Maikel Garcia Could Resume Rehab Assignment on Wednesday
Kansas City Royals third baseman Maikel Garcia (hand) could resume his rehab assignment with Triple-A Omaha as early as Wednesday, according to Pete Grathoff. Garcia was scheduled to do fielding drills ahead of Sunday's game against the Chicago Cubs. If everything continues to go well, Garcia could be back in action as early as Wednesday. He was previously pulled off his rehab assignment due to renewed soreness in his left hand. Nick Loftin has been serving as the primary third baseman while Garcia has been sidelined. He'll return to a reserve role once Garcia is back, which is hopefully in the coming weeks.

Cooper Pratt Goes to Injured List with Hamtring Injury
Milwaukee Brewers infielder Cooper Pratt (hamstring) was placed on the 10-day Injured List on Sunday, according to Hunter Baumgardt. Pratt experienced hamstring discomfort during Saturday's contest. The team was hopeful this was a day-to-day issue, but instead, Pratt landed on the shelf due to a right hamstring strain. The Brewers could be limited at shortstop with Joey Ortiz (neck) considered day-to-day right now. David Hamilton is drawing the start at shortstop on Sunday. He figures to see increased time over there, along with Ortiz once he's healthy. Pratt is set to undergo an MRI on Sunday, so fantasy managers should get a better idea about his timetable after that.

Griffin Jax Lands on 15-Day Injured List
Tampa Bay Rays starting pitcher Griffin Jax (elbow) was placed on the 15-day Injured List on Sunday, according to Ryan Bass. Jax was scratched from his scheduled start against the Seattle Mariners on Saturday. A day later, Jax heads to the shelf due to right elbow discomfort. He'll be eligible to return on August 21, but his exact timetable to return is unclear at the moment. In a corresponding move, right-hander Michael Grove was recalled from Triple-A Durham. It's uncertain at the moment who is going to replace Jax in the starting rotation. Fantasy managers should check back for a better timetable on Jax in the coming days.

Joe Musgrove Making Another Rehab Start on Sunday
San Diego Padres starting pitcher Joe Musgrove (elbow) is scheduled to make a minor league rehab start with Triple-A El Paso on Sunday, according to Sammy Levitt. Musgrove continues to work his way back from Tommy John surgery. His last rehab start was with Single-A Lake Elsinore on Tuesday. He might need one or two more starts before he's finally ready to make an impact in the Padres rotation. Fantasy managers should see Musgrove making his season debut in late August. Fantasy managers in need of pitching help down the stretch of the season should consider stashing Musgrove.
