Los Angeles Dodgers starting pitcher/designated hitter Shohei Ohtani (elbow) has begun throwing from 60 feet and is slowly increasing his velocity. Ohtani underwent elbow surgery on his throwing arm in November after suffering a UCL tear late last season. The 29-year-old has been throwing for the majority of the season but recently began throwing from 60 feet this week and increased his velocity to around 80 mph. On the bump last season, Ohtani posted a 3.14 ERA, 1.06 WHIP, and a 55:167 BB:K. The two-way sensation will not take the mound at all this season and will continue to serve as the everyday designated hitter in Los Angeles. Ohtani remains a top-five fantasy option in all formats, as he will always be found batting second in a potent Dodgers lineup and is currently riding an incredible .326/.395/.604 slash line with 14 home runs and 14 stolen bases through 57 games.

Los Angeles Dodgers third baseman Max Muncy (oblique) felt a twinge in his rib cage while swinging a bat last week and has been shut down from all baseball activities. The 33-year-old is still without a timeline to return. Muncy has been sidelined since May 17 and it does not appear that he will be returning any time soon. Enrique Hernandez will likely continue to see most of the reps at third base with Chris Taylor and Miguel Rojas occasionally filling in. Muncy is still worthy of a stash spot in the majority of formats due to his serious power, but any other setbacks would start to hamper the veteran slugger's value.

Baltimore Orioles infielder Jorge Mateo (head) left Sunday's game in the fourth inning after he was struck in the head by teammate Cedric Mullins' bat in the on-deck circle. Ramon Urias pinch-hit for him as he exited the field with the training staff. It is unclear at this point what the injury actually is, but more info should come out after the game, and Mateo is likely to be put through the concussion protocols. Mateo is slashing .246/.294/.447 with three home runs, 13 RBI and 10 stolen bases this season. Urias is the likely option to replace Mateo at second base, although there is a slight chance top prospect Jackson Holliday could return to the majors if Mateo is out for an extended period.

Philadelphia Phillies catcher J.T. Realmuto is not in the starting lineup for Sunday's game against the St. Louis Cardinals. It appears to be a regular rest day for the 33-year-old. Garrett Stubbs will handle catching duties in his absence and bat eighth. Stubbs is an unappealing fantasy option in all formats as evidenced by his .170/.250/.170 slash line this season. Realmuto should be back behind the plate in Monday's contest against the Milwaukee Brewers.

St. Louis Cardinals utility man Brendan Donovan (neck) is not in the team's starting lineup for Sunday's game against the Philadelphia Phillies. Donovan has missed the previous two games due to stiffness in his neck. Alec Burleson will start in left field and bat second for the Cardinals while Matt Carpenter will serve as the designated hitter and bat sixth. Donovan is considered day-to-day for now and will have a chance to return for Monday's game against the Houston Astros.
