| C | 1. Matt Wieters |
| 2. Taylor Teagarden  D.L.Taylor Teagarden (thumb) is scheduled to play in a game Monday in Sarasota, Florida. It will presumably be an extended spring training game. The Orioles will likely send him out on a brief rehab assignment from there, but he appears on track to return from the disabled list early next month. The 29-year-old backstop has been sidelined since April 27 with a dislocated left thumb. May 24 |
| 3. Chris Snyder |
| 1B | 1. Chris Davis |
| 2B | 1. Brian Roberts D.L.Brian Roberts (knee) will have the sutures removed from his right leg on Monday. They were supposed to be removed on Friday, but Roberts wasn't sufficiently healed at that time. The second baseman is coming back from surgery to repair a ruptured tendon in the back of his right knee and will be out for at least the next six weeks or so. May 19 |

| DH | 1. Wilson Betemit D.L.Wilson Betemit (knee) will begin light baseball activities next week. Betemit, who suffered a right PCL tear during spring training, received clearance after visiting the team doctor in Baltimore. The 31-year-old still has a way to go before returning to game action, but he's finally making some progress. May 23 |
| 2. Nolan Reimold D.L.Nolan Reimold (hamstring) is not expected to be ready for activation from the disabled list when first eligible. Reimold was placed on the 15-day disabled list retroactive to May 12 with a right hamstring strain. He is eligible to return on May 28 -- next Tuesday -- but his rehab is not that far along. The outfielder should be good to go at some point during the first few weeks of June. May 22 |
| 3. Steve Pearce |
| S | 1. Jason Hammel |
| 2. Wei-Yin Chen D.L.Wei-Yin Chen (oblique) will head to the Orioles' spring training complex Tuesday to begin his rehab. Chen landed on the 15-day disabled list May 13 with a strained right oblique and can't pick up a baseball for at least another week. But he's allowed to do cardio work while he waits. The right-hander should be ready to rejoin the O's starting rotation in early June. May 20 |

| 5. Freddy Garcia |
| 6. Kevin Gausman |
| 7. Tsuyoshi Wada D.L.Tsuyoshi Wada (elbow) allowed four runs over four innings Thursday in a rehab start at Triple-A Norfolk. Wada gave up three hits and issued two walks but he fanned five batters and made it all the way to 78 pitches (45 of which were strikes). He's on his way back from Tommy John reconstructive elbow surgery and is aiming to join the Orioles' starting rotation at some point in early-to-mind June. The left-hander signed a two-year, $8.15 million contract with the O's in December 2011 but has not yet thrown a pitch in a major league game. May 16 |

| 3B | 1. Will Middlebrooks D.L.Red Sox placed 3B Will Middlebrooks on the 15-day disabled list with lower back spasms. Middlebrooks suffered the injury Wednesday and aggravated it Thursday. The Red Sox initially said he was day-to-day, but evidently they've decided the best course of action was to sit him down for a couple weeks. Jose Iglesias has been promoted to fill his spot on the roster and will share time with Pedro Ciriaco at the hot corner. May 24 |

| RF | 1. Shane Victorino D.L.Red Sox placed OF Shane Victorino on the 15-day disabled list, retroactive to May 21, with a left hamstring strain. Victorino ran sprints prior to Thursday's game, but evidently he still hasn't made enough progress. Given that he's also had a back issue lately, it's probably best to let him rest for a couple weeks. Daniel Nava will handle right field while Victorino is out. May 24 |

| 6. Franklin Morales D.L.Franklin Morales (back, pectoral) is expected to make at least two more rehab starts before being activated from the disabled list. Morales threw three innings in his last outing and will stretch it out to four innings Saturday. The lefty would have been activated by now had the Red Sox wanted him as a reliever, but they're stretching him out as a starter in case he's needed in that role. "Well, he'll likely get to four innings [on Saturday], and if we don't change course with his role, we'd like to get him to a minimum of five before we'd look to do something back here," manager John Farrell said. May 15 |
| R | 1. Andrew Bailey |
| 2. Joel Hanrahan D.L.Joel Hanrahan was upbeat Friday after he required Tommy John surgery in addition to flexor tendon surgery on Thursday. Hanrahan will be in a cast for ten days, but will start the rehab process shortly thereafter. Either way, he's looking at a 12-to-14 month timetable for his return. Hanrahan, who is a free agent after the season, is a long way away from having any tangible fantasy value. May 17 |

Beckham had surgery in mid-April to remove the hamate bone from his hand, so the White Sox don't want to take any chances. He's expected to be held out of action until next Wednesday at the earliest. May 24 |
| 2. Tyler Greene |
| SS | 1. Alexei Ramirez |
| 2. Angel Sanchez D.L.CBS Sports' Jon Heyman reports that the White Sox have placed infielder Angel Sanchez (back) on waivers. Sanchez, a Rule 5 pick, has been on the disabled list for a little over a month with a lower back strain and is seven games into a rehab assignment with Triple-A Charlotte. If he goes unclaimed, he will be offered back to the Angels. May 23 |

It's obviously a tough break for Sale's fantasy owners, but the good news is that the move is viewed as precautionary and he's expected to be ready to start next Tuesday. Hector Santiago will get the ball Wednesday in Sale's place. He'll be pitching on three days' rest. May 21 |
| 2. Jake Peavy |
| 3. John Danks |
| 4. Gavin Floyd D.L.Gavin Floyd underwent successful surgery Wednesday to repair the ulnar collateral ligament and flexor muscle in his right elbow. The surgeon told the White Sox that the operation "could not have gone better." However, since he needed two major areas operated on, the recovery is expected to be 14-19 months rather than the standard 12 months for Tommy John surgery. With that timetable, Floyd probably shouldn't be counted on for a whole lot in 2014. He'll be a free agent over the winter. May 8 |

| C | 1. Carlos Santana |
| 2. Lou Marson D.L.Lou Marson (shoulder) admitted Monday that there is no timetable for his return to the Indians' active roster. Marson has begun throwing but is not yet performing any other baseball activities due to lingering soreness in his shoulder and neck. "It's definitely frustrating," the catcher told MLB.com. "I know what it is and kind of what I have to do. Hopefully, I can get on the field soon." May 20 |

| 3. Brett Myers D.L.Brett Myers (elbow) will make at least one more rehab start. Myers' velocity was down on Wednesday in his second rehab outing with Double-A Akron, and he walked four while allowing three runs over 4 1/3 frames. Assuming his velocity comes back up the next time out, he could rejoin the Indians' rotation after that. May 23 |
| 4. Zach McAllister |
| 5. Scott Kazmir |
| 6. Josh Tomlin D.L.Josh Tomlin (Tommy John surgery) could return near the end of the season. Tomlin went under the knife last August. At this point in his rehab, it's hard to predict if a 2013 return is in the cards. Tomlin has said he'd rather be 100 percent for 2014 rather than making a premature late-season return this year. The right-hander posted a 6.36 ERA in 16 starts and five relief appearances with the Indians last season. May 24 |

| 10. Blake Wood D.L.Blake Wood (elbow) will continue his minor league rehab assignment Wednesday with Class A Lake County. Wood felt some soreness in his surgically-repaired elbow during his first appearance on Saturday, but it was only a minor scare. The 27-year-old right-hander is currently in recovery mode from Tommy John surgery and will likely need a handful of appearances before he's a legitimate consideration for the major league roster. May 14 |
| 11. Frank Herrmann D.L.Indians transferred RHP Frank Herrmann from the 15-day disabled list to the 60-day disabled list. The move clears a spot for the newly-claimed Robert Whitenack on the 40-man roster. Herrmann had Tommy John surgery in March and will miss the entire 2013 season. Apr 3 |

| 3B | 1. Matt Dominguez SidelinedMatt Dominguez (quad) is expected to return to the Astros' starting lineup on Friday evening. Dominguez sat out Wednesday and will also use Thursday's scheduled team off day to rest his tight left quad. "I’m starting to figure certain things out at the plate, and I like to play," said the third baseman, "but it’s better to take the two days off now than risking weeks when it’s something that can be treated pretty easily." May 23 |
| LF | 1. J.D. Martinez |
| 2. Brandon Barnes |
| CF | 1. Justin Maxwell D.L.Justin Maxwell (hand) expects to begin a minor league rehab assignment next Wednesday with Class A Quad Cities. Maxwell, who fractured his left hand on month ago, took 20 swings in the cage on Friday without discomfort. He's likely looking at a return in early June. May 24 |

Norris has left each of his last two starts with lower back spasms, but both times his removal was considered precautionary. He received massage treatment Wednesday and thinks "the prevention process of taking care of it now and getting me out of the game will help." Assuming he doesn't have a setback over the next few days, the righty will likely face the Rockies on Monday. May 22 |

The Rule 5 pick appeared in two games with the Astros in early April prior to being placed on the disabled list. If all goes well, he could return to the big club sometime this month. May 9 |
| 5. Jose Cisnero |
| 6. Paul Clemens SidelinedPaul Clemens left Monday's appearance with a right pinkie injury. Clemens was struck by a comebacker and appeared to dislocate the finger, but the Astros' trainer popped it back in place and he stayed in to face one more batter. The club reconsidered after that, though, and decided to remove him. Clemens saved the bullpen with 5 1/3 scoreless relief frames after Erik Bedard lasted only 1/3 of an inning. Apr 16 |
| 7. Travis Blackley |
| 8. Edgar Gonzalez |
| 9. Alex White D.L.Alex White will undergo Tommy John surgery. White showed diminished velocity this spring and was diagnosed with a strained pitching elbow, but the injury turned out to be worse than that. The young right-hander will obviously miss all of 2013 and might not be ready for the start of 2014. Apr 5 |

He's likely to need a few minor league rehab games before returning to the Angels' lineup, but it looks likely that he'll return in early June. Hamstring injuries can tend to linger and pose a high re-injury risk however, so play it cautiously when re-inserting the speedy outfielder into your fantasy lineups. May 24 |

| DH | 1. Mark Trumbo |
| S | 1. Jered Weaver D.L.Angels manager Mike Scioscia said Jered Weaver (elbow) will rejoin the rotation next week as long as his between-starts bullpen session goes well. Weaver didn't make any minor league rehab starts, but he pitched a few times in extended spring training, including on Wednesday when he struck out nine over 5 2/3 innings of one-run ball. He seems likely to start either next Monday or Tuesday against the Dodgers, putting him in line for a two-start week. May 23 |
| 2. C.J. Wilson |
| 3. Joe Blanton |
| 4. Jason Vargas |
| 5. Tommy Hanson D.L.Tommy Hanson is scheduled to throw 75 pitches Saturday in an extended spring training game. Hanson has been away from the team since early May due to a death in the family. Since he's had such a long layoff, the assumption is that he'll make at least one more extended spring training start before rejoining the Angels. That means he won't be back until June 4 at the earliest. Hanson is 2-1 with a 3.86 ERA and 17/9 K/BB ratio through his first 28 innings with the Angels. May 24 |

Madson felt renewed soreness in his right arm while trying to throw this week and has been shut down indefinitely. There is no longer a timetable for his return and he can be dropped in most fantasy formats at this point. Ernesto Frieri is the Angels' ninth-inning man. May 22 |

Jepsen, who has been out since mid-April with a triceps ailment, will make a third rehab appearance this week, but it sounds like it could be his final one. He'll return to middle relief for the Halos. May 23 |

| 2. Chris Stewart |
| 3. Austin Romine |
| 1B | 1. Mark Teixeira D.L.Mark Teixeira (wrist) expects to play rehab games with Double-A Trenton next Wednesday and Thursday. Teixeira has participated in simulated games this week and will test himself in extended spring training on Saturday, Monday and Tuesday. He'll be reevaluated after his two rehab games with Trenton, but there's a chance that he could be activated from the disabled list late next week if all goes well. Teixeira has been sidelined since early March with a torn tendon sheath in his wrist. May 24 |

Once the boot is removed, he'll be eased into baseball activities again. The future Hall of Famer won't be an option at shortstop for the Yankees until after the All-Star break. May 16 |
| 2. Eduardo Nunez D.L.Eduardo Nunez (rib cage) took batting practice Wednesday. It's the first time he's done so since landing on the DL, as he had been limited to hitting off a tee and taking soft-toss. When Nunez will be ready to return to game action isn't known, but it shouldn't be too far off. May 22 |

| 3B | 1. Alex Rodriguez D.L.Alex Rodriguez (hip) fielded grounders and took 25 swings in an indoor batting cage Monday at the Yankees' minor league complex in Tampa, Florida. Kicking off his third week of on-field activities following hip surgery, Rodriguez also ran from pole to pole near the warning track four times. "Not bad," said Rodriguez. It's not clear when he'll begin playing in games, but the Yankees hope to have him back around midseason. May 20 |
| 2. Kevin Youkilis D.L.Kevin Youkilis (back) will play in an extended spring training game Saturday. Mark Teixeira is also slated to play as he works his way back from a wrist injury. Youkilis has been sidelined for nearly a month with a lumbar spine strain, but he could rejoin the Yankees late next week if he can avoid setbacks. May 24 |
| 3. David Adams |
| LF | 1. Curtis Granderson SidelinedCurtis Granderson (fractured knuckle) will miss a minimum of four weeks. Granderson sustained the injury when he was hit by a pitch during the fifth inning of Friday's game against the Rays. It's a tough blow for the Yankees, who will turn back to Ichiro Suzuki and Brennan Boesch to carry the load while Granderson is sidelined. May 24 |

Kuroda's calf tightened up on him an inning after he was hit with a comebacker Wednesday, forcing him to leave the game. But he'll be fine. The right-hander is scheduled to face the Mets early next week. May 22 |
| 3. Andy Pettitte D.L.Andy Pettitte (trapezius) played catch Thursday and Friday and is scheduled to throw a bullpen session Saturday. Pettitte was placed on the disabled list last week with a strained trapezius muscle, but he's currently throwing without any discomfort. The veteran left-hander expects to throw a simulated game rather than go out on a minor league rehab assignment. Either way, he should return around when he's first eligible on June 1. May 24 |
| 4. Phil Hughes |
| 5. Ivan Nova |
| 6. David Phelps SidelinedDavid Phelps was diagnosed with a right forearm contusion. Phelps was removed from his start against the Rays in the eight inning on Friday after being drilled on the forearm by a line drive. However, X-rays ruled out anything serious. It sounds like he'll be fine to make his next scheduled start against the Mets, but Ivan Nova is a candidate to replace him if the Yankees decide to play it safe. May 24 |
| 7. Michael Pineda D.L.Michael Pineda (shoulder) threw five innings Thursday in a start at extended spring training. Pineda's fastball sat near 93 mph all afternoon and he reported no issues with his surgically-repaired shoulder. The right-hander is expected to make one more start at the Yankees' spring complex before heading out on a minor league rehab assignment. He should be stashed right now in leagues with big roster allotments. May 23 |

Chamberlain pitched a scoreless inning for Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre over a week ago, but the Yankees didn't think he was ready yet. However, if all goes well, there's a chance he could be activated late next week. The 27-year-old has been sidelined since April 27 with a strained oblique. May 23 |

The 25-year-old southpaw is set to be reevaluated after four weeks, so his actual return to the Athletics likely won't be until around the early part of July. Dan Straily is filling his spot in the rotation for now, but the A's could turn to Sonny Gray if he continues to struggle. May 17 |

King Felix recorded eight strikeouts, but he allowed eight hits and walked a pair. The Mariners' ace left his last outing with a back issue, so it's possible it was an issue for him again today. As long as he's healthy, Hernandez is obviously a good bet to bounce back against the Rangers his next time out. May 19 |

| 6. Josh Kinney D.L.Josh Kinney (shoulder, ribs) is scheduled to begin a rehab assignment Thursday with Triple-A Tacoma. Kinney has been on the shelf all season because of a stress reaction in his left shoulder and rib cage. He's likely to spend around two weeks in the minor leagues. May 16 |

| S | 1. David Price D.L.Rays placed LHP David Price on the 15-day disabled list with a strained left triceps muscle. Price suffered the injury Wednesday night in his start against the Red Sox. An MRI taken shortly after his exit showed no major damage and the Rays are optimistic that he will only miss a few turns in the rotation, but nothing is certain quite yet. Jake Odorizzi and Chris Archer are the primary candidates to replace Price. May 16 |

| 7. Brandon Gomes D.L.Rays placed RHP Brandon Gomes on the 15-day disabled list, retroactive to May 8, with a right lat strain. Gomes had been pitching well for Tampa, putting up a 1.03 WHIP and 16/2 K/BB ratio over 11 2/3 innings. It's not clear at this point how long he'll be out. Josh Lueke has replaced him on the roster. May 10 |
| 8. Josh Lueke |
| 9. Jeff Niemann D.L.Rays transferred RHP Jeff Niemann from the 15-day disabled list to the 60-day disabled list. The move clears a spot on the 40-man roster for the newly-acquired Jeff Beliveau. Niemann underwent shoulder surgery last week and is unlikely to return this season. Apr 16 |
| 10. Juan Carlos Oviedo D.L.Rays purchased the contract of RHP Juan Carlos Oviedo, placed him on the 60-day disabled list with a right elbow injury. Oviedo is working his way back from Tommy John surgery and will miss most, if not all, of the 2013 season. The Rays obviously have decided he's worth hanging onto in hopes he can contribute in 2014.

| 2B | 1. Ian Kinsler D.L.Rangers placed 2B Ian Kinsler on the 15-day disabled list, retroactive to May 18, with an intercostal strain. Kinsler hasn't started the last two games with rib soreness and said he still felt discomfort during batting practice on Sunday. The Rangers aren't overly concerned about the injury, but top prospect Jurickson Profar will be called up to replace Kinsler on the active roster. Kinsler is batting .302/.369/.500 with seven home runs through his first 40 games this season. May 19 |

| S | 1. Matt Harrison D.L.Matt Harrison recently had a setback with his back that required an additional surgery on Wednesday. Harrison underwent an operation on April 23 to repair a herniated disk in his lower back but began feeling additional discomfort this week, necessitating another procedure. According to T.R. Sullivan of MLB.com, the Rangers are "operating under the assumption that Harrison will pitch again this season, but he will be out for at least three months." In other words, we won't see him again until August at the earliest, and it seems like there's a good chance it will be longer than that. May 1 |

| 4. Alexi Ogando D.L.Rangers manager Ron Washington said Friday that he's not sure whether Alexi Ogando (biceps) will require a minor league rehab start before coming off the disabled list. Ogando will throw off flat ground on Saturday and is scheduled to throw a bullpen session on Monday. An MRI revealed no structural damage in his biceps, so as long as he feels no pain, he should be ready to go as soon as he's eligible to come off the disabled list. May 24 |
| 5. Nick Tepesch |
| 6. Justin Grimm |
| 7. Colby Lewis D.L.Colby Lewis (elbow) acknowledged on Monday afternoon that he's unhappy with his fastball velocity. Lewis was sitting around 85-86 mph in his rehab start Monday at Double-A Frisco and wants to be closer to 89-91 mph by the time he returns to the major leagues. The hope had been that he would be ready to rock during the first week of June, but a more realistic timetable calls for him to be activated near the middle of the month. Lewis is on his way back from major right elbow surgery. May 20 |
| 8. Neftali Feliz D.L.Neftali Feliz (elbow) is long-tossing at 120 feet. Feliz's rehab from Tommy John surgery is going fine, although it's not yet been announced when he'll be ready to throw off a mound. We expect him to return to a major league mound late in the summer. May 19 |
| 9. Ross Wolf |
| R | 1. Joe Nathan |
| 2. Joakim Soria D.L.Joakim Soria (elbow) will be shut down for 2-3 weeks with a strained pectoral muscle and is now not expected to return until around July 1. A tough break for the Rangers, as Soria had been slated to join the Rangers' bullpen as soon as late next month. The good news is that his surgically-repaired elbow is fine. The Rangers will continue to use a host of players to set up for Joe Nathan. Apr 22 |

| SS | 1. Jose Reyes D.L.Blue Jays general manager Alex Anthopoulos said it "would not surprise me" if Jose Reyes returned in late June. Reyes had the walking boot on his left foot removed Tuesday and is evidently recovering a bit ahead of schedule, as he had been expected to sit out until around the All-Star break. The shortstop is still in the early stages of his recovery, though. A lot can happen over the next six weeks. May 14 |

| 2. Rajai Davis D.L.Rajai Davis (oblique) has been sent to Florida to start his rehab. Davis hasn't played since May 10 due to a strained oblique. Blue Jays manager John Gibbons doesn't expect it to be a long-term injury, so it's possible he could return later this month. May 17 |

| 2. Josh Johnson D.L.Josh Johnson (triceps) will make at least two more rehab starts. Johnson struck out five over three innings of one-run ball on Monday with High-A Dunedin. He's feeling good physically, but the right-hander obviously needs to build up his stamina. He'll rejoin the rotation in early June if he can avoid a setback. May 21 |
| 3. Brandon Morrow |
| 4. Mark Buehrle |
| 5. J.A. Happ D.L.Blue Jays transferred LHP J.A. Happ from the 15-day disabled list to the 60-day disabled list. Happ was hoping to make it back by mid-June, but he now won't be eligible to return until early July. The left-hander is coming back from a small fracture behind his left ear as well as a sprained right knee. May 24 |
| 6. Dustin McGowan D.L.Dustin McGowan (shoulder) will continue his minor league rehab assignment with Triple-A Buffalo. McGowan allowed one hit and one walk over two scoreless innings with High-A Dunedin and notched four strikeouts. The Blue Jays can't count on him given his lengthy injury history, but he could be an option to join the bullpen later this month if all goes well. May 17 |
| 7. Chad Jenkins |
| 8. Sean Nolin |
| 9. Kyle Drabek D.L.Kyle Drabek (elbow) expects to throw live batting practice in the next week or two. Drabek threw a bullpen session Monday in extended spring training. He's coming back from the second Tommy John surgery of his career, so the Blue Jays figure to take things slow, but he could be looking at a return around midseason if all goes well. May 8 |
| R | 1. Casey Janssen |
| 2. Sergio Santos D.L.Blue Jays transferred RHP Sergio Santos from the 15-day disabled list to the 60-day disabled list. The move was made in order to clear room on the 40-man roster for Thad Weber. Santos will be out until after the All-Star break following surgery to remove bone chips and spurs from his right elbow. May 19 |
| 3. Darren Oliver D.L.Blue Jays placed LHP Darren Oliver on the 15-day disabled list, retroactive to May 19. with a left shoulder strain. Oliver has been dealing with the ailment for 7-10 and hadn't appeared in a game in nearly a week. He shouldn't be out long, but the Jays have decided to play things safe. Toronto still has two lefties in the bullpen in Aaron Loup and Brett Cecil. May 24 |

| 10. Luis Perez D.L.Luis Perez (elbow) is expected to appear in an extended spring training game later this week. Perez has been throwing bullpen sessions, but this will be his first appearance in a game. He's expected to return from Tommy John surgery around midseason. May 6 |
