Milwaukee Brewers left-hander DL Hall (knee) was placed on the 15-day injured list with a left knee sprain on Sunday afternoon. Hall reportedly suffered the injury while fielding a bunt against the St. Louis Cardinals on Saturday. The 25-year-old came into the season with some hype after pitching well as a reliever in 2023. Unfortunately, the results have not been good for the former top prospect as he owns a 7.71 ERA, 2.27 WHIP and 13/10 K/BB through four starts this season. It is currently unclear how the Brewers plan to fill Hall's spot rotation, but Bryse Wilson and Robert Gasser are both in consideration.



Los Angeles Angels third baseman Anthony Rendon (hamstring) was placed on the 10-day injured list on Sunday afternoon. The veteran infielder exited Saturday's game early after straining his hamstring while running out a single. It is unfortunate timing for the 33-year-old as he was just rediscovering his consistency at the plate. Ehire Adrianza was recalled from Triple-A Salt Lake as a corresponding move, but it is more likely that Luis Rengifo and Miguel Sano see the majority of playing time at the hot corner. Rengifo is worth an add in any deeper leagues where he is available due to his multi-position eligibility and stolen base upside.


Chicago Cubs outfielder Ian Happ (hamstring) is not in the starting lineup for Sunday's game against the Miami Marlins. Happ was removed from Friday's game in the seventh inning due to left hamstring tightness. He also did not play on Saturday. Happ is reportedly available to pinch hit today if necessary and is hopeful he will return soon. Fantasy managers can consider Happ day-to-day for now and should check to see if he draws back into the lineup for Tuesday's series opener against the Houston Astros. In his absence, Alexander Canario will start in left field and bat ninth on Sunday. Canario is not a recommended option in any fantasy format.


Cincinnati Reds outfielder Jake Fraley (illness) is not in the starting lineup for Sunday's game against the Los Angeles Angels. Reds second baseman Jonathan India is also sick and out of the lineup. Both players should be considered day-to-day while they recover. Nick Martini will start in right field and bat cleanup in Fraley's absence while Santiago Espinal starts at second base and bats eighth. Martini offers modest DFS appeal for Sunday's slate due to his lineup placement and 13 RBI so far this season.


Houston Astros starting pitcher Cristian Javier (neck) was scratched from Sunday's start earlier in the day and now will be placed on the 15-day injured list. The move to the injured list was made to "give him time," according to manager Joe Espada. It is unclear when this problem arose for Javier and hopefully it is not a long-term issue. The 27-year-old has been a bright spot for a battered Astros rotation to start the season. He has gone 2-0 with a 1.54 ERA, 1.11 WHIP and 18/11 K/BB across his first four starts. More information about the injury will surely come out over the next few days. Javier should obviously be stashed in all fantasy formats while he is sidelined.
