Injury Notes: Heyward, Sabathia, Warren, Shoemaker, E-Rod, Dahl

By Mark Polishuk | July 4, 2017 at 11:54am CDT

The latest on some DL situations around the league…

  • The Cubs have activated Jason Heyward from the 10-day DL.  Infielder Jeimer Candelario and righty Felix Pena were optioned to Triple-A, while left-hander Jack Leathersich was called up in corresponding moves.  Heyward has missed two weeks due to a left hand abrasion, his second DL stint of the season after missing time due to a sprained finger in May.  The injuries haven’t helped Heyward’s goal of regaining his former offensive consistency, as the outfielder has a .258/.315/.399 slash line over 217 PA this season.  [Updated Cubs depth chart at Roster Resource]
  • The Yankees have activated C.C. Sabathia and Adam Warren from the disabled list, and optioned right-handers Domingo German and Bryan Mitchell to Triple-A in corresponding moves.  Sabathia will start today’s game against the Blue Jays, his first outing since hitting the DL with a Grade 2 hamstring strain in mid-June.  The veteran southpaw is looking to continue a strong campaign that has seen him post a 3.46 ERA over 75 1/3 innings.  Warren was also enjoying a very good season (2.23 ERA, 8.4 K/9, 3.33 K/BB rate) in 32 1/3 IP out of New York’s bullpen before being sidelined with shoulder inflammation for the last three weeks.
  • Matt Shoemaker is scheduled for a minor league rehab start today, Jeff Fletcher of the Orange County Register tweets.  The righty will need at least one more rehab game after today before returning to the Angels roster.  Shoemaker went on the DL with forearm tightness in mid-June, though that ominous-sounding injury was related to his extensor muscle, and an MRI revealed no structural damage.  Shoemaker has a 4.52 ERA, 2.46 K/BB rate and 8.0 K/9 over 77 2/3 IP for the Angels this year and he has had trouble keeping the ball in the park, with 15 home runs allowed.
  • The Red Sox will won’t bring Eduardo Rodriguez back to the rotation before the All-Star break, Tim Britton of the Providence Journal tweets.  Rodriguez hasn’t pitched since June 1 due to a partial right kneecap dislocation, the latest in a series of knee injuries the left-handed has dealt with in his young career.  The Sox could give Rodriguez another rehab start in the minors or activate him from the DL for use as a reliever next weekend, Britton writes.
  • David Dahl has been pain-free for over a month, the Rockies outfielder tells Patrick Saunders of the Denver Post as Dahl continues to recover from a stress fracture in his ribcage.  There isn’t yet a timetable for a rehab assignment or Dahl’s return to Colorado’s roster, and it is likely both he and the team want to be as certain as possible given the lingering nature of the injury, which has plagued Dahl since very early in Spring Training.

    Welcome back CC and hopefully get back to the solid numbers you were putting up before the injury. Warren will help but this BP is far from what it was supposed to be.

    Might as well leave Rodriquez at Pawtucket for another cpl weeks and let fister have 2 more starts before deciding what to do with him. he does fair and might be able to move him for more than just the contract value, tho probably not much.

    Heyward has to be one of the worst free agent signings of all time. What a disappointment!

        First what is sordt? Second 2009 ring and a couple MVP’s. Third lots of playoff appearances. Finally plenty of people through the turnstiles and high ratings on YES network. You’re definitely reaching!

        Price still has a chance to be useful. Not awful last season and injured early this year. hamilton was a true bust. Pujols hasn’t been terrible and produced some.. Crawford was a bust. Choo not very good so far. Albert belle and his degenerative hips with the orioles, collecting his 35m contract while not playing for 3y would enter him into consideration. His poor attitude helps also.

        Sandoval, Cain there are and have been many who vie for the title of worst deal ever. Mets of course win it for worst lingering with that Bonilla deal which just won’t go away..

      Not even close. There have been tons of high value contracts signed in recent years where the player ends up adding zero value to the team. Heyward’s offensive numbers might not be worth the $170M+ he signed for, but at least he still adds defensive value to the Cubs.

          Not my fault you don’t understand the value of a good defense.

          Did I say his defense was worth $170M? No, but it still adds value to his team.

          The ending of your last sentence did. You can bring up numerous players for defense..like the old saying goes”you can shake a bush and lots of gloves fall out but few bats”.

          His defense won’t do the club much good if he’s not hitting. You kinda need both to be a big leaguer.

      Disagree. He’s been pretty consistent this year. Actually one of their best hitters, and his defense is second to none. Defensive runs saved are huge.

      If I’m the Rockies wouldn’t make that trade. For one Gray is always injured. Second his curve ball in Denver would get launched like Bonds use to do to fastballs.
