Boston Red Sox shortstop Trevor Story (groin) is "seeking additional opinions about whether he needs surgery to fix his sports hernia," according to Tim Healey of The Boston Globe. If it's confirmed that he'll require hernia surgery, he'd likely miss six to 10 weeks. That's a crushing blow for the veteran infielder, who was placed on the injured list Saturday. He has now dealt with five major injured list stints since the Red Sox signed him back in 2022. Story was off to a pretty poor start at the plate this season, slashing just .206/.244/.303 with 47 wRC+ and a whopping 32.4% strikeout rate. Very few managers were relying on him in fantasy baseball, so his absence won't have enormous lineup impacts. In the meantime, we expect to see a mix of Isiah Kiner-Falefa and Andruw Monasterio at shortstop. Marcelo Mayer and Nick Sogard could also compete to play more games at short.

New York Mets starting pitcher Clay Holmes (right fibula) is expected to miss around three months after being placed on the injured list Saturday, according to Jorge Castillo of ESPN.com. Holmes suffered a right fibula fracture, and manager Carlos Mendoza explained that the starter can't even begin ramping back up for another six to eight weeks. The manager noted that Holmes will essentially have a spring training buildup once he's ready. Losing Holmes is a crushing blow for the Mets, as he had been off to a 4-4 start with a 3.21 FIP, 7.69 K/9, 3.08 BB/9, and a 56% ground ball rate. His average velocity has also been up to 94.8 mph, which is his highest mark since transitioning from the bullpen to the rotation. As it stands, Holmes is the #74 starter in RotoBaller's latest fantasy baseball rankings.

Los Angeles Dodgers starting pitcher Blake Snell (elbow) will undergo surgery on Tuesday to remove loose bodies in his elbow, according to Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic. Manager Dave Roberts said that he didn't know the specific surgery and whether it's the same one that Tigers ace Tarik Skubal (elbow) recently had. Regardless of which surgery it is, we can assume Snell will miss a significant amount of time. He has already been placed on the 15-day injured list, just days after making a delayed season debut due to a shoulder injury. The bad injury luck just keeps coming for Snell, but if there's any team that can weather the storm, it's the Dodgers. Even without Snell, they have a star-studded starting rotation of Yoshinobu Yamamoto, Shohei Ohtani, Emmet Sheehan, Justin Wrobleski, and Roki Sasaki.

San Francisco Giants left-handed reliever Erik Miller (back) was reinstated from the 15-day injured list on Saturday. He returned from his rehab assignment and is officially back on the major league roster. He'll be welcomed back with open arms, as he had posted a stellar 1.69 FIP with 13.50 K/9, 4.76 BB/9, 0.00 HR/9, and a 56% ground ball rate prior to his injury. He also projects to be in the mix for the closer role. The Giants have used a committee approach to identify their closer this year, but it's worth noting that Miller had two saves before landing on the IL. We expect to see Miller start to handle some of the high-leverage opportunities that previously belonged to Caleb Kilian (two saves) and Keaton Winn (zero saves).
