Arizona Diamondbacks
Corbin Carroll - OF (hand)
Carroll was removed in the eighth inning after he was hit by a pitch on Wednesday, June 18. After sitting out four games, a scan revealed a fractured left wrist for the 24-year-old star outfielder. Carroll was placed on the 10-day injured list retroactive to June 19 with no timetable for a return. We’re probably looking at a few weeks at minimum.
Corbin Burnes - SP (elbow)
Burnes was pulled in the fifth inning of a game against the Nationals on June 1 with right elbow discomfort. After seeking a second opinion, he’s set to undergo Tommy John surgery and be out for the next 12 months or so.
Justin Martinez - RP (elbow)
Martinez was pulled from a game on June 9 with elbow tightness and was placed on the 15-day injured list with a UCL sprain in his right elbow. This comes shortly after the 23-year-old right-hander was sidelined with a shoulder injury. He’s now facing a 12-13 month absence, according to the team. Shelby Miller is in line to step in for most save chances in Arizona.
Jordan Montgomery - SP (Tommy John surgery)
Montgomery is set to undergo Tommy John surgery, the second of his career after having the procedure in 2018. The 32-year-old left-hander will miss the entire 2025 season and likely the start of 2026. Montgomery is entering the final year of his two-year, $47.5 million deal with Arizona and will be a free agent following the season.
A.J. Puk - RP (elbow)
Puk, sidelined since mid-April with an elbow injury, underwent Tommy John surgery on Friday, June 20. The 30-year-old left-hander will now miss all of 2025 and a significant portion of the 2026 season.
Gabriel Moreno - C (hand)
Moreno had been dealing with hand soreness for over a week after taking a wild pitch off his right hand on June 6. He was placed on the 10-day injured list on June 19 and tests revealed he was dealing with a hairline fracture in his right index finger. The injury will likely extend his absence beyond the minimum 10 days.
Athletics
Zack Gelof - 2B (hammate surgery, ribs)
Gelof began the year on the 10-day injured list after suffering a hamate bone fracture in his right hand during a spring exhibition game. The 25-year-old second baseman underwent successful surgery and was expected to be sidelined for an estimated six to eight weeks. Gelof was in the middle of a rehab assignment with Triple-A Las Vegan when he was shut down with a stress reaction in his ribs. He has resumed his rehab assignment and could be closing in on a return to the Athletics lineup.
Gunnar Hoglund - SP (hip)
After giving up eight runs over six innings in a start against the Blue Jays, Hoglund landed on the 15-day injured list with a left hip impingement. He underwent hip surgery on Friday, June 13, and is expected to miss the remainder of the 2025 season.
Shea Langeliers - C (oblique)
Langeliers was removed from a game against the Twins on June 5 with left flank soreness and was placed on the 10-day injured list with a left oblique strain. He began a minor league rehab assignment with Triple-A Las Vegas on June 25 and could return after just a few rehab games.
Atlanta Braves
Chris Sale - SP (ribs)
Sale was injured making a diving play in the infield against the Mets on June 18. He was placed on the 15-day injured list with a fractured left ribcage. The 36-year-old left-hander is looking at an extended absence, but is expected to pitch again this season.
Reynaldo López - SP (shoulder surgery)
López was placed on the injured list with right shoulder inflammation after struggling in his first start of the season. It was determined he would need arthroscopic surgery on his shoulder, sidelining him until at least August if all goes well. A cleanup procedure showed no further structural damage, and López will be re-evaluated in July.
Daysbel Hernández - RP (forearm)
The Braves placed Hernández on the injured list with forearm inflammation, retroactive to June 5th. He was seen shaking out his right arm in his most recent appearance on June 4th and left the game shortly thereafter. The expectation was that he’ll be out for at least two weeks, but there’s been no update on his status.
AJ Smith-Shawver - SP (Tommy John surgery)
Smith-Shawver left his start on May 29 against the Phillies after feeling a “pop” in his right elbow. Things progressed quickly from there as he was moved to the 60-day injured list and underwent Tommy John surgery, likely sidelining him for most of 2026.
Baltimore Orioles
Grayson Rodriguez - SP (elbow discomfort)
Rodriguez was officially placed on the 15-day injured list to open the year. He was shut down in early March with right elbow inflammation. He was then scratched from a bullpen session in mid-April to undergo an MRI for shoulder soreness. The results revealed a mild lat strain that will shut him down for another few weeks. With a transfer to the 60-day injured list, we’re looking at a potential return closer to the second half of the season. Manager Tony Mansolino recently told reporters that the team is “hopeful” that Rodriguez will pitch in 2025.
Tyler O’Neill - OF (shoulder)
O’Neill landed on the 10-day injured list with a left shoulder impingement on May 18. It’s the second time the oft-injured 29-year-old outfielder has been sidelined this season. He’s was shut down from his rehab assignment for a week after receiving an injection in his AC joint on June 14 and returned to rehab games on June 22. He could be activated in the coming days if all goes well.
Ryan Mountcastle - 1B (hamstring)
Mountcastle was removed from a game on May 30 with right hamstring discomfort and was officially placed on the 10-day injured list with a hamstring strain. He was diagnosed with a Grade 2 strain and is expected to miss 8-12 weeks, putting him on the shelf until at least August.
Cade Povich - SP (hip)
A day after tossing 3 2/3 scoreless innings to earn a win, Povich landed on the 15-day injured list with left hip inflammation on June 16. He surrendered five runs, three earned, over 4 1/3 innings in his first rehab start.
Boston Red Sox
Masataka Yoshida - OF (off-season shoulder surgery)
Yoshida remains on the 60-day injured list as he continues his rehab from offseason shoulder surgery. Following the trade of Rafael Devers to the Giants, manager Alex Cora indicated that Yoshida’s rehab will be fast-tracked to get him back in the lineup as the team’s designated hitter. He’s expected to begin a rehab assignment on Tuesday, July 1.
Kutter Crawford - SP (knee)
Crawford, out all season with a knee injury, threw a three-inning bullpen session and was set for a rehab assignment, but was shut down after he felt some pain in his right wrist. He’ll undergo surgery on his wrist and miss the rest of the season.
Triston Casas - 1B (knee)
Casas suffered a significant knee injury running to first base during a game on May 2 and had to be carted off the field. The 25-year-old first baseman underwent season-ending surgery to repair a ruptured patellar tendon in his left knee.
Alex Bregman - 3B (quad)
Bregman was removed from a game against the Orioles on May 23 with right quad tightness and placed on the 10-day injured list. Manager Alex Cora recently told reporters that Bregman is unlikely to return before the All-Star break. Marcelo Mayer has filled in at third base.
Justin Slaten - RP (shoulder)
Slaten was placed on the 15-day injured list with right shoulder inflammation on May 29 and remains shut down from throwing. It was revealed the 27-year-old right-hander is dealing with a nerve-related issue in his neck. Slaten will likely remain out until sometime after the All-Star break.
Tanner Houck - SP (forearm)
Houck was placed on the injured list on May 13th with a right flexor pronator strain. He made his first rehab start a month later on June 18th and threw 32 pitches in his lone inning of work, then surrendered four runs in his second start on June 25.
Hunter Dobbins - SP (elbow)
Dobbins was placed on the 15-day injured list with a right elbow strain on June 21. There’s no timetable for a return, but it’ll likely be longer than the minimum stint. Richard Fitts has stepped into his spot in the rotation, while Kyle Harrison could be a possibility in the near future.
Chicago Cubs
Javier Assad - SP (Strained Oblique)
Assad suffered a mild oblique strain in mid-February that has kept him out all season. He was transferred to the 60-day injured list in late April after experiencing a setback. After Assad was shut down for a month, he resumed a throwing program in late May. While there’s no clear timetable, a return in June is unlikely.
Justin Steele - SP (elbow)
Steele landed on the 15-day injured list following his last start with left elbow tendinitis. After undergoing an MRI exam, it was determined the 29-year-old left-hander would need season-ending surgery on his left elbow. Steele underwent a UCL revision surgery, which is less invasive than a full Tommy John and should put him in line to return early next season.
Miguel Amaya - C (oblique)
Amaya landed on the 10-day injured list on May 25 with a left oblique strain and is expected to miss 4-6 weeks, putting him out until around the All-Star break. The 26-year-old backstop was hitting .280 with four homers through 27 games. Reese McGuire has filled in for backup catching duties behind Carson Kelly.
Chicago White Sox
Davis Martin - SP (forearm)
The White Sox placed Martin on the 15-day injured list with a forearm stain ahead of his scheduled start on June 20th. There’s currently no timeline for a return.
Cam Booser - RP (shoulder strain)
Booser was placed on the 15-day injured list with a shoulder strain on Friday June 20th. He was somewhat in the mix for the few saves the White Sox make available, but now will likely be out until at least the All-Star break.
Jonathan Cannon - SP (back)
Cannon’s velocity was down during his last outing on June 2 against the Tigers. He was placed on the 15-day injured list the next day with a strained lower back. Cannon made a rehab start on Tuesday, June 24. His next start could come with the White Sox.
Cincinnati Reds
Hunter Greene - SP (groin)
Greene has been placed back on the IL with a groin strain. This is the second time this season he’s been shelved with that same injury, so expect the Reds to be much more cautious with his recovery and return this time around. The 25-year-old right-hander is scheduled to throw a bullpen session next week. He’ll likely be out until at least around the All-Star break.
Noelvi Marte - 3B (strained oblique)
Marte landed on the 10-day injured list with a Grade 2 left oblique strain. The injury typically carries a 4-8 week timetable. The 23-year-old third baseman began a minor league rehab assignment on June 20 and could be back in the infield mix for the Reds by the end of June or early July.
Austin Hays - OF (foot)
Hays was placed on the 10-day injured list on May 29 with a left foot contusion, already his third trip to the injured list this season. With persistent pain in his foot, an MRI did not reveal any structural damage, so Hays is dealing with a deep bone bruise. There’s no clear timeline for a return.
Wade Miley - SP (flexor strain)
This is not good news for Miley. The Reds placed him on the injured list with a flexor strain and gave no timeline for his return. Sometimes, flexor strains could be a precursor for much more serious elbow injuries, so don’t expect him back soon.
Cleveland Guardians
Shane Bieber - SP (Tommy John surgery)
Bieber underwent Tommy John surgery early in the 2024 season. The 29-year-old right-hander was targeting the All-Star break for his return, but he’s ahead of schedule in his recovery. He began a rehab assignment on May 31st, but was scratched from his next scheduled start with what was described as continued elbow soreness. The soreness was deemed normal after follow-up testing revealed no structural damage.
Colorado Rockies
Ezequiel Tovar - SS (oblique)
Tovar exited Monday’s game against the Marlins with discomfort in his left side. He was held out of the Rockies’ games for the rest of the week and finally placed on the IL on June 6. Hopefully this isn’t an extended absence, but oblique injuries tend to be fickle.
Detroit Tigers
Jackson Jobe - SP (strained elbow flexor)
Jobe was placed on the 15-day injured list with a Grade 1 right elbow flexor strain on May 30. This comes after his velocity was notably down in his previous start against the Giants. It was determined shortly after that the 22-year-old right-hander will need to undergo Tommy John surgery, likely keeping him out until late 2026.
Reese Olson - SP (finger inflammation)
Olson has been out since May 18 with inflammation in his right ring finger. While he’s been throwing for a couple of weeks, he received an injection on June 3 to address remaining inflammation in his finger. Olson was finally cleared for a rehab assignment on June 13 and was up to 74 pitches in what was likely his final tune-up before rejoining the Tigers rotation.
Alex Cobb - SP (hip inflammation)
The oft-injured Cobb has made at least 20 starts just twice in the last six seasons. The 37-year-old right-hander is working his way back after suffering a right hip impingement at the outset of Spring Training. Cobb had begun a minor league rehab assignment, throwing two innings for Triple-A Toledo in his first start, before receiving a cortisone injection to treat inflammation in his other hip.
Houston Astros
Yordan Alvarez - OF/DH (hand inflammation)
Alvarez sat a couple of games with right hand discomfort and was placed on the 10-day injured list with right hand inflammation. The 27-year-old slugger has been sidelined since May 3 and has just recently progressed to hitting off a tee. He remains without an official timetable.
Lance McCullers Jr. - SP (foot)
After a few solid starts, McCullers was placed on the 15-day injured list after what was described as a ‘freak accident’ in the team’s weight room. That sounds like he dropped a weight on his foot, but manager Joe Espada has assured reporters it’ll only be a minimum stay on the IL for McCullers.
Spencer Arrighetti - SP (thumb)
Arrighetti has been sidelined for two months after fracturing his thumb during on-field batting practice in a freak accident in early April. He’s progressed to throwing bullpen sessions and should move on to facing hitters before starting a rehab assignment, hopefully putting him in line to return sometime in July.
Zach Dezenzo - 1B/OF (hand)
Dezenzo was removed from a game on May 31 with left hand discomfort and placed on the 10-day injured list with hand inflammation. He was diagnosed with a capsule sprain in his left hand and has no currently timeline for a return.
Luis Garcia - SP (Tommy John surgery)
Garcia is making progress in his return from Tommy John surgery. He threw a live bullpen session on Wednesday, June 25, and could be nearing a rehab assignment in the coming weeks.
Cristian Javier - SP (Tommy John surgery)
Javier had Tommy John surgery last year and appears on track to return in the second half of this season. He recently threw a 20-pitch bullpen session and could work his way up to a rehab assignment soon.
Ronel Blanco - SP (elbow)
Blanco underwent Tommy John surgery with an internal brace procedure on Friday, June 6. The surgery also addressed a repair of the right flexor tendon. The 31-year-old right-hander isn’t expected back until the late stages of 2026.
Kansas City Royals
Cole Ragans - SP (groin strain)
The Royals ace made it off the injured list for one start and was shelved once again with a shoulder injury. The team officially placed Ragans on the 15-day injured list on June 8 with a left rotator cuff strain and has shut him down from throwing for two additional weeks. He’s also seeking a second opinion on that shoulder, which typically doesn’t lead to good news.
Hunter Harvey - RP (shoulder)
Harvey was placed on the 15-day injured list with a Grade 1 right teres major sprain. He experienced renewed soreness during his rehab in early May, slowing his recovery. The team officially moved him to the 60-day injured list. Harvey had been pitching well out of the Royals bullpen with seven strikeouts over 5 1/3 scoreless innings.
Los Angeles Angels
Ben Joyce - RP (right shoulder inflammation)
After experiencing a dip in velocity in his most recent outing, Joyce was placed on the 15-day injured list with right shoulder inflammation. He experienced renewed soreness and underwent season-ending shoulder surgery.
Robert Stephenson - RP (biceps)
Stephenson had made his return from Tommy John surgery in late May but his return was short lived as he was placed on the 15-day injured list with right biceps inflammation. An MRI revealed no structural damage, but there still remains no timetable for a return.
Jorge Soler - OF (back)
Soler had sat out a few games with lower back soreness and landed on the 10-day injured list on June 20 as he made little progress. He could return when eligible early next week.
Los Angeles Dodgers
Blake Snell - SP (shoulder)
Snell was placed on the 15-day injured list with left shoulder inflammation on April 3 following his second start of the season in which he allowed five runs and walked four batters. An MRI revealed no structural damage, but the 32-year-old southpaw had been shut down from throwing after experiencing renewed shoulder discomfort. He tossed his first bullpen session since April on June 10 and said to be pain free. Snell is still likely a couple of weeks away from a minor league rehab assignment.
Tyler Glasnow - SP (shoulder)
Glasnow was removed from his start against the Pirates on April 27 after one inning with right shoulder discomfort. He’s currently on the 60-day injured list as his recovery has been slowed by some general soreness. He made his first rehab start on Sunday, June 22, tossing two scoreless innings on 48 pitches. Glasnow will likely need another couple of outings before returning to the Dodgers rotation.
Roki Sasaki - SP (shoulder)
Sasaki was placed on the 15-day injured list with a right shoulder impingement on May 13, an issue he had pitched through for a few starts. He resumed throwing in late May but was shut down a few weeks later and the Dodgers have since transferred him to the 60-day IL. He’s first eligible to return just after the All-Star break and it’s unclear if he’ll even be throwing again by then.
Blake Treinen - RP (forearm)
Treinen landed on the 15-day injured list with right forearm tightness on April 19, then transferred to the 60-day injured list in early May after an MRI revealed a low-grade forearm strain. He resumed throwing in mid-May, but there’s been no update on his status since.
Tony Gonsolin - SP (elbow)
Gonsolin was placed on the 15-day injured list on June 7 after experiencing right elbow discomfort following his last start. Manager Dave Robert stated Gonzolin’s UCL in his right elbow remains in tact, but he was placed on the 60-day IL soon thereafter. The vagueness of these reports don’t inspire much confidence.
Miami Marlins
Griffin Conine - OF (shoulder)
Conine suffered a dislocated left shoulder on a slide into second base on April 19 and will undergo season-ending surgery. The 27-year-old outfielder was in the midst of a breakout season, hitting .281/.352/.438 over 71 plate appearances.
Ryan Weathers - SP (lat strain)
Weather left his last start on June 7 with an apparent arm injury. He was also hit by a throw on the head during warmups in between innings. He later underwent evaluation for shoulder discomfort and was placed on the 60-day injured list with a left lat strain, putting him out until at least early August.
Max Meyer - SP (hip impingement)
After giving up 11 runs over his last two starts, the Marlins put Meyer on the 15-day injured list with a hip impingement on June 3. It wasn’t expected to be a long stay on the injured list, but after meeting with a specialist it was determined he’d need season-ending hip surgery. He should be ready for the start of spring training next season.
Milwaukee Brewers
Brandon Woodruff - SP (shoulder surgery)
Woodruff underwent shoulder surgery at the end of the 2023 season that sidelined him for all of last year. He made one appearance in spring training, tossing one scoreless inning. The 32-year-old right-hander began a rehab assignment with Triple-A Nashville and was stuck on the right elbow by a 108 mph comebacker in his start on June 3rd. His X-rays came back negative. He’s set to get back into minor league action by the end of June with hopes to finally join the Milwaukee rotation in July.
Nestor Cortes - SP (elbow)
Cortes had bounced back with a strong start following his blowup outing against the Yankees on March 29. However, he landed on the 15-day injured list with a left elbow flexor strain. The 30-year-old left-hander had been shut down for a few weeks and received a PRP injection in hopes to expedite his recovery. He started playing catch in May and came out of a bullpen session feeling good in mid-June. Cortes should be nearing a rehab assignment.
Garrett Mitchell - OF (oblique strain, shoulder)
Mitchell exited a game on April 25 with left oblique tightness and was placed on the 10-day injured list with a strain. He finally began a rehab assignment with Triple-A Nashville on June 17th, but injured his shoulder during a rehab game and will be out at least an additional 8-10 weeks.
Minnesota Twins
Pablo López - SP (shoulder)
López abruptly exited his start on Tuesday, June 3rd while warming up for the sixth inning after feeling some discomfort in his lat. After an MRI, the team announced he had a Grade 2 teres major strain in his right shoulder and is expected to miss 8-12 weeks.
Luke Keaschall - OF (fractured forearm)
Keaschall suffered a left forearm fracture after he was hit by a pitch during a game against the Angels on April 25. The 22-year-old prospect was 7-for-19 at the plate with five steals. He was moved to the 60-day injured list in May and won’t return until at least late June or early July.
Zebby Matthews - SP (shoulder)
The Twins took another hit to the rotation with Matthews landing on the 15-day injured list on June 5 with a right shoulder strain. The 25-year-old right-hander will be shut down for two weeks before he’s re-evaluated. There’s no current timeline for a return.
Royce Lewis - 3B (hamstring)
Lewis was removed from a game against the Astros on Friday, June 13 with a left hamstring strain. He was placed on the 10-day injured list and is set to begin a minor league rehab assignment on Friday, June 27. Lewis could return for the Twins’ series opener against the Marlins on Tuesday, July 1.
New York Mets
Sean Manaea - SP (strained oblique)
Manaea felt some discomfort in his right oblique when spring training began and was shut down for a few weeks. He began a throwing program in mid-March, but again felt discomfort in that same oblique on April 1. He’s made two starts in a minor league rehab assignment and was shut down for a couple of days to address a loose body in his left elbow. Manaea is still expected to return sometime around the All-Star break.
Jesse Winker - OF (strained oblique)
Winker was placed on the IL with a Grade 2 oblique strain on May 5th. He is expected to be out for six to eight weeks. In an update on June 13, manager Carlos Mendoza told reporters that Winker is still weeks away from a rehab assignment.
Kodai Senga - SP (hamstring)
Senga injured his right hamstring while fielding a play during a start on June 12. He was diagnosed with a Grade 1 right hamstring strain and will hopefully need just a couple of weeks before returning to the rotation.
Griffin Canning - SP (torn Achilles)
Canning was removed from his start on Thursday, June 26 with a left ankle injury. It was revealed that the 29-year-old right-hander suffered a ruptured left Achilles, sidelining him for the rest of the season.
New York Yankees
Luis Gil - SP (strained lat)
The oft-injured Gil opened the season on the 60-day injured list after suffering a high-grade lat strain during spring training. Manager Aaron Boone proclaimed he’d be out “at least three months” just after the injury was announced. He was cleared to begin a throwing program on April 27 and faced live hitters on Saturday June 21st. He could have a chance to join the Yankees rotation by the end of July.
Marcus Stroman - SP (knee)
Stroman was placed on the injured list on April 12th with left knee inflammaiton. That came after a few awful starts and turbulent few months where Stroman demanded to be a starting pitcher. After vaguely being held out for months, he finally began a rehab assignment on June 11th with Double-A Somerset, putting him on track to return to the majors soon. Yet, his role there remains unclear.
Philadelphia Phillies
Aaron Nola - SP (ankle, oblique)
Nola went to the IL on May 15th after an ankle sprain and numerous poor starts. He was set to face live hitters for the first time this week, but felt some “mild” soreness in his side and was shut down. He’s still yet to throw a competitive pitch since the original ankle injury and likely won’t be back until after the All-Star break at the earliest after he was transferred to the 60-day injured list.
Bryce Harper - 1B (wrist)
Harper was held out of the lineup on Friday, June 6 with some wrist soreness. The team decided to take the cautionary approach by placing the star first baseman on the 10-day injured list with wrist inflammation. He’s set to take batting practice on Friday, June 27, and could return shortly after as he likely won’t require a rehab assignment.
Pittsburgh Pirates
Jared Jones - SP (elbow discomfort)
The Pirates were dealt a blow when Jones was diagnosed with a right UCL sprain in his elbow before the start of the season. The 23-year-old right-hander was placed on the 60-day injured list and underwent season-ending surgery. He could be ready to return in early 2026 following an internal brace procedure rather than a full Tommy John surgery.
Endy Rodriguez - C/1B (elbow)
Rodriguez’s return was short lived as he landed back in the injured list with right elbow discomfort. He was transferred to the 60-day injured list and set to receive a PRP injection before resting for four weeks.
San Diego Padres
Michael King - SP (shoulder)
King was scratched from a start on May 24 with right shoulder soreness he attributed to sleeping awkwardly. He was officially placed on the 15-day injured list retroactive to May 22 with right shoulder inflammation. Padres manager Mike Shildt told reporters on June 18th that the right-hander will be held out until at least after the All-Star break.
Yu Darvish - SP (elbow soreness)
Darvish experienced arm fatigue in mid-March and was diagnosed with right elbow inflammation. The 38-year-old right-hander began a rehab assignment in May, but was pulled off it after experiencing further discomfort. He threw a simulated game on Wednesday, June 25, and could be ready for a rehab assignment in early July.
San Francisco Giants
Matt Chapman - 3B (hand)
Chapman jammed his hand while diving to first base on June 8 and was placed on the 10-day injured list with hand inflammation. He was diagnosed with a right hand sprain and was shut down for a couple of weeks after seeing a hand specialist. The team is hoping to get the 32-year-old third baseman back in early-to-mid July.
Seattle Mariners
Victor Robles - OF (dislocated shoulder)
Robles injured himself on an incredible play against the Giants on April 6, colliding with the wall and netting down the right-field line. The 27-year-old outfielder came away with a dislocated right shoulder. While he looks to have avoided surgery at the moment, he’s expected to be out until September.
Bryce Miller (elbow)
Miller landed on the 15-day injured list on May 14 with right elbow inflammation. It was later revealed he has been dealing with a bone spur in the back of his elbow, something he’ll pitch through all season before potentially resolving the issue in the off-season. He made two starts in his return and landed back on the injured list on June 7 with elbow inflammation. He’s expected to return in the next 4-6 weeks.
St. Louis Cardinals
Ivan Herrera - C (hamstring)
Herrera was placed on the 10-day injured list with a Grade 2 left hamstring strain on June 20, an injury that ranges from 2-6 weeks. Pedro Pages is picking up the bulk of catching duties in his absence.
Tampa Bay Rays
Shane McClanahan - SP (triceps nerve inflammation)
McClanahan, making his way back from Tommy John surgery, suffered a left arm injury during a spring training start on March 22. He was diagnosed with nerve inflammation in his left triceps and apparently had a ‘very good meeting’ with a nerve specialst in mid-June. That’s a strange sentence to hear, but Kevin Cash assured reporters that McClanahan is set to resume his throwing program soon. He threw off a mound on Wednesday, June 25, but he’ll likely need a few bullpen sessions and a lengthy rehab assignment before a potential return.
Ha-Seong Kim - SS (shoulder surgery)
Kim underwent offseason shoulder surgery before signing on with the Rays on a two-year, $29 million contract. The 29-year-old infielder is expected to make his debut with Tampa Bay sometime in early July and should step in as the team’s primary shortstop upon his return. Kim is currently on a rehab assignment with Triple-A Durham.
Jonny DeLuca - OF (strained shoulder)
DeLuca had been hitting well to start the season before landing on the 10-day injured list on April 8, slashing .435/.480/.522 with four steals over nine games. The 26-year-old outfielder was expected to miss 2-4 weeks with a right shoulder strain, but suffered a setback during his rehab assignment on May 28, clouding his potential return.
Hunter Bigge - RP (face)
In a scary moment, Bigge was hit in the face by a line drive while sitting in the dugout during the Rays’ game on June 19th. He’s been on the injured list since early May with a lat strain. Bigge underwent surgery to repair multiple facial fractures and has no timeline for a return.
Texas Rangers
Cody Bradford - SP (elbow soreness)
Bradford was shut down in mid-March with left elbow soreness and had been attempting to rehab the injury before it was determined he’d need season-ending surgery. It’s not currently known if it’s an internal brace procedure or Tommy John surgery.
Jon Gray - SP (fractured wrist)
Gray suffered a fractured right wrist after he was struck by a line drive during a spring training start on March 14. He was shut down from throwing for six weeks and placed on the 60-day injured list. Finally, he threw a bullpen session on June 18th and will likely embark on a long rehab assignment soon.
Joc Pederson - DH (hand)
Pederson suffered a fractured right hand when he was hit by a pitch on May 24. He’s likely facing a lengthy absence with a goal to return sometime after the All-Star break, though there’s been no clear timetable for the 33-year-old slugger.
Jake Burger - 1B (oblique)
Burger was placed on the 10-day injured list on June 21 with a left oblique strain and will be sidelined for at least a couple of weeks.
Wyatt Langford - OF (oblique)
Langford has been on the bench since Wednesday, June 25 with left side tightness. An evaluation Friday revealed a minor left oblique strain. The team has decided to give him some time to recover by placing him on the 10-day injured list.
Toronto Blue Jays
Anthony Santander - OF (shoulder)
Santander has been hampered by nagging shoulder and hip issues as he’s posted just a .577 OPS on the season. The team placed him on the 10-day injured list on May 30 and he received a PRP injection shortly after. He’s still not hitting and there’s been no update on a potential timeline.
Washinton Nationals
Dylan Crews - OF (oblique)
Crews was removed from a game on May 20 against the Braves following an awkward check swing and underwent an MRI that revealed a left oblique strain. He was placed on the 10-day injured list with no clear timetable to return. Crews started taking light swings over the last week.
