Todd Helton (1B, COL)
Injury: Inflammation, left forearm
DL date: April 20
Estimated DL time: Approximately three weeks. When you are 39 years old and play baseball in what looks like Alaska this month, it's hard to overcome ailments quickly. This muscle injury should not be a long-term issue.

Jason Heyward (OF, ATL)

Justin Maxwell (OF, HOU)
Injury: Fractured...
