Rosario sustained the injury as he ran into a table at the team hotel. Nationals’ manager Dave Martinez called it a “pretty good laceration”. That explains why the 29-year-old infielder is not out there for the Nationals’ series opener against the Orioles on Friday night. He’s considered day-to-day and should return to action before the weekend is through.

The 26-year-old second baseman has been sidelined since May 8 due to a strained right quad. He has been increasing baseball activity in recent days though and running at full speed will be the last hurdle that he needs to clear before he’s able to return to game action. It’s unclear if he’ll require a minor league rehab assignment or not before returning to the Blue Jays.

Bader was pulled from the second game of Wednesday’s doubleheader against the Orioles due to tightness in his groin. He then sat out Thursday’s ballgame as a precautionary measure. He’s still considered day-to-day and should rejoin the Twins’ lineup before their weekend series is through.

It’s unclear if the absence is related to the bruised shoulder that caused him to miss time earlier in the week or if they’re just easing him back into action. Jonatan Clase will draw a rare start in left field and will bat ninth against Tigers’ right-hander Jack Flaherty on Friday evening.

The oft-injured outfielder felt the issue crop up in the batting cages a couple of days ago. He’s considered day-to-day for the time being, but given his extensive injury history it wouldn’t be surprising if it ultimately led to a trip to the injured list. Ryan O’Hearn will cover right field in his absence on Friday evening against Mitchell Parker and the Nationals.
