Brooks Raley (elbow) is “not close” to throwing, per manager Carlos Mendoza. (Source: Tim Britton on Twitter)

Pete Fairbanks (arm) is with the team and expected to be activated this week. (Source: Marc Topkin on Twitter )

Fantasy Impact: Fairbanks completed two rehab outings with Triple-A Durham and has rejoined the team. Fantasy managers should expect him to return to the closer’s role upon his return.


Seiya Suzuki (oblique) has been activated from the 10-day IL. (Source: Meghan Montemurro on X)

Fantasy Impact: Suzuki has been out of action since April 14th due to an oblique strain but felt good in his rehab assignment this week. He'll look to pick up where he left off before getting hurt where he hit .305 with an .893 OPS in 15 games to start the season.


Dansby Swanson has been placed on the 10-day IL due to a right knee sprain. (Source: Meghan Montemurro on X)

Fantasy Impact: Swanson has been dealing with pain in his knee since April 25th and the Cubs were hoping he would be better after a few days off. The issue seems to still be lingering, so the Cubs will play it safe and put the shortstop on the IL. Nico Hoerner will get the bulk of starts at shortstop, with Nick Madrigal and Miles Mastrobuoni getting time at second base.


Masataka Yoshida’s will not need surgery on his injured left thumb. (Source: Ian Browne on Twitter)

Fantasy Impact: This was Yoshida’s third opinion on the injury. While there is no timetable for his return, he will be able to focus on rehab and will no longer have to undergo a procedure.


Willson Contreras (forearm) came through surgery well earlier this week and is likely to miss 10 weeks for recovery. (Source: John Denton on Twitter)

Fantasy Impact: Contreras originally sustained a forearm fracture this past Tuesday, May 7 when he was struck by a swing from Mets' designated hitter J.D. Martinez. Contreras is obviously a tough loss for the Cardinals, as he's been one of the best bats so far this season, posting a .950 OPS with six homers and 11 doubles through 31 games. Contreras hopes to be back around the All-Star break.


The Rangers have placed Josh Sborz on the 15-day IL with a right rotator cuff strain. (Source: Rangers PR on Twitter)

Fantasy Impact: This is definitely concerning for the Rangers, as this marks the second trip to the injured list for Sborz with the same injury. The Rangers will likely add a bullpen arm on Friday.


Drew Rom underwent arthroscopic surgery on his injured left shoulder last week. (Source: Jeff Jones on Twitter)

Fantasy Impact: The team is hopeful that because the operation was considered minor that Rom will be able to return before the end of the season.


Bryan Woo (elbow) will be activated from the 15-day IL and start Friday vs the Athletics. (Source: Ryan Divish on X)

Fantasy Impact: Woo completed his rehab assignment earlier this week and now the Mariners have confirmed where Woo will make his 2024 debut. He only threw 66 pitches in his final rehab start, so he may not see a full workload on Friday. Bryce Miller will pitch on Saturday and Luis Castillo on Sunday.
