Ronel Blanco underwent Tommy John surgery with an internal brace procedure on Friday.
Blanco’s surgery also included a repair of the flexor tendon in his right forearm. The 31-year-old righty is facing a long road back. Fantasy managers shouldn’t anticipate him returning until the late stages of the 2026 season, even in a best-case scenario.
Denzel Clarke is day-to-day with a left shoulder contusion.
Clarke somehow managed to avoid serious injury when he collided with the left-center field wall to make a brilliant catch during Friday’s contest against the Orioles. It wouldn’t be surprising to see the 25-year-old rookie get a break this weekend to rest and recover, but he seemed upbeat and optimistic that he wouldn’t need much time off while speaking to reporters after his early exit from the game. Fantasy managers should consider him day-to-day for now.
Phillies INF José RodrÃguez has elected free agency.
RodrÃguez lost his spot on Philadelphia’s 40-man roster earlier this week when his one-year suspension for violating the league’s gambling policy wrapped up. He’ll likely wind up latching on somewhere else as organizational depth.
Diamondbacks designated RHP Scott McGough for assignment.
McGough was removed from Arizona’s 40-man roster earlier this week after Andrew Saalfrank’s one-year suspension for violating the league’s gambling policy concluded. The 35-year-old righty figures to pass through waivers unclaimed and remain with the club as extra relief depth.
Diamondbacks activated LHP Andrew Saalfrank from the restricted list; optioned him to Triple-A Reno.
Saalfrank returned earlier this week on Thursday from a one-year suspension for violating the league’s gambling policy. The 27-year-old southpaw will remain with the organization as extra relief depth.
X-rays came back negative for any fractures in Gabriel Moreno’s right hand.
It’s a positive development for the Diamondbacks as losing Moreno for an extended period would’ve put some strain on their catching situation. Arizona manager Torey Lovullo told reporters postgame that Moreno’s removal was for precautionary reasons due to swelling that occurred after he was struck by a wild pitch in his throwing hand. Fantasy managers should consider him day-to-day for now.
