Aaron Judge, Jazz Chisholm Jr., Ryan Weathers and Trent Grisham, Yankees

Judge was placed on the 10-day injured list on Sept. 19 with a right calf strain. He could return for the final game of the regular season on Sept. 27, but the team has not yet set a timetable.

Chisholm (right thumb sprain) hit on Sept. 18 for the fourth consecutive day and is “doing well,” manager Aaron Boone said.

Weathers (left forearm flexor strain) was scheduled to throw another side session on Sept. 19 but is no longer expected to return by the end of the regular season.

Grisham (right hamstring strain) has advanced in his running progression and "could be in play toward the end of the season," Boone said on Sept. 18.

Blake Snell, Shohei Ohtani, Andy Pages and Roki Sasaki, Dodgers

Snell left his Sept. 16 start against the Reds after one inning with left groin tightness. He threw from 90 feet on Sept. 18 and is expected to make another start before the end of the regular season.

Ohtani (left knee and right biceps soreness) hit coach-pitch batting practice on Sept. 18 as he continues to work toward a regular-season return.

Pages (left hand fracture) is "very likely" to be activated during the Dodgers' final homestand (Sept. 18-24) without going on a rehab assignment, manager Dave Roberts said. 

Sasaki (right middle finger blister) threw four simulated innings on Sept. 16. He will likely start during the Dodgers' final home series against the Padres from Sept. 22-24.

Willson Contreras, Garrett Crochet, Aroldis Chapman and Ceddanne Rafaela, Red Sox

Contreras (bruised knuckle on right hand) was out of the lineup through Sept. 19 due to ongoing soreness. He reported improvement and remained confident he had avoided a fracture but was still unable to grip a bat. 

Crochet (left shoulder inflammation) threw an up-and-down bullpen session on Sept. 19 at Fenway Park. If he recovers well, he could face hitters in the coming days. 

Chapman hasn't pitched since Sept. 13 due to lat tightness. He expects to return during Boston's final homestand, which starts on Sept. 22.

Rafaela (right quad strain) might not be able to join Triple-A Worcester for a rehab game by the end of its season on Sept. 20, but he is "moving quickly in the right direction," according to interim manager Chad Tracy.

Shane McClanahan, Tyler Wells, Garrett Cleavinger and Manuel Rodríguez, Rays

McClanahan (left forearm tightness) had "a good day" playing catch on Sept. 18.

Yesavage (left meniscus surgery) threw a side session of around 30 pitches on Sept. 18 at Globe Life Field. He could return as soon as Sept. 20.

Santander (left shoulder labral surgery) was scheduled to play five to seven innings in the outfield for Triple-A Buffalo on Sept. 18 before serving as the DH on Sept. 19. If all goes well, he will play a full game in the outfield on Sept. 20.

Ryan Helsley, Tyler O'Neill and Jackson Holliday, Orioles

Helsley (right elbow inflammation) has been shut down for the remainder of the 2026 season in order to avoid potentially rushing his recovery.

Holliday was placed on the 10-day IL on Sept. 16 with left wrist inflammation. He was scheduled to visit a specialist on Sept. 19.

Colin Holderman, Guardians

Holderman (right wrist inflammation) exited his Sept. 17 rehab outing with Triple-A Columbus due to discomfort in his wrist after hitting a batter and issuing two walks.

Robert Suarez, Braves

Suarez (right elbow inflammation) is expected to pitch in a Minor League rehab game on Sept. 20 for Triple-A Gwinnett. There’s still hope he will be ready by the start of the postseason.

Jonathan Bowlan, Phillies

Bowlan (mild right groin strain) will not be placed on the injured list so he can remain available for the NL Wild Card Series, which begins on Sept. 29.

Tristan Peters, White Sox

Jack Leiter and Joc Pederson, Rangers

Leiter (right ankle arthroscopic surgery) is expected to throw a bullpen session during the weekend of Sept. 18-20 with an eye on a return for potential postseason run.

Pederson (left hand fracture) still hadn’t swung a bat as of Sept. 17, but swelling in his hand has gone down over the past few days. He has been gripping a light bat to get strength and movement back.

Jason Adam, Padres

Adam (right shoulder strain) made his third rehab appearance with Triple-A El Paso on Sept. 18.

Byron Buxton, Twins

Buxton underwent a successful hip labrum repair scope procedure on Sept. 18.
