Jameson Taillon, Shane Bieber, Trey Yesavage, Anthony Santander and Luis Urías, Blue Jays

Taillon, activated off the 15-day IL (right forearm tendinitis) to start on Sept. 4, left his Friday night start after two innings due to right elbow discomfort. He was placed back on the 15-day IL on Sept. 5.

Bieber (right teres major inflammation) plans to get back on the mound for the first time since the injury later in the week of Sept. 7.

Joe Ryan and Byron Buxton, Twins

Ryan (mild left glute strain) threw a bullpen session on Sept. 5 and could potentially return to the rotation as soon as Sept. 7, if he recovers well. 

Buxton (right hip impingement) still hopes to return sometime in 2026 but will likely require offseason surgery.

Shane McClanahan, Garrett Cleavinger and Manuel Rodríguez, Rays

McClanahan was placed on the 15-day IL on Sept. 4 with left forearm tightness. He does not believe the issue to be serious.

Rodríguez was placed on the 15-day IL on Sept. 4 with a low back strain.

Joe Musgrove and Jason Adam, Padres

Musgrove (Tommy John surgery) has not recovered from each of his last two rehab starts as expected, slowing his progress enough to potentially prevent a return to the rotation in 2026. The Padres are considering short starts or a bullpen transition. 

Adam (right shoulder strain) threw his second bullpen session on Sept. 4 and could soon progress to facing hitters.

Masyn Winn, Cardinals

Winn (left thumb fracture) was still experiencing some pain while taking batting practice on Sept. 4, ruling out a Sept. 5 return. He felt better while taking swings the next day.

Jac Caglianone and Maikel Garcia, Royals

Caglianone left the Royals' Sept. 5 game after two innings due to left elbow soreness.

Garcia (left hamstring strain) is progressing well and running at 80 percent as of Sept. 4. He has not ruled out a 2026 return.

Josh Jung, Nathan Eovaldi and Jack Leiter, Rangers

Jung (left calf strain) ran the bases on Sept. 5. If all goes well, his next step would be live batting practice and a potential rehab assignment. 

Eovaldi (right posterior elbow inflammation) threw a roughly 40-pitch bullpen session on Sept. 5. Depending on how he recovers, he could next progress to a live batting practice session.

Leiter (right ankle arthroscopic surgery) still was not throwing as of Sept. 5 after experiencing biceps soreness in his last rehab outing. Based on the number of games left on the schedule, he is unlikely to return as a starter in 2026.

Carlos Correa and Steven Okert, Astros

Correa (left ankle surgery) took ground balls and hit in the cages at the club's Spring Training facility on Sept. 5. He is scheduled to hit on the field on Sept. 7.

Reynaldo López and Robert Suarez, Braves

López (left knee inflammation) is expected to rejoin the Braves' rotation sometime during the club's Sept. 8-10 series against the Rays.

Suarez (right elbow inflammation) had a pain-free bullpen session on Sept. 2 and is scheduled for another on Sept. 7, after which he could begin a rehab assignment.

Connelly Early, Nationals

Early (left elbow inflammation) expects to begin a rehab assignment sometime around Sept. 8.

Lazaro Montes and Matt Brash, Mariners

Montes left the Mariners' Sept. 4 game in the fifth inning with left hip soreness after colliding with the outfield wall. He was not in the lineup the following day. 

Brash (Grade 1 lat strain) underwent a follow-up MRI on Sept. 3 which showed continued inflammation. He has been shut down for at least eight weeks to allow for healing, ending his 2026 season.

Jacob Webb and Edward Cabrera, Cubs

Webb (right forearm contusion) played catch on Sept. 3-4, and the team expects to know more about his condition once the swelling has gone down. He is still being considered day to day. 

Cabrera (right middle finger blister) threw 32 pitches (14 strikes) in his second rehab outing with Triple-A Iowa on Sept. 4.

Jack Flaherty and Justin Verlander, Tigers

Flaherty (right flexor inflammation) is expected to make a rehab appearance with Triple-A Toledo on Sept. 6.

Hayes (left groin strain) will run the bases on Sept. 6 to test his healing. 

Ashcraft (right UCL sprain) is expected to be activated on Sept. 6.
