Braves utility man Sean Rodriguez could miss the entire season with a shoulder injury he sustained in a car accident.

jerry remy has had a relapse of lung cancer

@JeffPassan
There is significant concern inside the Cardinals' organization that Alex Reyes, their star pitching prospect, needs Tommy John surgery.

@nickpiecoro
Dbacks announce bench coach Ron Gardenhire has been diagnosed with prostate cancer.

@rustindodd
Brian Flynn fell through the roof of his barn in days before camp, Ned Yost said. Suffered broken rib and some other injuries. Out 8 weeks.

@LangoschMLB
Alex Reyes will have Tommy John surgery and will miss the 2017 season.

@Sullivan_Ranger
Josh Hamilton has "tweaked" his left knee and sent back to Texas for further examination.

DON: Well, yeah.

hmmmm

Oh yeah, Homer Bailey is hurt again...Reds do have a sad history of guys like this over the decades.

@AnthonyDiComo
David Wright is in New York. He has a right shoulder impingement and won't throw for "a couple weeks." Opening Day "questionable." #Mets

I'm assuming Reyes is Mets' 3b this year

knee surgery for Josh Hamilton

@JeffPassan
Forearm soreness, MRI and second opinion is baseball's version of the Axis of Evil. Red Sox are not optimistic about David Price's elbow.

Ian Desmond breaks his hand in Rockies spring game on errant Reds pitch

http://www.denverpost.com/2017/03/12/ian-desmond-rockies-hand-injury/

Anthony DeScalfini of the Reds is at Elbow stage II. He had a sore elbow, now it is sore again on the DL and I am sure it will follow with him getting a couple starts in and it gets sore again with Tommy John surgery to follow and see you in mid late 2018.

Drew Smyly, flexor strain

@JDJohnDickinson
#SFGiants have placed Madison Bumgarner DL w/bruised ribs & left shoulder sprain from a dirt bike accident on team’s off day in Denver.

No respect for the game.

Pablo Sandoval was placed on the 10-day disabled list Tuesday with a sprained right knee

Felix going back to Seattle to get his shoulder checked out, reporting "dead arm." Expecting the worst tbh. Mitch Haniger also to the DL.

shelby miller, ucl tear *and* flexor strain

fuck i keep forgetting this goddamn board doesnt link Twitter anymore

@DPLennon
#Mets announce partial tear of lat muscle for Syndergaard. Matz spent 2 months on DL with similar injury in 2015.

that's one way to get him to the doctor

Maybe some long-toss tomorrow?

Dodgers outfielder Andrew Toles was diagnosed with a torn ACL and will undergo season-ending surgery.

Tex
9:29 Maeda to the DL with a "tight hamstring". Sounds like LAD are screwing around with the new 10-day DL list. Can you help explain what's happening here, and when we might expect to see him pitch again if that's really true? If they are basically just using the DL as an excuse to skip his spot, would he be eligible to pitch next Sunday vs. MIA? He was dropped in my league last night. Should I swoop in and grab, these shenanigans aside?

Jeff Sullivan
9:30 The Dodgers are definitely taking full advantage of the 10-day DL in order to shuffle through a variety of starters without having to make tough decisions
It's not a secret, and they're not even denying it

@Ken_Rosenthal
Source: #Braves’ Freeman has a fractured left wrist. Expectation is that he will miss at least eight weeks.

Dallas Keuchel DL'd with pinched nerve

@HardballTalk

Michael Pineda has partial tear of UCL. Will go on DL...tommy John surgery likely #yankees

— Meredith Marakovits (@M_Marakovits) July 14, 2017

man, he has just had the most frustrating career

Astros have placed Carlos Correa on the 10-day disabled list with a torn ligament in his left thumb. He is expected to miss 6 to 8 weeks.

— Houston Astros (@astros) July 18, 2017

Scherzer hopefully okay--it's even helping with his "home run swing." (Right below, Andrew Miller's hurt.)

Tomlin out six weeks, too.

in non-injury news, lance lynn took a 105-mph liner off of his head from lorenzo cain and...was fine, apparently? he stayed in the game, still pitching an inning later. really weird.

willson contreras out 2-4 weeks with hamstring injury

Who the fuck lets a guy pitch in that case? Is it 1952?

At times after starts, Steven Matz’s elbow swelled to the size of a grapefruit. Insisted on pitching:https://t.co/YAYXMJZwdk

— Marc Carig (@MarcCarig) August 22, 2017

trevor rosenthal's done for the year, possibly some of next year, depending on whether or not he needs surgery.

Trevor Rosenthal will undergo Tommy John surgery next week.

— Jenifer Langosch (@LangoschMLB) August 23, 2017

Yikes.

Goldschmidt's hurting now. I don't know if I'm just noticing more, or if this year really has been especially terrible for high-profile injuries.

Ned Yost is back at home after his horrific fall that shattered his pelvis. He told me, “There’s no doubt I would have bled out if I didn’t have my cellphone with me. There was nobody that was coming. Nobody would have found me. I would have been dead by nightfall.”
