TOP 100 PROSPECT NEWS
(ordered by ranking)
No. 25 Bryce Eldridge, 1B, Giants
Injury: Bone spur in left wrist
Expected return: 2026
The Giants announced that their top prospect will undergo surgery on Oct. 2 to remove a bone spur from his left wrist. He is expected to spend eight weeks rehabbing, which would leave him ample time to recover before the start of Spring Training. (Last updated: Oct. 1)
No. 33 Ryan Sloan, RHP, Mariners
Underwent season-ending eye procedure
The 19-year-old underwent an eye procedure that will only sideline him for 2-3 weeks, according to the Mariners. But given the timing, that will end Sloan's very strong first full pro season. The right-hander, the 55th overall pick in the 2024 Draft, reached High-A down the stretch after pitching to a 3.44 ERA and 77-15 K/BB in 18 starts at Single-A. (Last updated: Sept. 7)
No. 35 Bryce Rainer, SS, Tigers
Injury: Dislocated right shoulder
Expected return: 2026
Detroit's 2024 first-round pick will undergo season-ending surgery after dislocating his shoulder diving back to first base in a June 3 game for Single-A Lakeland. He slashed .288/.383/.448 with a 134 wRC+ in 35 games this season. Rainer is expected to be a full participant in Spring Training. (Last updated: June 6)
No. 54 Travis Sykora, RHP, Nationals
Injury: Torn UCL
Expected return: Potentially late 2026
After an MRI unveiled a torn UCL, the right-hander will undergo UCL reconstruction in two weeks, the club announced. Sykora left his July 5 start after one inning due to lower right triceps soreness and has not pitched in a game since. The 21-year-old had been one of the Minors most dominant pitchers this season, registering a 1.79 ERA across 12 starts and reaching Double-A. (Last updated: July 28)
No. 60 Mike Sirota, OF, Dodgers
Injury: Right knee
Expected return: 2026
Sirota has been sidelined since exiting High-A Great Lakes' July 5 game after an awkward slide in the sixth inning. The Loons placed him on the 7-day injured list and transferred him to the 60-day IL on July 13. Acquired in the Gavin Lux deal last winter, the 2024 third-rounder performed very well in his first season in the Dodgers' system, producing a .333/.452/.616 slash line with 13 home runs in 59 games across Single-A and High-A.

No. 76 Theo Gillen, OF, Rays
Injury: Left middle finger fracture
Expected return: 2026
After calf and oblique injuries sidelined him earlier this season, Tampa Bay's 2024 first-rounder has landed on the injured list again, this time with a broken middle finger on his left hand. When on the field, it's been a strong first foray into pro ball for Gillen, who led the Carolina League in on-base percentage (.433) by a considerable margin at the time of injury. A gifted runner, the 19-year-old has been successful on 36 of 39 stolen-base attempts and posted a 150 wRC+ in 73 games for Single-A Charleston. (Last updated: Aug. 15)
No. 80 Jarlin Susana, RHP, Nationals
Injury: Right triceps soreness
Susana underwent successful surgery on his right lat muscle last week. The 21-year-old was diagnosed with right triceps soreness after he exited his Aug. 30 outing for Double-A Harrisburg in the second inning. Susana was shaking his right arm following a pitch, and left the mound in obvious discomfort. The 6-foot-6 hulrer sustained a Grade 1 UCL sprain in his pitching elbow in May but rehabbed the injury before returning to make eight starts this summer. He was up to 57 strikeouts across 30 1/3 innings since his return and had hit as high as 103 mph on ballpark radar guns on multiple occasions. (Last updated: Sept. 15)
