Welcome to the First Pitch Podcast, brought to you by PitcherList.com, your daily morning podcast, updating you on everything you need to know to win your fantasy baseball league.

Let's talk about baseball.

Hello, and welcome to another edition of the First pitch podcast on pitcher list. My name is Trevor

Huth. Lots to get to. Let's jump right in. Of course, starting with the news. So amid all the

bullpen injuries for the Diamondbacks, they've signed a reliever Matt Foster to a minor league

deal. He's been pitching in Mexico. He struck out

13 badgers there in 13 and 2 thirds innings while suppressing runs in a big way. I mean,

they just might be looking for anybody who can throw in the bullpen. Justin Martinez, Christian

Mena, AJ Puck, Kendall Graveman, and Christian Montes de Oka are all hurt right now. Obviously, the news coming with Martinez yesterday, and now Montes de Oca is going to be receiving

back surgery that may keep him out the rest of the season.

So they are struggling in the area of relievers, hence the Matt Foster signing.

Fantasy relevance, don't think there's much, but things might get crazy in that Arizona bullpen.

Yankees Jake Cousins is trending towards Tommy John's surgery, not officially going to get it, but according to Aaron Boone, it's headed that way.

In other Yankees injury news, John Carlos Stanton is expected to be back this week.

I think they were looking at midweek.

It kind of depends on whatever his rehab assignment is over.

But John Carlos Stanton very close to returning.

Luis Heel, he's still pretty far away.

He's maximum 10 days away from facing hitters. I think the minimum was like six days.

So he's still got about a week until he starts facing hitters. That means he's got a while to go

because he's still got to go through a lengthy rehab assignment. So Luis Heel not going to be back

anytime soon. The Marlins are going to select Freddie Tarnock, who will have to be made a spot for on the 40-man roster.
