Colorado Rockies outfielder Yonathan Daza (shoulder) is scheduled to undergo season-ending surgery on his left shoulder next week. He injured his shoulder during an at-bat in last Sunday's game with Triple-A Albuquerque. The 29-year-old has had the same injury to his left shoulder twice before. He will undergo the same surgery teammate Brendan Rodgers had earlier in the year. Daza slashed .270/.304/.351 with seven RBI, eight runs, and one stolen base across 80 plate appearances with the Rockies in 2023. Daza will miss the rest of the season and look to recover ahead of Spring Training in 2024.

Colorado Rockies outfielder Yonathan Daza (hand) is out of the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against the Cleveland Guardians. Daza exited early on Sunday after being hit by a pitch on the hand. Luckily, the X-rays were negative, but Daza will sit out his third straight game on Wednesday. Brenton Doyle will cover center field and bat seventh versus right-hander Tanner Bibee. The expectation is that Daza will return in a few days and won't require a trip to the injured list.

Colorado Rockies outfielder Yonathan Daza (hand) left Sunday's game early against the Philadelphia Phillies after being hit by a pitch on his left hand. X-rays came back negative, though, and manager Bud Black said Daza was considered day-to-day. "He'll be sore, but it could have been worse," Black said. "We don't know when [he will play], but he's going to be fine." It sounds as though Daza will avoid the injured list, but fantasy managers shouldn't be surprised if Daza misses a few games to start the week. The Rockies are calling up outfield prospect Brenton Doyle with both Daza and Kris Bryant getting injured over the weekend. How long Doyle stays with the big-league team will depend on how quickly both Daza and Bryant can return to Colorado's lineup.

Colorado Rockies outfielder Yonathan Daza will act as the leadoff hitter for Thursday's Opening Day against the San Diego Padres, according to MLB.com. Daza earned that role after a solid 2022 season, where he batted .301 with a .349 OBP, and he hit .311 this spring. However, he showed little power and speed, with just two home runs and no stolen bases over 113 games. Daza has the skill to continue providing batting average, but fantasy managers shouldn't count on much else from the 29-year-old, especially if he loses the role at the top of the lineup if the Rockies aren't satisfied with his talent at the plate.

Colorado Rockies outfielder Yonathan Daza had another multi-hit game after he went 2-for-4 in Wednesday's 8-4 victory against the Milwaukee Brewers. He doubled and scored twice during the contest and has back-to-back two-hit games since coming off the injured list. Daza has come out of nowhere to be a big batting average contributor, hitting .304, but hasn't shown any power or speed (two home runs, no stolen bases) across his 92 games this season or throughout his career. Fantasy managers should know what they're sacrificing if they pick up the 28-year-old from the waiver wire.

Colorado Rockies outfielder Yonathan Daza (shoulder) was forced to exit early during Thursday's game against the St. Louis Cardinals. Daza suffered a left shoulder sprain, while making a diving catch in the first inning. The Rockies decided to pull him out of the contest after he came up clutching his arm. The 28-year-old is hopeful to avoid a trip to the injured list. That will likely be determined by how Daza feels over the next few days. For now, fantasy managers can consider Daza as day-to-day, but that could change.

Colorado Rockies outfielder Yonathan Daza (shoulder) didn't last long during Thursday's game against the St. Louis Cardinals. He exited the contest after a diving catch during the first inning. Afterwards, Daza was clutching his left arm in pain, so the Rockies decided to remove him from the contest. Now, Daza has been diagnosed with a left shoulder sprain, which will probably lead to a stint on the injured list. Garrett Hampson came into the game on Thursday and could see more playing time now.

Colorado Rockies outfielder Yonathan Daza (thumb) was reinstated from the 10-day injured list on Thursday. He's been sidelined since August 16 with a left thumb laceration. Antonio Santos was optioned to Triple-A in a corresponding move. Before the injury, Daza slashed .283/.331/.360 with two home runs, 29 RBI, 25 runs scored, and two stolen bases over 298 plate appearances. The 27-year-old is starting in right field and batting seventh against the Philadelphia Phillies on Thursday. Fantasy managers should wait and see how Daza produces before inserting him into their starting lineups.

Colorado Rockies outfielder Yonathan Daza (hand) was placed on the 10-day injured list Wednesday. Pitcher Chi Chi Gonzalez was activated in a corresponding move. The severity of Daza's hand injury is unknown at this time, and he will miss at least the next 10 days. The 27-year-old was activated from the COVID-19 list two weeks ago and lost playing time to Sam Hilliard since returning. Fantasy managers can move on from Daza in most league formats if they haven't done so already. Hilliard, along with Connor Joe, should see an uptick in playing time while Daza is sidelined, and both should be rostered in deep-league formats.

Colorado Rockies outfielder Yonathan Daza appeared as a pinch-hitter in Sunday's 8-1 loss to the Padres. Daza hit the COVID-19 injured list back on July 16 and was activated prior to Sunday's contest. He struck out in his lone appearance as a pinch-hitter. The 27-year-old outfielder was having a solid season prior to hitting the IL so we'll see how he fits back into the lineup after his extended absence. He's slashing .294/.343/.380 with two home runs, 28 RBI, and two stolen bases over 245 at-bats. He plays excellent defense in center field but the Rockies outfield is looking crowded with Sam Hilliard and Connor Joe back on the team.

A look at what's happening around the majors today: SHORT STORY The first-place Mets are waiting for news on Francisco Lindor, who left Friday night's heated 4-1 loss in Pittsburgh with soreness on his right side. New York manager Luis Rojas had no further update after the game other than to say the star shortstop would be examined in the morning. Lindor winced after grounding out to second base in the fifth inning. The four-time All-Star took a few steps out of the batter’s box but then peeled off toward the Mets’ dugout on the first base side. In his first season with the Mets after being acquired from Cleveland in a January trade, Lindor is hitting .228 with 11 home runs in 88 games. He agreed to a $341 million, 10-year contract just before opening day. PITCHING A SHUTOUT Nathan Eovaldi (9-5, 3.66 ERA) and the Boston Red Sox try to improve to 8-0 against the rival New York Yankees this season when they face Gerrit Cole (9-4, 2.68) in a prime-time matchup of AL All-Stars in the Bronx....

NEW YORK (AP) — Eduardo Rodriguez shut down the short-handed Yankees into the sixth inning, Christian Arroyo and J.D. Martinez homered and the Boston Red Sox beat their rivals 4-0 on Friday night with New York missing slugger Aaron Judge and five others due to a coronavirus outbreak. A day after the series opener was postponed for testing and contact tracing, Judge, third baseman Gio Urshela and catcher Kyle Higashioka were added to the COVID-19 injured list. They joined Yankees pitchers Jonathan Loaisiga, Nestor Cortes Jr. and Wandy Peralta, who have also tested positive over the past week. New York was also without first baseman Luke Voit, who went on the injured list Friday with a bone bruise in his left knee. Rodriguez (7-5) allowed two hits over 5 2/3 innings, retiring 10 straight during one stretch and finishing with eight strikeouts. Hirokazu Sawamura got the final out of the sixth, and Tanner Houck pitched the final three innings, closing out Boston’s three-hitter for his first... [More]

WASHINGTON (AP) — Kyle Schwarber homered twice, becoming the first player in major league history to hit 15 home runs in a 17-day span, and the Washington Nationals beat the New York Mets 8-4 on Monday night. Schwarber socked a 1-0 fastball from Jared Eickhoff an estimated 439 feet into the upper deck in right field in the first inning. It was his sixth leadoff homer this season, and Trea Turner followed with a 435-foot bomb to left to make it 2-0. Schwarber took Eickhoff (0-1) deep again in the fifth inning, his 24th of the year. The Nationals have won 12 of 15 to return to .500 and move within three games of the first-place Mets in the NL East. Ryan Zimmerman had a pinch-hit a three-run homer in the eighth inning for the Nationals after New York had cut the lead to 5-4. Paolo Espino (2-2) threw five scoreless innings in a spot start. Brad Hand got five outs for his 17th save. DODGERS 3, GIANTS 2 LOS ANGELES (AP) — Mookie Betts and Max Muncy hit back-to-back home runs to begin the first... [More]

NEW YORK (AP) — The New York Yankees turned their record-tying third triple play this season to strand the go-ahead run in the ninth inning, bailing out closer Aroldis Chapman and closing down a 2-1 win over the Oakland Athletics on Sunday. Gary Sánchez spoiled Sean Manaea’s gem with a go-ahead two-run double in the sixth inning, and Jonathan Loaisiga (7-2) and Lucas Luetge turned a 2-1 lead over to Chapman. Jed Lowrie and Chad Pinder walked, and Sean Murphy grounded to Gio Urshela, who stepped on third and threw to DJ LeMahieu. The second baseman relayed the ball to first to get Murphy by a step. New York also turned a triple play Thursday in Buffalo against the Blue Jays and also had one May 21 against the Chicago White Sox. Chapman’s 16th save sent Oakland to its first road series loss this season after eight wins and a split. BLUE JAYS 7, ORIOLES 4 BALTIMORE (AP) — Reese McGuire had three doubles during a four-hit performance. Hyun Jin Ryu (6-4) gave up one run and three hits in seven... [More]
