Ynoa signed a minor-league contract with the Royals on Tuesday.

Ynoa didn't play affiliate ball in 2018 after being cut loose by the White Sox in March. He appeared in the Dominican Winter League, however, posting a 0.87 ERA, 0.77 WHIP and 13:4 K:BB through 10.1 innings. It's unclear if the deal includes an invitation to spring training at this point. Ynoa, who last pitched in the majors for the White Sox in 2017, owns a career 4.42 ERA, 1.48 WHIP and 53:39 K:BB across parts of two major-league seasons (59 innings).

Wright underwent arthroscopic surgery on his left knee Monday and is expected to be ready to pitch for the 2019 season, Mark Feinsand of MLB.com reports.

Wright picked up a knee injury during the first game of the ALDS against New York, and he didn't appear for the rest of the postseason. He'll have nearly the entire offseason to recover from the procedure and should enter spring training as a strong candidate to win a spot in the starting rotation.

Ohtani (elbow) said his recovery from Tommy John surgery is going well, Maria I. Guardado of MLB.com reports. "I feel like so far it's going really well, no setbacks," Ohtani said. "I think I'm right on schedule and maybe a little bit ahead."

Ohtani underwent surgery at the beginning of October, which will keep him from pitching until 2020 -- though he's still expected to be able to hit in 2019. The two-way star is making encouraging progress, as he recently regained full range of motion in his elbow, according to Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic. That said, a concrete timetable for Ohtani isn't expected to come into focus into at least January.

Pollock declined the Diamondbacks' one-year, $17.9 million qualifying offer and became a free agent Monday, Jon Heyman of FancredSports.com reports.

Pollock will enter free agency for the first time in his career after hitting .257/.316/.484 with 21 homers and 13 stolen bases across 113 games in 2018. The outfielder has five-tool potential when healthy, though injuries have been an issue for him in the past.

Harper declined the Nationals' one-year, $17.9 million qualifying offer and became a free agent Monday, Mark Zuckerman of MASN Sports reports.

Nobody expected Harper to accept this offer, as the 26-year-old superstar is looking to sign what is likely to be the largest free-agent contract of the offseason. While he got off to a slow start in 2018, Harper still finished the season with an .889 OPS, 34 homers and 100 RBI while leading the majors with 130 walks.

Kimbrel declined the Red Sox's one-year, $17.9 million qualifying offer and became a free agent Monday, Chris Cotillo of MassLive.com reports.

This comes as no surprise, as Kimbrel is expected to command a healthy contract this offseason after putting together another All-Star campaign as Boston's closer. The 30-year-old finished the season with 42 saves, a 2.74 ERA, 1.00 WHIP and 96:31 K:BB across 62.1 innings for the World Series champions.

Carter was assigned to the G-League on Tuesday.

Carter will be available for the Memphis Hustle's game Wednesday against the Windy City Bulls. He has yet to play for the Grizzlies.

Rabb has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Bucks due to an illness.

Specifics regarding the illness remain unclear, but with Rabb unavailable, look for Marc Gasol and Jaren Jackson to see the majority of frontcourt minutes Wednesday. Rabb's next chance to play will come Friday against the Kings.

Casspi (knee) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game in Milwaukee.

Although Casspi appears to be closing in on a return to the court, he'll be sidelined for the fifth consecutive contest with a sore right knee. He'll set his sights on returning in time for Friday's matchup with Sacramento.

Green will likely be held out of Tuesday's game against the Hawks, Chris Haynes of Yahoo Sports reports.

There have been rumors regarding verbal altercations between Green and a few of his teammates within Golden State's locker room following Monday's loss, so it's unclear if this is in any way related to the decision to sit him down Tuesday. Jordan Bell figures to draw the start at power forward, and Green should return to the starting lineup for Thursday's contest in Houston.

Payton (ankle) is questionable for Wednesday's contest against the Timberwolves, Alan Horton of the Timberwolves Radio Network reports.

Payton has been out since late October due to a sprained right ankle. He may be able to make his return Wednesday. More information on his status may arrive following morning shootaround. Payton was averaging 14.5 points, 7.0 rebounds, 7.0 assists and 1.0 steals before suffering the injury.

Mirotic (ankle) is questionable for Wednesday's matchup with Minnesota, Alan Horton of the Timberwolves Radio Network reports.

Mirotic has missed two straight games due to sprained right ankle, but he's inching closer to a return. A decision on his status should be announced following Wednesday's shootaround. Wesley Johnson figures to start at forward if Mirotic is ruled out again.

Weber (knee) is currently two weeks ahead of schedule in his rehab and could return to action by the end of November or early December, Renaud Lavoie of TVA Sports reports.

Weber returned to practice for the first time since undergoing knee surgery Monday, which was the first indication that he may be ahead of schedule in his recovery. Weber's updated timeline suggests he could make his season debut as soon as Nov. 27 against Carolina, but a return to action in the first week of December is probably still the more likely scenario.

Campbell (knee) was officially placed on injured reserve Tuesday, Jon Rosen of Fox Sports West reports.

Campbell will require 4-to-6 weeks to recover from surgery to repair a torn meniscus. Peter Budaj and Cal Peterson are the de facto goalies in Los Angeles with Jonathan Quick (knee) on injured reserve as well, so you may see a fair share of fantasy owners exploiting matchups that involve the Kings' organizational depth goalies.

Markstrom will guard the cage in Tuesday's road game against the Islanders.

Markstrom played pretty well in his last appearance Monday against the Rangers, stopping 25 of 27 shots, but he ultimately suffered his fourth loss of the campaign due to a lack of goal support from his teammates. The Swedish goaltender will look to stay sharp and secure his eighth victory of the season in a road matchup with a slumping Islanders team that's lost three consecutive games.

Saros will post up in the road net for Tuesday night's clash with the Sharks, Eric Gilmore of NHL.com reports.

Predators coach Peter Laviolette will send Saros to the cage after Pekka Rinne suffered a shootout loss to the Ducks for the first half of the back-to-back set Monday night. Saros has allowed seven goals on 55 shots (.873) while his team's been shorthanded this season -- this is a bit discouraging when viewed as an isolated metric, but the Predators are a disciplined team and only four teams have averaged fewer penalty minutes than Nashville's eight-spot. Saros will now prepare to face a Sharks team that ranks 15th in the league in scoring (3.25 goals per game) at the Shark Tank.

Jarnkrok (lower body) is still considered day-to-day and won't play Tuesday against the Sharks, NHL.com's Eric Gilmore reports.

Jarnkrok skated Tuesday, so he's definitely trending in the right direction, but he'll have to wait for Thursday's matchup with the Coyotes for his next opportunity to rejoin the lineup. With Jarnkrok unavailable, Rocco Grimaldi is expected to round out the Predators' depth at forward against San Jose.

Stralman (upper body) won't play Tuesday against Buffalo, Joe Smith of The Athletic reports.

The Lightning are hoping Stralman will be ready to return at some point during their four-game road trip, but he'll have to wait for Thursday's game in Pittsburgh for his next opportunity to do so. With Stralman unavailable, the recently recalled Erik Cernak will slot into the lineup and make his NHL debut against the Sabres.
