  • Amed Rosario SS | CIN

    Reds' Amed Rosario: Exits 40-man roster

    The Reds designated Rosario for assignment Monday.

    The team needed to make a couple 40-man roster moves in order to activate two players from the 60-day injured list. Rosario is set to be a free agent this offseason, so this will simply allow him to reach the market a few days earlier. He hit .280/.306/.380 with three homers and 13 steals for the Rays, Dodgers and Reds in 2024.

    Dodgers' Shohei Ohtani: On track for Game 3

    Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said Sunday that Ohtani (shoulder) is "in a great spot and will be playing" Monday in Game 3 of the World Series against the Yankees, Karl Ravech of ESPN reports.

    The presumed National League MVP suffered a left shoulder subluxation on a slide while trying to steal second base during Game 2 on Saturday, but it appears he'll be ready to go for Game 3 after undergoing an MRI. Ohtani has gone 13-for-50 (.260 average) with 12 walks, three homers, 10 RBI and 13 runs through his first 13 playoff games.

    Ohtani suffered a left shoulder subluxation in the seventh inning of Saturday's 4-2 win over the Yankees in Game 2 of the World Series, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports. He went 0-for-3 with a walk in the victory.

The upcoming tests should help determine whether Ohtani will be available for the remainder of the World Series.

    Dodgers' Shohei Ohtani: Won't pitch in World Series

    Manager Dave Roberts confirmed Thursday that Ohtani (elbow) will not pitch in the World Series, Bill Shaikin of the Los Angeles Times reports.

    Ohtani has always been a long shot to pitch at any point in 2024 while recovering from elbow surgery. He should continue to serve as the Dodgers' leadoff man in the World Series and could be ready to retake the mound in early 2025.

    Reyes slashed .290/.348/.564 with 25 homers over 368 plate appearances with the Fighters this season. The 29-year-old could attempt to return to a major-league organization eventually but will remain in Japan for at least one more year.

  • David Fry C | CLE

    Guardians' David Fry: Getting elbow checked out

    Fry will have his right elbow examined by Dr. Keith Meister in Texas next week, Zack Meisel of The Athletic reports.

    Fry had to exit a game back in late June due to right elbow inflammation. While he didn't require any additional time off, he made just one start at catcher and zero starts in the outfield after the injury. It's not yet clear whether he might need surgery, but more information on his status should be available following next week's exam. Fry slashed .263/.356/.448 with 14 home runs over 122 games during the regular season before adding an .869 OPS and two more homers during the playoffs for the Guardians.

    Manzardo isn't in the lineup for Game 5 of the ALCS against the Yankees, Zack Meisel of The Athletic reports.

    With southpaw Carlos Rodon set to start on the bump for New York, the left-handed bat of Manzardo will stay put in the Guardians' dugout. David Fry will step in as the designated hitter and bat second.

  • J.D. Martinez DH | NYM

    Mets' J.D. Martinez: Getting start at DH

    Martinez will start at designated hitter and bat sixth Wednesday in Game 3 of the NLCS versus the Dodgers.

    Jesse Winker was in the DH slot in each of the first two games of the series, but Martinez will get a shot Wednesday against right-hander Walker Buehler. It's Martinez's first start since Game 4 of the NLDS and his fourth start in 10 games this postseason for the Mets.

  • Red Sox's Masataka Yoshida: Undergoes shoulder surgery

    Yoshida underwent surgery Oct. 3 to repair a labral tear in his right shoulder, Ian Browne of MLB.com reports.

    The hope is that Yoshida will be ready in time for Opening Day, although it's not clear how limited, if at all, he will be during spring training. Yoshida slashed .280/.349/.415 with 10 home runs over 108 games for Boston this season as its full-time designated hitter.
