Stay up-to-date with all the latest news on injured players across Major League Baseball.
Francisco Lindor and A.J. Minter, Mets
Lindor was being evaluated on Feb. 10 for a stress reaction in his hamate bone, which he began experiencing over the past couple of days, president of baseball operations David Stearns said. The injury could require surgery, which would carry a six-week recovery period that could sideline Lindor for Opening Day on March 26.
Minter (left lat surgery) entered Spring Training about a month behind other pitchers and could return by early May.
Anthony Santander, Shane Bieber and Bowden Francis, Blue Jays
Santander will undergo left shoulder labral surgery and will miss 5-6 months, manager John Schneider said Feb. 10.
Bieber's ramp-up “will be a little bit delayed” as he deals with right forearm fatigue, Schneider said.
Francis will undergo UCL reconstruction surgery and miss the entire 2026 season, Schneider said.
Zack Wheeler, Phillies
Wheeler, who underwent thoracic outlet decompression surgery on Sept. 23, is not expected to be ready for Opening Day, Phillies manager Rob Thomson said Feb. 9, "but it's not going to be too far behind that."
Spencer Schwellenbach, Sean Murphy, Grant Holmes and Reynaldo López, Braves
Schwellenbach was placed on the 60-day injured list Feb. 10 with right elbow inflammation, meaning he will miss at least the first two months of the regular season. Schwellenbach developed discomfort in late January, and with tests showing no UCL damage, the Braves are hopeful he is just dealing with bone spurs in an elbow he fractured during the 2025 season.
Murphy (right hip labral tear) was cleared to run on Feb. 10, but he and the Braves still aren’t willing to target a timeframe for his return. Atlanta is hoping Murphy can return in May, but it will depend on his activity level over the next few weeks.
Holmes (right elbow inflammation) threw a side session when the Braves opened Spring Training on Feb. 10. He is aiming to be on the pitching staff to begin the 2026 season.
López (right shoulder inflammation) reported to Spring Training and is lined up to begin the season in Atlanta’s rotation.
Corbin Burnes and Andrew Saalfrank, D-backs
Burnes (Tommy John surgery recovery) hopes to return around the All-Star break, he said Feb. 10.
Saalfrank underwent shoulder surgery Feb. 9 and will miss the 2026 season, according to MLB.com's Steve Gilbert.
Reese Olson and Jackson Jobe, Tigers
Olson underwent a right shoulder labral repair on Feb. 2 with Dr. Keith Meister and will miss the 2026 season.
Jobe (Tommy John surgery recovery) was placed on the 60-day IL on Feb. 10. He is expected to return during the second half of 2026.
Kris Bryant and Seth Halvorsen, Rockies
Bryant (lumbar degenerative disk disease) was placed on the 60-day IL on Feb. 10. He continues to undergo various treatments and therapies for a process currently focused on short-term health goals rather than baseball activities. Bryant's most recent MLB appearance was April 12.
Halvorsen (right flexor strain) is expected to be full go at the start of Spring Training after being shut down in August.
Triston Casas and Romy Gonzalez, Red Sox
Casas (ruptured left patellar tendon) has been cleared for all outdoor activities as of Feb. 9, but it's unclear if he will be ready for Opening Day.
Gonzalez's left shoulder, which he tweaked late in 2025, started bothering him again when he started hitting in early January. He recently had a PRP injection and hopes to be ready for Opening Day.
Joe Musgrove and Jason Adam, Padres
Musgrove (Tommy John surgery recovery) said he had a "normal offseason" progression after missing all of 2025 while rehabbing. He resumed throwing bullpen sessions in late December and has been on the mound regularly, throwing all his pitches.
Adam (ruptured left quadriceps tendon) is throwing bullpen sessions on what he said was his usual spring progression. He could return by Opening Day or shortly thereafter.
Grayson Rodriguez, Ben Joyce and Robert Stephenson, Angels
Rodriguez (right elbow bone spurs) has been throwing with no issues, per manager Kurt Suzuki, but will have to earn his rotation spot.
Joyce (right shoulder surgery) had been playing catch as of Feb. 10, but there's still a chance he won't be ready for the start of the season.
Stephenson (right elbow inflammation) did not need surgery and has been throwing with no problems this offseason, according to Suzuki.
Josiah Gray and Trevor Williams, Nationals
Gray, who underwent Tommy John surgery with an internal brace in July 2024, entered 2026 Spring Training healthy with the goal of being ready for the start of the season. He appeared in 5 2/3 innings of rehab appearances at the end of 2025.
Williams, who is recovering from a July 2025 internal brace procedure, was placed on the 60-day IL on Feb. 10. He is slated to start throwing off the mound in mid-February.
Lars Nootbaar, Cardinals
Nootbaar, who underwent surgery on both heels on Oct. 7, is expected to miss at least the first couple weeks of the regular season.
Jason Foley and Sam Hentges, Giants
Foley (right shoulder surgery) started a bullpen progression Feb. 10.
Hentges (right knee surgery) threw a bullpen session Feb. 10.
Manuel Rodríguez, Rays
Rodríguez was placed on the 60-day IL on Feb. 10 as he recovers from an Aug. 8 surgery to repair a right elbow flexor strain.
