws from 60 feet and said he felt good. The right-hander hasn't recovered as quickly as hoped from inflammation in his right elbow, requiring a pair of injections. He's expected to miss at least a couple more starts. May 19 |
| 4. Lance Lynn |
| 5. Shelby Miller |
| 6. Chris Carpenter D.L.Rick Hummel of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports Chris Carpenter is conditioning himself to be a starter. When it was initially revealed that Carpenter was going to attempt a comeback this season, the general assumption was that he would be aiming to join the St. Louis bullpen. But the veteran right-hander is stretching himself out in case a spot opens up in the Cardinals' starting rotation. The remarkable story continues. May 16 |

The move is being made in order to clear space on the 40-man roster for John Gast, who will be called up to start Tuesday. Motte is out for the year following Tommy John surgery. May 12 |

| C | 1. Kurt Suzuki |
| 2. Wilson Ramos D.L.Nationals placed C Wilson Ramos on the 15-day disabled list with a left hamstring strain. Ramos missed a couple weeks last month with the same injury. He doesn't think the strain is too bad, but it's possible the Nats will play it safe and hold him out longer this time around. May 16 |

| LF | 1. Bryce Harper SidelinedBryce Harper (knee) is not in the Nationals' lineup Sunday. Harper is still feeling banged up from last week's collision with the Dodger Stadium outfield wall. It's his left knee that has been bothering him most. He'll try to return to the Nationals' starting lineup on Monday. May 19 |
| 2. Roger Bernadina |
| 3. Eury Perez |
| CF | 1. Denard Span |
| RF | 1. Jayson Werth D.L.Jayson Werth is going to Chicago to see another specialist regarding his tight right hamstring. Werth suffered a setback in his rehab Wednesday when he felt some tightness in his hamstring during a game at High-A Potomac. He saw a doctor in New York on Saturday, and he'll see another one in Chicago early next week. He is still hoping to return to the Nationals' lineup by Friday but that seems unlikely to happen.

| 5. Ross Detwiler SidelinedNationals manager Davey Johnson confirmed Friday that Ross Detwiler will not make his scheduled start against the Giants on Monday due to a lower back injury. Detwiler was required to leave his most recent start on Wednesday due to back spasms. No word yet on whether he'll require a trip to the disabled list. Craig Stammen is expected to replace Detwiler in the rotation while he's out. May 17 |

| 7. Christian Garcia D.L.Christian Garcia (forearm) has been throwing from a mound and will begin incorporating curveballs on Thursday. He'll then throw live batting practice after that before heading out on a rehab assignment, though it's not clear when he'll be ready for that. The Nats were planning on stretching Garcia out as a starter prior to his forearm injury, and they still might, but it depends on what the big club needs by the time the righty is healthy. May 8 |
