Last week: September 6-11

 

September 18, 2017

Lance McCullers (RHP, HOU) – R Arm fatigue (9/13/17)
He’s getting closer to return, but we’re probably looking at another week or so before he’s ready for game action. He’ll likely be handled with kid gloves until the playoffs, so he will probably have little value the rest of the way.
Est. Return: Maybe September 23-25

Brandon McCarthy (RHP, LA) – R Hand, blister (7/21/17) UPDATE

Est. Return: September 22-24

Mike Napoli (1B, TEX) – R Leg, soreness (9/12/17)
