Good ‘morrow all!
Welcome to Razzball Ambulance Chasers, your fantasy baseball damage evaluation.
Additionally, welcome to the second half of the 2023 MLB season and people pesky canine days of summer time…or as I name it “Curtains Time”! The entire incoming 60-day IL entries transfer into the “See ya subsequent 12 months!” territory.
Josh Donaldson has kicked off the start of the potential curtains crowd. Moreover, there are just a few recurring accidents rearing their heads this week for Brandon Crawford, Cedric Mullins, and Tommy Pham.
Let’s bounce into the soiled particulars:
Brandon Crawford (SS, SFG)
Crawford is on the IL once more with knee irritation, which is a recurring difficulty. Nonetheless, his stint must be transient. That is excellent news since Thairo Estrada can be on the IL with a fractured left hand.
Gabe Kepler shared that Casey Schmitt and Brett Correctly had been major choices to interchange Crawford. David Villar was additionally known as up for insurance coverage. From a stats perspective, none of these gamers would essentially profit your roster.
The Diamondback Geraldo Perdomo is value having a look at for SS. Perdomo had type of a slumpy month however has hit .313/.444/.375 in his final 16 AB.

Josh Donaldson (3B, NYY)
Josh Donaldson has been added to the 60-day IL for a excessive grade 2 or grade 3 strained calf. I’m not what you’ll think about a “math particular person”, however I’ve used my Casio to grasp that we might not see Josh D. in motion for the remainder of 2023. It’s most likely for the very best as Donaldson has hit .142/.225/.434 in 106 ABs this season.
I’m not certain that you’d have Donaldson at this level, however simply in case, Jeimer Candelario continues to be solely 69% rostered and, in comparison with Donaldson, an improve.

Jarred Kelenic (OF, SEA)
In an fascinating Darwin-esque damage, Kelenic fractured his foot kicking a water cooler after he struck out on a breaking ball. No timeline has been shared for Kelenic’s restoration. Nonetheless, Dr. Google says it takes 6-8 weeks for a foot fracture to heal although that is dependent upon the severity and kind of fracture.
Kelenic’s absence made area for Cade Marlowe to make his MLB debut.
Whereas Marlowe is value a watch, Chas McCormick is a bit more skilled and sizzling proper now. McCormick seems to have made adjustments to his batting stance which have helped propel his offensive streak. In his final 69 ABs, McCormick hit .348/.444/.667 and 6 HR (with 4 of these being within the final week).
R man simply went on a 17-game hit streak and 23-game on base streak…sounds large league able to us.

Starling Marte (OF, NYM)
Marte was positioned on the IL on Thursday due to migraines. His efficiency this season is, thus far, his worst on report: .254/.308/.332 with 5 HR in 331 PA. So, a break may very well be good.
Luis Guillorme got here in for Marte. Nonetheless, due to Marte and Tommy Pham’s accidents, the Mets are attempting Guillorme at 2B with Jeff McNeil shifted to proper discipline and Mark Canha shifted to left discipline.
Nonetheless, you most likely should not going to need Guillorme on your roster. Edouard Julien, the Minnesota rookie, is presenting a compelling case. In his final 22 PA, he slashed .632/.682/1.000 with 2 HR. If we zoom out to the final month, Julien slashed .388/.446/.687 with 5 HR.
Steamer reveals Julien at solely 65%. So, now’s your probability.
Edouard Julien is scorching for the @Twins ??

Cedric Mullins (OF, BAL)
Cedric Mullins hits the IL once more with a strained groin. On the time of publication, there was no timeline for his return.
This was the identical damage Mullins sustained in late Could and stored him out of the sport for nearly a month. So, you’ll be able to anticipate an identical timeline relying on how unhealthy the pressure is and/or the explanation for recurrence.
Mullins’ damage provides Aaron Hicks extra time within the outfield. Hicks will probably be taking part in in heart discipline, which is what he did when Mullins was injured the primary time. Hicks is hitting .304/.333/.348 with a BABIP of 0.438. in his final 24 PA. When Hicks joined the Orioles a month and a half in the past, he confirmed indicators of life that now we have not seen shortly. Whereas he has had some ups and downs during the last month, he’s nonetheless a worthy look.
Colton Cowser, who made his MLB debut two weeks in the past, can even have some taking part in time in heart discipline. Though Cowser has made a splash with just a few hits (like Thursdays sac fly towards the Rays that put the Orioles solidly in first within the AL East), he nonetheless has some work to do on the plate.
Colton Cowser made his MLB debut on July 5. Right here’s the duality of his MLB profession thus far:
.111 AVG, 0 XBH
(worst on workforce since debut)19.4 BB%
(finest on workforce since debut)

Mullins’ damage might also imply the Orioles will make a commerce or different strikes earlier than the deadline.
Tommy Pham (OF, NYM)
Becoming a member of Mullins in Groin Land is Tommy Pham. Pham was injured throughout a recreation on Thursday. He was changed by Mark Canha.
Like Mullins, Pham has additionally been coping with cussed groin points. Fortunately, Pham had an MRI that confirmed no new injury to his wound. Buck Showalter introduced Pham will probably be DTD at most (together with yesterday’s recreation).
No have to make a giant transfer proper now in case you have Pham.
