Scouting Report
Updated May 17, 2026
Danny Coulombe, 36-year-old left-handed reliever, was placed on the 15-day injured list on May 4, 2026 with cervical spasms. Coulombe woke up on May 3rd with neck spasms that did not improve, prompting the IL placement. He was hopeful to be activated on May 12th when first eligible. The injury appears to be non-structural, possibly related to sleeping on different pillows during travel. Coulombe has a 5.63 ERA and 1.50 WHIP across 8 innings in 12 games this season. He was rehabbing in minor league games as of mid-May.
