Injury Notes: Darvish, Shaw, A’s, Brewers, Bucs

By Connor Byrne | June 24, 2018 at 1:33pm CDT

Right-hander Yu Darvish, out since May 23 with triceps tendinitis, is nearing a return to the Cubs’ rotation. Darvish will make a Single-A rehab start Monday and could head back to the majors thereafter, per Paul Sullivan of the Chicago Tribune. It’s not yet clear whether he’d bounce Mike Montgomery from the team’s rotation, as the lefty has performed well as a starter in Darvish’s absence and caught the attention of the Cubs’ front office in the process. Should Chicago choose to keep Montgomery and the walk-happy Tyler Chatwood in starting roles, it could go to a six-man rotation upon Darvish’s return.

More injury updates from around the majors:

  • The Rockies announced that they’ve placed reliever Bryan Shaw on the 10-day disabled list with a right calf strain and recalled righty Yency Almonte from Triple-A Albuquerque. The DL placement continues a season to forget for Shaw, who’s in the first of a three-year, $27MM deal. Shaw has disappointed with his new club thus far, having recorded a 7.57 ERA with career-worst walk and home run rates (5.05 BB/9, 2.02 HR/9) over 35 2/3 innings.
  • Athletics third baseman Matt Chapman, on the 10-day DL since June 15, won’t come back when first eligible, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reports. Chapman landed on the shelf with a right thumb injury, though team doctors now believe the problem area is just above his wrist, according to Slusser. He may need a cortisone shot as a result, and might not return until the A’s next homestand (June 29 to July 4). Meanwhile, the A’s are set to activate reliever Ryan Buchter from the 10-day DL on Monday, Slusser adds. The offseason trade acquisition has been dealing with a left shoulder strain and hasn’t pitched for the A’s since April 25.
  • The Brewers will likely go without reliever Matt Albers until after the All-Star break, manager Craig Counsell told Todd Rosiak of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel and other reporters Sunday. Albers is “going in the right direction,” though, Counsell noted. The 35-year-old has been out for just under two weeks with right shoulder soreness. Albers, whom the Brewers signed to a two-year, $5MM guarantee over the winter, has pitched to a 3.53 ERA with 7.85 K/9, 2.2 BB/9 and a 45.7 percent groundball rate in 28 2/3 innings.
  • The Pirates have sent reliever Michael Feliz to the 10-day DL with right shoulder inflammation and recalled righty Clay Holmes from Triple-A Indianapolis, the team announced. The hard-throwing Feliz has endured a rough season in his first year with the Pirates, who acquired him from Astros as part of the teams’ Gerrit Cole trade over the winter. Feliz ranks second among Pirates relievers in innings pitched (32 2/3) and has struck out 10.74 hitters per nine, but a high walk rate (4.41 BB/9) and a low grounder percentage (30.7) have helped lead to a 5.51 ERA.

      It’s pretty remarkable how he has a respectable ERA despite all those walks.

          Base the season on one start. Using your logic stuck a fork in Darvish and the Cubs season after this weekend.

          What happens to that fork when they make the playoffs and the Cards are at home in October Themed?

    Cards never ever tanked on purpose like the cubs did for 5 years in a row. Disgusting way to run an organization. Should have been banned from baseball to compete like that!

    I’m going to go out on a limb as a die hard Cubs fan that after the sweep the Cubs will either slowly drift away until the trade deadline and maybe make a trade that turns it around or they will just slowly keep drifting away. One other things that can possibly happen is they go on an absolute tear. What’s killing them is thier bullpen injuries and they aren’t looking to great right now

    I am literally rolling on the floor at the Cub negativity

    You do realize this is a 3 time defending NLCS participant team.

    Started slow granted. Still well over .500 and few have performed to their capabilities.

    They will win the division easily then anything can happen (and usually does) in the playoffs.

      My God. This is why I hate new Cubs fans. Not the die hard fans who have been with this team before Theo took over but the new ones who think this team can do no wrong and they have a HOFer at every position. But keep rolling on the floor. Maybe you’ll pick up some objective thinking while you’re cleaning the floor.

        I hate those Cub fans too. I watch pretty much every game by them either live or on mlb at bat, I also watch the Brewers as much as possible. This team is playing far better than the 2 games they are up on the Cubs. Bryant is scuffling Rizzo isn’t himself, Hendricks is inconsistent Quintana is a joke as well as chatwood. There are some guys carrying the team. It will be nowhere near enough to take the division barring a drastic turnaround from everyone. Which could still happen.

      He’s a Cardinals fan that only shows up in cubs threads. He’s consistent if anything,rarely accurate though.

        Please state which one of my facts that is not accurate. Did the cubs win more than the one measly World Series in the last 110 years?
