Fri Mar 114:56Yu Chang To Miss 6-8 Weeks
Tampa Bay Rays infielder Yu Chang (oblique) is set to miss the next six to eight weeks as the injury is more severe than originally thought, according to skipper Kevin Cash. Chang's spring was off to a nice start as he homered on Sunday versus the Detroit Tigers but his chances at Opening Day are now zero. The 28-year-old spent the 2023 season with the Boston Red Sox but struggled mightily at the plate, hitting just .162 with six home runs, four stolen bases, and a .532 OPS across 112 plate appearances, production that graded out 61% below the league average, as per his 39 wRC+. A veteran of 235 MLB contests in parts of four seasons, Chang is a career .204 hitter with 20 home runs, five steals, and a .624 OPS across 650 trips to the plate.

Wed Feb 2817:19Yu Chang To Miss A Couple Of Weeks
Tampa Bay Rays infielder Yu Chang (oblique) is dealing with a left-oblique injury in camp and is expected to miss a couple of weeks. The 28-year-old Taiwanese infielder suffered the injury during Wednesday's Grapefruit League game versus the Toronto Blue Jays and is now likely to open the 2024 regular season on the injured list. When he's healthy enough to return, Chang will now likely make his season debut in the minors with Triple-A Durham. He's expected to fill a reserve role for the Rays this year if he's in the big leagues. Chang went 17-for-105 (.162) with six home runs, 18 RBI and four stolen bases in 39 games for the Boston Red Sox in 2023 and has a weak .204/.265/.359 career slash line with 20 homers and 79 RBI in 235 games in his five major-league seasons.

Sat Oct 14 202313:45Yu Chang Has Elected Free Agency
Former Boston Red Sox infielder Yu Chang has elected free agency. The 28-year-old was designated for assignment back on August 8 and then outrighted to Triple-A Worcester on August 11. Chang dealt with a ton of injuries this season with the Red Sox, putting up a lackluster .162/.200/.352 batting line with six home runs, 18 RBI, four stolen bases, and 12 runs scored over just 105 at-bats (39 games). He will try and get a spring training invite with another club this offseason.

Sat Jul 15 202312:09Yu Chang On The Bench Saturday
Boston Red Sox infielder Yu Chang will start Saturday's contest against the Chicago Cubs on the bench. Chang opened the second half of the season on Friday at shortstop, but he'll head to the bench for this one. Enrique Hernandez will handle the 6 on Saturday and will hit in the nine-hole against Cubs right-hander Marcus Stroman. The 27-year-old Chang recently returned from hamate surgery on his hand just before the All-Star break, and he'll likely continue to work as infield depth for the Red Sox. He could lose out on even more playing time once Trevor Story (elbow) makes his 2023 debut. In just 21 games so far in 2023, Chang is hitting a lowly .145 (8-for-55) with four home runs, 11 RBI and seven runs scored.

Sat Jul 8 202315:21Yu Chang Taking Saturday Off
Boston Red Sox infielder Yu Chang (wrist, hand) won't play on Saturday. Skipper Alex Cora stated the 27-year-old would suit up for two of the three games versus the A's, so it appears he's in line to return for the series finale on Sunday. Chang recently returned from a lengthy stint on the injured list because of surgery on his hamate bone, so it's certainly understandable for the team to bring him back slowly. But in the meantime, Enrique Hernandez, who is 1-for-1 with a double lifetime against Oakland pitcher Austin Pruitt, will handle things at short while Christian Arroyo will take over at the keystone.

Thu Jul 6 202317:23Yu Chang Likely To Be Activated This Weekend
Boston Red Sox manager Alex Cora said that infielder Yu Chang (wrist) is likely to be activated from the 60-day injured list this weekend. Chang is attempting to return from surgery on the hamate bone in his hand/wrist, and he's gone 3-for-16 with two runs scored in four games since restarting a minor-league rehab assignment. The 27-year-old is going to be Boston's regular shortstop when he returns, but only until Trevor Story (elbow) is ready to make his 2023 debut. Chang played in only 17 games earlier this year before getting hurt, and he hit .136 (6-for-44) with three home runs, eight RBI and five runs scored in 47 plate appearances.

Wed Jul 5 202308:48Yu Chang Nearing A Return
Boston Red Sox infielder Yu Chang (wrist) could be activated from the injured list in the coming days, according to MLB.com. The 27-year-old has played just 17 games this season before hitting the IL in late April with a broken hamate bone in his left wrist. Chang hit just .136 before the ailment and owns a career .206 average and .629 OPS with two steals across five seasons. However, manager Alex Cora assured reporters that the native of Taiwan will be the clubs starting shortstop upon his return. That will displace David Hamilton, who's had the majority of reps at short recently, but he's slashing just .120/.241/.160 across 11 contests.

Fri Jun 9 202322:45Yu Chang Expected Back From Injured List Monday
Boston Red Sox infielder Yu Chang (wrist) is anticipated to be activated from the 10-day injured list on Monday. The 27-year-old has been out since the end of April with a left wrist injury and had suffered a setback during rehab. That said, Chang has hit only .136 with eight RBI and three homers in 2023, so there aren't many fantasy managers anxiously awaiting his return.

Sun May 28 202300:08Yu Chang Pauses Rehab Assignment
Boston Red Sox infielder Yu Chang (wrist) felt pain in his hand during a AA game on Friday evening. The 27-year-old has since returned to Boston, where he will undergo further treatment. However, he plans to resume his rehab assignment next week. While the setback isn't anything serious, it won't matter much, considering Chang isn't on many fantasy rosters after beginning the season with a miserable .136 average.

Sun May 14 202301:28Yu Chang Hits Off A Tee On Saturday
Boston Red Sox infielder Yu Chang (wrist) hit off a tee on Saturday. The 27-year-old is progressing after undergoing surgery a few weeks ago to remove the hamate bone from his left wrist. While he still has a way to go, he's at least moving in the right direction toward a return. Chang struggled before going down with the injury, hitting .136 (6-for-44) with three home runs, eight RBI, and one stolen base. In the meantime, Enrique Hernandez should continue handling things at short.

Fri Apr 28 202314:29Yu Chang Has Surgery, Expected To Miss Six Weeks
Boston Red Sox infielder Yu Chang (hand) had successful surgery on Thursday to remove the hamate bone from his left hand/wrist and is expected to miss around six weeks of action. Chang was injured on Monday and will now miss around the next two months for the Red Sox. Before the injury, the 27-year-old infielder hit just .136 (6-for-44) with three home runs, eight RBI, one stolen base and five runs scored in 17 games for Boston. With Chang out for the foreseeable future, Enrique Hernandez should continue to serve as the team's primary shortstop, with Christian Arroyo making most of the starts at the keystone.

Chang left in the middle of an at-bat during the seventh inning after going 0-for-3 in the 5-4 loss to Baltimore. The veteran infielder appeared to be in obvious discomfort but there is no word yet as to exactly what happened. Look for Boston to update Chang's status in the near future.

Thu Apr 20 202312:45Yu Chang Reinstated From Paternity List
The Boston Red Sox reinstated infielder Yu Chang from the paternity list on Thursday and optioned infielder Enmanuel Valdez back to Triple-A Worcester in a corresponding move. Chang was only away from the team for one day. The 27-year-old is back at shortstop and is hitting ninth on Thursday against the Minnesota Twins and right-hander Kenta Maeda with Christian Arroyo (hamstring) still out of action. Fantasy managers should look elsewhere for their DFS lineups, as Chang is hitting a lowly .077 (2-for-26) with a home run, four RBI and two runs scored in his first 12 games of the 2023 season.

Mon Mar 20 202312:31Yu Chang Held Up By Visa Issues
Boston Red Sox infielder Yu Chang won't be back with the team in spring camp until Thursday due to visa issues. He will have six days to make the team once he's back, as he's competing with Bobby Dalbec for the final infield spot on the bench to open up the 2023 regular season. The 27-year-old played for Chinese Taipei in the World Baseball Classic and went 7-for-16 with four extra-base hits and eight RBI on his way to being named MVP for Pool A. He spent time with the Guardians, Pirates, Rays and Red Sox in 2022 and hit a combined .208/.289/.315 with four home runs, 15 RBI and 19 runs scored in 69 games. If he makes Boston's Opening Day roster, Chang will be a bench bat for the BoSox.

Mon Sep 12 202214:40Red Sox Claim Yu Chang Off Waivers
The Boston Red Sox claimed infielder Yu Chang off waivers on Monday. The 27-year-old was previously with the Tampa Bay Rays and has played for two other teams this season, hitting .216 with a .280 on-base percentage and four home runs in 164 total plate appearances. With experience at all four infield positions, he'll give the Red Sox some additional infield depth after the likes of Triston Casas, Trevor Story, Xander Bogaerts, and Rafael Devers. Boston also designated outfielder Jaylin Davis for assignment.

Fri Jul 8 202214:34Yu Chang Added To Rays Roster On Friday
The Tampa Bay Rays have added infielder Yu Chang to the active roster ahead of the weekend series against the Cincinnati Reds. The 26-year-old was claimed off waivers from the Pittsburgh Pirates earlier this week. He also spent time with the Cleveland Guardians to begin the 2022 season. The results haven't been there for Chang, who's slashing .135/.237/.212 with one home run over 22 games. He'll be a bench bat for the Rays, assuming he sticks with the team, so the news has no effect on fantasy leagues.

Mon May 30 202211:43Pirates Acquire Yu Chang From Guardians
The Pittsburgh Pirates acquired infielder Yu Chang from the Cleveland Guardians on Sunday in exchange for cash, according to sources. The Guardians designated Chang for assignment last Thursday. Chang doesn't have any minor league options remaining, so there's a decent chance he'll stick on Pittsburgh's MLB roster. The 26-year-old can play all over the infield and will give the Pirates more depth. In parts of four major league seasons for Cleveland, he's hit just .208/.265/.372 with 10 home runs, 46 RBI, 41 runs scored and one stolen base in 358 plate appearances over 131 games. He can continue to be ignored in mixed fantasy leagues.

Fri Jul 2 202118:57Indians' Josh Naylor has surgery for leg fractures
CLEVELAND (AP) — Cleveland Indians outfielder Josh Naylor had surgery Friday for multiple leg fractures and torn ligaments sustained in a collision with a teammate during a game Sunday at Minnesota. The surgery was performed by foot and ankle specialist Dr. Mark Berkowitz at the Cleveland Clinic. Naylor is likely to miss the rest of the season. Naylor and rookie second baseman Ernie Clement ran into each other as they converged on a fly ball in short right field. Naylor’s foot got trapped underneath him after he slammed into Clement. Naylor was sent sprawling and his lower right leg was bent back awkwardly. Naylor is batting .253 with seven homers and 21 RBIs while playing right field and first base. The 24-year-old was acquired from San Diego last season. The Indians' injuries continue to mount. Third baseman José Ramírez was scratched shortly before Friday's game against Houston because of a sore left elbow. The team said he was injured diving for a ball Thursday. Ramírez also missed...

Fri Jun 18 202102:18D'backs fall again for MLB record 23rd straight road loss
SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — The Arizona Diamondbacks set a major league record with their 23rd straight road loss, making dubious history in getting trounced by the San Francisco Giants 10-3 Thursday. The dejected D-backs trudged off the field after breaking a tie with the 1963 Mets and ’43 Philadelphia Athletics for road futility. Held to just a lone single by pitcher Zac Gallen through six innings, Arizona fell behind 6-0. The Diamondbacks don’t play again on the road until June 25 at San Diego. Gallen (1-2) allowed four earned runs in 2 2/3 innings in his first start back from a sprained pitching elbow. Giants starter Kevin Gausman (8-1) limited the D-backs to two runs on four hits in eight innings. The right-hander struck out six and walked one. Curt Casali homered and drove in four runs for San Francisco, finishing a double shy of the cycle. Steven Duggar went 3 for 3 with an RBI double and Mauricio Dubón and Mike Yastrzemski drove in two runs each as the Giants improved the best record in... [More]
