Roberts added that Glasnow will undergo a precautionary MRI to rule out anything serious after he experienced back spasms that led to his removal from Wednesday’s start against the Astros after just one inning. There should be a clearer idea of his status at some point later this week, but early indications are that Glasnow will make his next start against the Giants next Wednesday.

Pagán has been diagnosed with a Grade 2 hamstring strain and is expected to miss roughly 4-8 weeks. The -year-old stopper told reporters he thought he tore his hamstring and that his season was over when he hobbled off the mound after throwing a pitch during Tuesday’s relief appearance against the Cubs at Wrigley Field. He’s facing an extended absence, but his season isn’t over. It’ll likely be either Tony Santillan or Graham Ashcraft taking over the closer role for Cincinnati during his absence.

It’s happening. The worst-kept secret in baseball for the last few days has been that Snelling was going to be brought up to make his big-league debut after Miami finally jettisoned Chris Paddack from their rotation. It became undeniable after Braxton Garrett made his scheduled start for Triple-A Jacksonville on Tuesday night. The 22-year-old southpaw is one of the top pitching prospects in baseball and has outstanding at Triple-A Jacksonville this season with a microscopic 1.86 ERA and 44/15 K/BB ratio across 29 innings. There will be some of the usual growing pains for a talented young arm acclimating to life in the majors, but Snelling offers enough strikeout upside that he should be rostered in all fantasy formats.

Tigers manager A.J. Hinch also received a one-game suspension. Valdez, who received an additional undisclosed fine, denied afterwards intentionally throwing at Red Sox shortstop Trevor Story after serving up back-to-back homers during Tuesday’s blowout loss to the Red Sox. It sure seemed intentional. The league seems to agree. It’s possible he’ll wind up appealing the suspension, but he’s going to miss his next turn in Detroit’s rotation later this week. The timing is terrible for the Tigers since they’re already shorthanded after losing ace Tarik Skubal to elbow surgery earlier this week.

There’s been no indication that Rice is headed to the injured list as he continues to receive treatment for a left hand bruise that he suffered over the weekend. There should be a clearer picture regarding his availability leading into Thursday’s series finale. It’s possible the Yankees are merely handling the situation with an abundance of caution to make sure Rice, who is rapidly blossoming into one of the elite sluggers in baseball, is fully healthy before he returns to the lineup. It’ll be veteran Paul Goldschmidt taking over at first base to face Rangers ace Nathan Eovaldi on Wednesday night.

Glasnow motioned for the trainer after throwing a warm-up pitch in the bottom of the second inning. There was a brief conversation, and then Glasnow left the mound with the trainer. Glasnow’s fastball velocity was actually up in his first inning, so nothing indicated he was dealing with an injury until he threw that warm-up pitch. We will wait for more information, but there’s a chance he’s just dealing with a minor flare up in his lower back.

This is just a brutal blow for an Astros team, whose starting rotation has also been ransacked by injuries. Correa felt a pop while taking a swing during pregame batting practice on Tuesday and went down in pain. The recovery time for this injury is 6 to 8 months, so he should be able to return for the start of the 2027 season. In the meantime, Isaac Paredes will become a full-time player at third base for the Astros and should be picked up in any leagues where he is still on the waiver wires.

This didn’t look good at all. Pagán hobbled off the mound and went to the ground clutching his left hamstring after throwing his first pitch of the ninth inning of a tie ballgame. The 34-year-old was carted off the field after several minutes. There should be an update on his status prior to Wednesday’s contest, but it certainly looks like an injured list situation. Tony Santillan or Graham Ashcraft would likely be next up for saves in Cincinnati.

Hicks drilled a two-run single to right-center field against Orioles starter Chris Bassitt with two outs in the second inning before taking reliever Grant Wolfram deep for his eighth round-tripper of the season. The unheralded 26-year-old backstop should be able to find enough at-bats between first base and catcher to be a fantasy-relevant option in all leagues the rest of the way. He’s off to a really strong start this season, hitting .321 through 33 games. He’s currently tied with Matt Olson with a major-league leading 32 RBI during that span.

Suzuki added that Kikuchi has opted for the rest and rehabilitation route instead of undergoing shoulder surgery, which likely would’ve been season-ending. The 34-year-old southpaw, who hit the injured list with shoulder inflammation over the weekend, will need to build up his stamina and workload from the ground floor once he’s cleared to resume throwing in a couple weeks. It’s relatively safe to assume he won’t return until sometime around the All-Star break in July. It’ll be Sam Aldegheri getting the first opportunity to replace Kikuchi in Los Angeles’ rotation when he takes the ball against the White Sox on Tuesday night.
