Stay up-to-date with all the latest news on injured players across Major League Baseball.
Francisco Lindor, Mets
The Mets are hopeful that Lindor will take the next step this week in his return from surgery on his left hand, but regardless of when the shortstop is able to start hitting again, manager Carlos Mendoza is confident that he will be ready for Opening Day.
Corbin Carroll and Merrill Kelly, D-backs
Carroll, who has recently begun hitting with both hands on the bat after undergoing right hand surgery on Feb. 11, appears on track to be ready for Opening Day.
Kelly (intercostal nerve irritation) played catch on March 1 without problem and is optimistic about being able to pitch at the back end of the rotation to start the season.
Rafael Devers and Harrison Bader, Giants
Devers was scratched from the Giants' lineup against the Dodgers on Feb. 27 due to left hamstring tightness. He will rest for 2-4 days as of Feb. 28.
Bader left the Giants' Feb. 27 game with a right thumb contusion. He will not hit until at least March 2.
Blake Snell, Dodgers
Snell, who slow-played his offseason throwing program due to lingering left shoulder discomfort, has only played catch out to about 90 feet over the first two weeks of camp. His chances of being ready for Opening Day are "probably zero," manager Dave Roberts said Feb. 28.
Joe Ryan and Royce Lewis, Twins
Ryan (back inflammation) will throw a bullpen session on Feb. 28 and could get into a game soon after the team's March 2 off-day. Ryan will not pitch during pool play of the World Baseball Classic, but remains eligible and hopeful to pitch if Team USA advances to the knockout stage.
Lewis was scratched from the Twins' lineup on Feb. 26 "out of an abundance of caution" after experiencing right side tightness. His MRI came back clean.
Cody Bellinger, Clarke Schmidt, Cam Schlittler, Anthony Volpe and Oswaldo Cabrera, Yankees
Bellinger's "back went out on him," Yankees manager Aaron Boone said Feb. 28, an issue similar to one Bellinger faced early in 2025. Bellinger is expected to return to the lineup March 3.
Schmidt (Tommy John surgery) is tossing at distances of up to 90 feet on flat ground as of Feb. 27. He is tentatively scheduled to begin throwing bullpens in late March and could face hitters in April or May.
Schlittler (left lat/midsection discomfort) faced hitters in live batting practice Feb. 25, throwing approximately 25 pitches. He could pitch in Grapefruit League games during the first week of March, and he is expected to be ready for the start of the season, Boone said.
Volpe (left shoulder labrum tear) has resumed hitting drills, including tee-and-toss exercises, as of Feb. 25. He is participating in all defensive and baserunning drills but will not dive until April.
Cabrera (recovery from left ankle surgery) is participating in most drills during Spring Training and is “getting close” to game action.
Zack Wheeler, Orion Kerkering and Aidan Miller, Phillies
On Feb. 26, Wheeler threw his first bullpen session since undergoing thoracic outlet decompression surgery on Sept. 23, throwing 21 pitches -- all fastballs -- at 80-85 percent effort. Manager Rob Thomson said Wheeler's session could mark the beginning of a six-week ramp-up to “possibly” make him big league game ready by the end of it.
Kerkering (Grade 1 right hamstring strain) threw his first bullpen session on Feb. 28.
Miller, MLB Pipeline's No. 23 overall prospect, is still sidelined by a recurring back issue. It’s unclear if he will play in any Grapefruit League games or be ready for Triple-A Lehigh Valley’s season opener on March 27.
Bryce Miller and J.P. Crawford, Mariners
Miller is dealing with left oblique inflammation and will be sidelined from throwing through the weekend of Feb. 28-March 1, then could begin playing light catch after. He received a platelet rich plasma shot on Feb. 27 after undergoing imaging that revealed the issue, which he experienced during the first inning of his Feb. 26 Cactus League start. General manager Justin Hollander said Miller will be re-evaluated on March 7.
Crawford (right shoulder soreness) was scheduled to take live at-bats on the back fields Feb. 28 and is expected to make his Cactus League debut at DH on March 3. If all goes well, he'll be back at shortstop the week of March 8.
Kyle Stowers and Thomas White, Marlins
Stowers, who was scratched from the Marlins' Feb. 28 lineup to undergo imaging for right hamstring tightness, has a "very minor" right hamstring strain, according to manager Clayton McCollough. The Marlins expect to have him back in the lineup within one to two weeks.
White, the Marlins' top prospect, sustained a Grade 1 right oblique strain and will be out three to four weeks, preventing him from appearing in another Spring Training game.
Troy Melton, Tigers
Melton (right elbow inflammation) will not throw for 1-2 weeks and is unlikely to be ready for Opening Day. He said Feb. 28 he wasn't too concerned the injury would be long term.
Shane Bieber, Blue Jays
Bieber (right forearm fatigue) is still throwing on flat ground from 120 feet as of Feb. 28. While everything is still going according to plan, it will be difficult to chart much of a timeline until Bieber begins throwing off a mound, which should happen at some point in the coming weeks.
Josh Jung and Justin Foscue, Rangers
Jung has a Grade 1 adductor strain and will be sidelined for at least 10 days, manager Skip Schumaker said Feb. 28.
Foscue has a right hamstring strain and will also miss about 10 days, Schumaker said.
