Hill will remain with Triple-A Reno through Wednesday, and if all goes well could be cleared to return to the Diamondbacks' lineup as early as next weekend. Hill has been limited to just ten games on the season after sustaining the hand injury in early April. Jun 14 |

| 2. Eric Chavez D.L.Eric Chavez (oblique) will start swinging a bat on Saturday. Diamondbacks manager Kirk Gibson said Chavez has been "getting much better" of late. Out since late May, he seems likely to require a brief rehab assignment before returning, which should come later this month. Jun 14 |
| LF | 1. Jason Kubel |
| 2. Gerardo Parra |
| CF | 1. Adam Eaton D.L.Adam Eaton (elbow) played in a simulated game on Saturday. Eaton served as the designated hitter, as he's still on a throwing program and can't play the outfield yet. The Diamondbacks have been mum on a timetable for the outfielder, but it's possible he could return prior to the All-Star break if he can avoid another setback. Jun 16 |
| 2. A.J. Pollock |
| RF | 1. Cody Ross |
| S | 1. Ian Kennedy SuspendedIan Kennedy has dropped the appeal of his 10-game suspension and will begin serving it on Monday. Kennedy doesn't think he deserved 10 games for his role in last week's brawl with the Dodgers, but with the D'Backs having a couple off days over the next week, it makes sense to drop the appeal. He'll be eligible to return on June 29. Jun 17 |
| 2. Brandon McCarthy D.L.Brandon McCarthy (shoulder) will throw a bullpen session on Tuesday. It will be his first since a nagging shoulder injury sent him to the disabled list in late May. McCarthy was cleared to throw from the bump after long-tossing from 105 on Monday with no issues. It's not clear when he might be ready for a rehab assignment, but a return early next month seems likely. Jun 17 |

| 4. Wade Miley |

| 6. Daniel Hudson D.L.Daniel Hudson has suffered a re-tear of the ulnar collateral ligament in his right elbow. Terrible news. Hudson, who had Tommy John surgery last July, suffered the re-tear during an extended spring training start on Tuesday. The 26-year-old right-hander was originally hoping to rejoin the Diamondbacks' rotation around midseason, he's now likely facing another surgery and an additional year of recovery time. Just brutal. If you had him stashed in a DL spot in your fantasy league, feel free to drop him now. Jun 7 |
| 7. Randall Delgado |
| R | 1. J.J. Putz D.L.J.J. Putz (elbow) will begin a rehab assignment with Triple-A Reno on Thursday. He'll remain with Reno through next Tuesday, as the D'Backs want him to appear in back-to-back games before being activated. Heath Bell has been scored upon in each of his last three outings and seems likely to cede the closer job back to Putz. Jun 18 |
| 2. Heath Bell |
| 3. David Hernandez |
| 4. Matt Reynolds D.L.Matt Reynolds has been diagnosed with a slight tear of the ulnar collateral ligament in his left elbow. Reynolds will receive a second opinion, but the plan for now is to shut him down for six weeks before he can hopefully begin a throwing program. Of course, anytime the UCL is compromised, the possibility of Tommy John surgery is there. Either way, it's unfortunate for the D'Backs bullpen, as Reynolds holds a 1.98 ERA and 1.10 WHIP this season. Jun 11 |

| 3. Evan Gattis D.L.Braves placed C Evan Gattis on the 15-day disabled list with a strained oblique. No word on how or when the injury occurred, but oblique strains usually require some extended rest. Gattis has been one of the best stories in baseball this season, coming out of nowhere to hit .252 with 14 home runs and a .894 OPS in 53 games. Tyler Pastornicky will take his place on the active roster while Gerald Laird will function as the primary backup to Brian McCann. Jun 18 |

| 6. Brandon Beachy D.L.An MRI on Brandon Beachy's elbow taken Saturday showed no structural damage. Beachy was scratched from his scheduled start against the Mets with tenderness, but the MRI showed only fluid and no damage to the elbow itself. That's good news, as it just requires rest. The Braves aren't hurting for a starter at the moment, so they'll give Beachy all the time he needs as he continues to work his way back from last year's Tommy John surgery. Jun 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.Eric O'Flaherty will undergo Tommy John surgery on Tuesday to repair a torn left ulnar collateral ligament. It was inevitable after an MRI over the weekend revealed the bad news. In addition to obviously missing the rest of this season, O'Flaherty will likely be sidelined for the first couple months of the 2014 campaign, as well. May 20 |
| 4. Jordan Walden |
| 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 |

He signed a two-year, $9.5 million free agent contract with Chicago this past winter. Jun 11 |

| 9. Zach Putnam D.L.Cubs placed RHP Zach Putnam on the 15-day disabled list with right elbow soreness. Putnam left Tuesday's game with elbow soreness and is scheduled to undergo an MRI. The Cubs have called up Brooks Raley to replace him on the active roster. Jun 12 |
| 10. Blake Parker |
| 11. Arodys Vizcaino D.L.Arodys Vizcaino has been ruled out for the season after recently undergoing arthroscopic surgery on his right elbow to address a calcium buildup. Vizcaino wasn't progressed as hoped in his recovery from Tommy John surgery, and now we know why. It's a shame that he won't appear for the Cubs in 2013, but the good news is that his ligaments are fine and he should be ready to go for spring training. Vizcaino will be shut down for six weeks before beginning his rehab. May 28 |

However, he still thinks that he will not be ready to return for another two months. Most fantasy owners can afford to move on at this point. Jun 14 |
| 2. Chris Heisey D.L.Chris Heisey (hamstring) resumed a rehab assignment with Triple-A Louisville on Monday and went 2-for-4 with two singles and a run scored. Heisey served as the designated hitter. The 28-year-old aggravated his hamstring injury during his first attempt at a rehab assignment last month, so the Reds figures to be extra cautious this time around. Still, a return before the end of the month appears realistic if he can avoid setbacks. Jun 18 |

Broxton has a 4.33 ERA, 1.30 WHIP and 20/11 K/BB ratio through his first 27 innings this season, so it provides some context for his struggles. The Reds expect Broxton to return on June 29 when first eligible. Jun 15 |
| 3. Sean Marshall D.L.Sean Marshall (shoulder) hopes to begin long-tossing in the next day or so. Marshall's shoulder is feeling good so far, but the left-hander thinks he's probably still at least three weeks away from a return.

Tulowitzki had been dealing with rib soreness for a week and aggravated the injury while making a diving stop during Thursday's game. The injury a brutal blow for the Rockies and fantasy owners alike, as the 28-year-old is batting .347/.413/.635 with 16 homers and 51 RBI this season. He's expected to miss 4-6 weeks. Jun 14 |

It was Chatwood's first start back from a triceps issue and he looked fairly sharp over his 84 pitches (50 of which were strikes). The righty scattered seven hits and three walks, striking out one. He will carry a 2.33 ERA into his next scheduled outing against the Nationals. Jun 15 |
| 6. Edwar Cabrera D.L.Edwar Cabrera (left shoulder impingement) threw a 45-pitch bullpen session last month. We've read nothing further regarding Cabrera, which probably means he isn't close to a rehab assignment. The 25-year-old lefty was placed on the 60-day disabled list in February. He's eligible for activation, but not healthy enough to pitch. Cabrera ranked as Colorado's ninth best prospect by MLB.com this offseason. May 24 |
| R | 1. Rafael Betancourt D.L.Rafael Betancourt (groin) threw a 35-pitch bullpen session on Tuesday and reported feeling fine. Betancourt will face live hitters on Friday and could then be cleared for a minor league rehab assignment.

| LF | 1. Carl Crawford D.L.Dodgers manager Don Mattingly said Carl Crawford's left hamstring strain is "fairly significant" and the outfielder will be out longer than 15 days. Mattingly had said previously that he didn't think Crawford would miss as much as a month, so we're probably looking at around a three-week absence. Scott Van Slyke will continue seeing the bulk of the playing time in left field while Crawford is out. Jun 6 |
| 2. Scott Van Slyke D.L.Dodgers placed OF Scott Van Slyke on the 15-day disabled list with left shoulder bursitis. Van Slyke initially suffered the injury in late May but had been playing through it. It's poor timing for Van Slyke, as he had been slated to receive regular at-bats while Carl Crawford and Matt Kemp were out. It's not clear how long he'll be sidelined. Jun 11 |

The right-hander noted that he's "absolutely" confident he'll pitch this season, but there's a level of uncertainty involved. He'll be shut down for the next four weeks before trying to throw again. If Beckett does ultimately need an operation, he expects to be ready for next season. Jun 5 |
| 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 |
| 5. Hyun-Jin Ryu |
| 6. Chris Capuano SidelinedChris Capuano (lat) threw four scoreless innings in his first rehab start Friday with Triple-A Albuquerque. He allowed one hit, no walks, and had five strikeouts. Capuano, currently on the DL with a left lat strain, is expected to rejoin the Dodgers' rotation on June 19 against the Yankees. Jun 15 |

Kotchman suffered the injury on Saturday and will probably be out three weeks. Jun 10 |

| LF | 1. Ryan Braun D.L.Ryan Braun (thumb) will be shut down from baseball activities for at least the next week. Braun is dealing with a nerve issue in his right hand, and the Brewers are hopeful that the symptoms will subside with some extra rest. If they don't, he'll just have to play through the ailment. "If it gets better, he'll start swinging again and then take BP," manager Ron Roenicke said. "Maybe when he comes off, it will go away. If not, he'll have to play and fight through it." Logan Schafer will see the bulk of the time in left field while Braun is out. Jun 16 |

The move clears a spot for Scott Atchison's return from the disabled list. Turner will be eligible to return in early July and has a chance to be ready by then. The 28-year-old is batting .266/.307/.330 in 94 at-bats this season. Jun 18 |
| SS | 1. Ruben Tejada D.L.Ruben Tejada (quad) is fielding grounders without moving laterally and running in a pool Tejada resumed running earlier this week and is slowly ramping up other baseball activities. It's not clear when he'll begin a rehab assignment, but considering how poorly he was playing prior to the injury, he shouldn't be assured a spot on the major league roster once he's back to full health.

| S | 1. Jon Niese SidelinedJon Niese yielded two runs in 5 2/3 innings in a loss to the Cubs on Saturday. He struck out five. Niese allowed six hits and four walks, so it wasn't pretty, but he kept his team in the ballgame. However, a two-run single by opposing pitcher Scott Feldman in the fourth inning was enough to put him on the losing side. The southpaw has allowed two earned runs or fewer in each of his last five starts and now owns a 4.15 ERA on the year. He'll face the Braves next week in Atlanta. Jun 15 |

| 6. Jenrry Mejia D.L.Jenrry Mejia (elbow) racked up six strikeouts over three innings during his first minor league rehab start with High-A St. Lucie on Friday. 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 |
| R | 1. Bobby Parnell |
| 2. Frank Francisco D.L.Frank Francisco (elbow) has resumed throwing off a mound. Francisco has been out all season due to a flexor strain in his right elbow. The Mets still don't have a timetable for his return, but he could begin pitching in rehab games by next week. Jun 15 |

| 8. Jeurys Familia D.L.Mets transferred RHP Jeurys Familia from the 15-day disabled list to the 60-day disabled list. It's just a procedural move to open a spot on the 40-man roster. Familia underwent surgery Wednesday to remove bone spurs from his right elbow and likely won't factor into the Mets' bullpen again until 2014. Jun 8 |

The triple led off the game and was the Pirates' only extra-base hit of the night. He later scored before singling in a run of his own in the seventh inning. Marte also stole a base in the game, his 21st of the season. Jun 18 |

| S | 1. A.J. Burnett D.L.A.J. Burnett said Friday that he has a Grade 1 tear in his right calf. Burnett, who was placed on the disabled list Thursday, said he currently can't put any weight on his leg. There's no clear timetable for his return, but the veteran right-hander said that he hopes it's "not a six-week thing." The Pirates and fantasy owners are hoping the game, but it doesn't sound like he'll be back when he's first eligible. Jun 14 |
| 2. Wandy Rodriguez D.L.Pirates manager Clint Hurdle said Monday that Wandy Rodriguez (forearm) "felt good" while throwing off the mound Monday. It's not clear what the next step will be, but it could be enough for the Pirates to send him out on a rehab start. Rodriguez has been sidelined since June 5 with left forearm tightness. Jun 17 |
| 3. James McDonald D.L.James McDonald (shoulder) might be moved to the bullpen when he is activated from the disabled list. Gerrit Cole's promotion and Charlie Morton's return created a potential logjam in the Pittsburgh rotation and McDonald is probably going to have to be the odd man out. The 28-year-old righty owns a 5.76 ERA and 1.65 WHIP in 29 2/3 innings this season. He is on the 15-day DL currently because of inflammation in his shoulder. Jun 17 |

Alonso suffered a fractured hand last Friday and Padres general manager Josh Byrnes believes he could miss a month. While it's nice to see the optimism and strong desire to return, the Padres will likely play things safe. Before the injury, the 26-year-old was off to a terrific start, hitting .284/.335/.416 with six homers and 29 RBI through his first 54 games. Kyle Blanks and Jesus Guzman are likely to see the majority of the starts at first base until Alonso returns. Jun 7 |
| 2. Jesus Guzman |
| 2B | 1. Jedd Gyorko D.L.Jedd Gyorko (groin) took grounders on the field prior to Tuesday's game. Gyorko landed on the DL over a week ago and is just now getting back into baseball activities. He's eligible to return in a week but will need to go out on a rehab assignment first. It's not clear when he'll be ready for that. Jun 18 |

| 3B | 1. Chase Headley |
| LF | 1. Carlos Quentin SidelinedCarlos Quentin (shoulder) is not in the Padres' lineup Tuesday. He's now missed four straight starts with a sore left shoulder. Quentin remains day-to-day for now, but the disabled list will become a possibility if he doesn't improve in a hurry. Chris Denorfia is starting in left field Tuesday. Jun 18 |

| CF | 1. Cameron Maybin D.L.Padres placed OF Cameron Maybin on the 15-day disabled list, retroactive to June 10, with a left knee strain. Maybin has a torn posterior cruciate ligament in his knee and is expected to miss 6-10 weeks. The Padres have called up Jaff Decker to replace him on the active roster while Chris Denorfia and Will Venable should pick up the slack in center field. Jun 12 |

| 6. Cory Luebke D.L.Padres manager Bud Black said there's a "definite possibility" that Cory Luebke (elbow) won't pitch in 2013. Luebke is currently working his way back from Tommy John surgery and has been shut down since last month with renewed soreness in his elbow. He will try to resume a throwing program in 2-3 weeks. While the Padres aren't counting on anything from Luebke right now, they haven't completely ruled out a mid-August return. Jun 8 |
| 7. Joe Wieland D.L.Joe Wieland (elbow) is scheduled to throw live batting practice on Saturday. It will be the first time he's done so since undergoing Tommy John surgery. Wieland is hoping to begin a rehab assignment by late June, with a return to the big league club coming after the All-Star break. May 28 |
| 8. 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 |

Crawford suffered the ailment during a stolen base attempt in the second inning. It's not clear at this point how serious it is. The Giants should have an update on his status after the game. Jun 18 |

"Hopefully there's some pins coming out tomorrow," he said Monday. "That's the plan, but obviously I don't know for sure until I get some X-rays tomorrow and see how things are healing." If Vogelsong is able to get the pins removed, he'll begin additional mobility exercises. The Giants are hoping to get him back in late July. Jun 17 |

| 6. Chris Carpenter D.L.Cardinals manager Mike Matheny said that Chris Carpenter felt some back stiffness during a long bullpen session Sunday. It's not clear if Carpenter will have to scale back his throwing program, but he'll likely need a few more bullpen sessions before the Cardinals think about the possibility of a rehab assignment. While it once looked like the veteran right-hander could return in late June, sometime during the second half appears more realistic at this point. Jun 17 |
| 7. John Gast D.L.John Gast has been diagnosed with a strained left lat. The Cardinals were encouraged by the diagnosis. "The timetable is to be determined, but the good news is that it's not the shoulder or the elbow," general manager John Mozeliak said. "Hopefully, it's something that won't take too long. With a lat, it can be up to a month or a month and a half. We'll see." Michael Wacha is taking Gast's spot in the rotation. May 28 |

| 6. Christian Garcia D.L.Christian Garcia (shoulder, forearm) has been shut down from his rehab assignment with Triple-A Syracuse. Garcia has been dealing with shoulder issues and is expected to receive treatment and be rested as a precautionary measure. The Nationals want Garcia to make four or five straight rehab outings without any problems before returning from the disabled list. Garcia has yet to pitch at the major league level this season due to a partial tendon tear in his forearm. He has a 2.57 ERA and eight strikeouts in seven innings over his first five rehab appearances. Jun 15 |
