MASH Report (8/18/14)

by
August 18, 2014

The MASH Report is little low on content today and the same will be true for Thursday. I will release a full PAIN and HURT reports on Friday when I get some extra time (kids are finally back in school).

• Gerrit Cole is expected to come off the DL on Wednesday.

• Yonder Alonso is done for the season, he is droppable in all redraft leagues.

• So are the Brewers Jim Henderson (link) and Tyler Thornburg.

• Joey Votto was placed on the 60-day DL, so the earliest he can possibly return to play is September 4th.

• It looks like David Wright (link) and Matt Holliday (link) will grind through the rest of the season with some nagging injuries.

• In deep keeper news, the Royals Kyle Zimmer is back and throwing hard.

Fastball Velocity Watch for Pitchers Returning From the DL

• Mike Morin’s aveage fastball velocity looks fine.

• Ricky Nolasco’s velocity was up about 1 mph over his 3-year-average.

• Henderson Alvarez’s is a little on the low side.

Players on the DL

(*) 15 Day Disabled List
(**) 60 Day Disabled List
(***) 7 Day Concussion List
(****) Free Agent
Red colored entries are updates since last report.

Do you think Bailey will return this season?

There is probably a chance. I dug a little further and found this:

An MRI exam on Wednesday revealed the injury. Bailey did not travel to Denver with the club and remains in Cincinnati.

“It certainly means there will be a week of no throwing and then we’ll reassess,” Price said. “He’ll start to play catch. How quickly he bounces back will directly correlate with how quickly we get him back.”

Sounds like more information is coming on Wednesday.
