R. Tellez - 1B

TOR

Blue Jays manager Charlie Montoyo suggested Monday that Rowdy Tellez (knee) could be ready for the team's Wild Card Series matchup against the Rays.

Tellez missed the Blue Jays' final 17 regular-season games because of a right knee strain, but he took full cuts in a live batting practice session on Sunday and could provide the club with a big boost at DH -- or even just as a bench bat -- if he is physically up for the task. There will be a decision coming Tuesday.

D. Vogelbach - DH

MIL

Brewers manager Craig Counsell said the team is still assessing Daniel Vogelbach's right leg injury.

Vogelbach tweaked something while running out a grounder in the ninth inning of Sunday's regular-season finale against the Cardinals. The hope is that he will be able to DH in Wednesday night's Wild Card Series opener versus the Dodgers and right-hander Walker Buehler, but it's up in the air at the moment. The left-handed-hitting Vogelbach proved to be a tremendous early-September waiver claim for the Brewers, slashing .328/.418/.569 with four home runs and 12 RBI in 19 games down the stretch.

J. James - RP

HOU

Josh James (undisclosed) will be available for the Astros' Wild Card Series matchup with the Twins, per manager Dusty Baker.

James was placed on the injured list Friday for undisclosed reasons, but everything is apparently cleared up now and he should be in the Astros' bullpen for Game 1 on Tuesday afternoon in Minnesota despite all of his issues with command during the regular season. The talented 27-year-old right-hander finished with a rough 7.27 ERA, 1.85 WHIP, and 21/17 K/BB ratio in 17 1/3 innings.

M. Maldonado - C

HOU

Martin Maldonado (knee) said he's healthy leading into the Astros' best-of-three Wild Card Series against the Twins.

Maldonado sat out the final two days of the regular season after feeling something in the back of his knee on Friday, but it's obviously not overly serious. The 34-year-old should be behind the plate for Houston on Tuesday, coming off maybe the strongest offensive regular season of his 10-year major league career.

E. Jiménez - LF

CWS

Eloy Jimenez (foot) ran on the field Monday and later told reporters that he feels "much better."

Jimenez acknowledged that he "couldn't even walk" after suffering a mid-foot sprain on Thursday, which led to him missing the final weekend of the regular season, but he seems like a possible DH option for the White Sox in Game 1 of their Wild Card Series matchup against the Athletics. There are some interesting decisions looming for manager Rick Renteria. Oakland is throwing left-hander Jesus Luzardo on Tuesday.

A. Wainwright - SP

STL

Adam Wainwright is lined up to start Game 2 of the Wild Card Series against the Padres.

Kwang-Hyun Kim will handle Game 1 on Wednesday in San Diego and Jack Flaherty will be held out for a potential Game 3. Cardinals manager Mike Shildt indicated Monday on MLB Network that Flaherty would work Game 2, but Wainwright was the better pitcher during the regular season, finishing with a 3.15 ERA, 1.05 WHIP, and 54/15 K/BB ratio in 10 starts covering 65 2/3 innings. Flaherty had a 4.91 ERA in 40 1/3 frames.

J. Pazos - RP

Rockies designated LHP James Pazos for assignment.

It's an end-of-season paperwork move for the Rockies, who missed the playoffs with a final record of 26-34. Pazos, 29, gave up 10 earned runs on 10 hits and five walks in just 5 1/3 innings of relief this year.

T. Murphy - C

SEA

Mariners GM Jerry Dipoto noted Monday that Tom Murphy's broken left foot is not yet fully healed.

Murphy suffered the fracture back in summer camp and wound up missing all of the condensed 2020 season. One would think that he will be fully healthy leading into the start of spring training next February, but it's odd that he hasn't made much progress thus far. The 29-year-old catcher carried some fantasy hype before the injury after registering an .858 OPS with 18 home runs over 75 games for Seattle in 2019.
