Greene has bone chips and loose bodies in his right elbow and was scheduled to undergo arthroscopic surgery on March 11. With a timeline of 14-16 weeks, he's expected to be out until July.

Ferguson will start the season on the injured list due to a mild right oblique strain. He will not pitch for at least two weeks and will undergo a second MRI in Cincinnati after camp breaks.

Corbin Carroll and Merrill Kelly, D-backs

Carroll (right hand surgery) made his Spring Training debut March 11, leading off and playing designated hitter.

Kelly (intercostal nerve irritation) threw a 26-pitch bullpen session on March 5 and followed with a 23-pitch live BP session on March 8. He is scheduled to start his first Cactus League game on March 13 and pitch one inning.

Romy Gonzalez, Patrick Sandoval, Kutter Crawford and Triston Casas, Red Sox

Gonzalez was placed on the 60-day injured list March 12, meaning he will miss at least the first two months of the season. The Red Sox announced Gonzalez underwent an arthroscopic debridement procedure on his left shoulder.

Sandoval (left UCL repair) will throw an extended bullpen session on March 12 and resume facing hitters in the week of March 16.

Crawford (right wrist subsheath tear) will throw two innings of live batting practice on March 12 and could return to game action soon after.

Casas (ruptured left patellar tendon) will not progress enough to play Grapefruit League games during Spring Training.

Quinn Priester and Logan Henderson, Brewers

A specialist diagnosed the source of Priester's ongoing wrist discomfort as “in that [thoracic outlet syndrome] family,” according to Milwaukee manager Pat Murphy, who confirmed March 12 that Priester would open the regular season on the injured list. The Brewers are hopeful the issue can be treated without surgery.

Henderson (Milwaukee's No. 7 prospect) was scratched from his scheduled start against the Dodgers on March 9 due to mild right elbow soreness. He was scheduled to throw off a mound March 12 and could return to game action March 15.

Francisco Lindor, Mets

Lindor (left hand surgery) played four defensive innings in a Minor League game on March 10. He came out of his first game action this spring feeling "really good" and hopes to hit in a Minor League game soon.

On March 9, Mets president of baseball operations David Stearns said that Lindor remains on track to be ready for Opening Day, though he'll have to play some Grapefruit League games first.

Kyle Teel and Brooks Baldwin, White Sox

Teel suffered a right hamstring strain during Italy's World Baseball Classic game against the United States on March 10, White Sox general manager Chris Getz said March 11. He could be out 4-6 weeks.

Baldwin (right elbow soreness) remained out of the White Sox lineup through March 11 after hurting himself throwing to bases March 6, according to manager Will Venable, who described Baldwin as day to day.

Bryce Miller, Mariners

Miller (left side oblique inflammation) cut short his first full-effort bullpen session on March 11 due to discomfort in the area. He is still cleared to play catch and will attempt another touch-and-feel bullpen session in the March 14-15 range.

Carlos Rodón, Anthony Volpe and Gerrit Cole, Yankees

Rodón (left elbow surgery) threw 20 pitches in live batting practice on March 9. The Yankees expect to have him built up to 40-50 pitches by Opening Day, leaving open the possibility of an April return.

Volpe (left shoulder labrum tear) is hitting overhand tosses and participating in all defensive and baserunning drills as of March 9. He could advance to live at-bats on or around April 1.

Cole (right elbow ligament tear) threw two innings of live batting practice on March 6.

Joe Ryan and David Festa, Twins

Ryan (back inflammation) made his spring debut on March 10, throwing 48 pitches over three scoreless innings against the Rays.

Festa (right shoulder impingement) is progressing through workouts and has begun throwing a medicine ball with no issues. He hopes to resume throwing the week of March 16.

Blake Snell, Kiké Hernández and Hyeseong Kim, Dodgers

Snell threw a light bullpen session for the first time this spring on March 12.

Hernández (recovery from left elbow surgery) is working through a swing progression, hitting flips and off a tee.

Kim suffered an apparent left hand injury while stealing a base during World Baseball Classic pool play on March 8 and was out of the lineup on March 10. Per Dodgers manager Dave Roberts, the injury is not considered serious.

José Berríos, Shane Bieber, Yimi García and Ricky Tiedemann, Blue Jays

Berríos hoped to join Puerto Rico for the World Baseball Classic quarterfinals, but an MRI showed inflammation in his right elbow. No ligaments are involved, and Berríos will keep throwing for now.

Bieber (right forearm fatigue) is working in a couple of "heavy" throw days each week, but he has yet to return to the mound. It will remain difficult to chart a timeline until that happens.

García (right elbow surgery) is also working through some "heavy" throw days each week, but he has not thrown off a mound yet.

Tiedemann (left elbow soreness) was scheduled to begin throwing again March 10, which is a step in the right direction after being shut down the past couple of weeks.

Joe Musgrove, Bryan Hoeing, Will Wagner and Sung-Mun Song, Padres

Musgrove (Tommy John surgery) is being slow-played this spring, with manager Craig Stammen saying Musgrove was “in a little bit of a holding pattern” on March 12.

Hoeing will undergo surgery to repair the flexor tendon in his right elbow and will miss the 2026 season.

Wagner suffered a pulled oblique in early March and as a result has only appeared in five Cactus League games.

Stammen said March 12 that Song (right oblique tightness) was doing defensive drills and baserunning and that he was “probably getting close” to swinging the bat again.

Hunter Gaddis, Guardians

Gaddis (right forearm tightness) threw off a mound in a touch-and-feel bullpen session on March 12.

Kyle Stowers and Adam Mazur, Marlins

Barring a setback, Stowers (right hamstring strain) is scheduled to start in the outfield on March 14.

Mazur (right elbow discomfort) underwent UCL reconstruction with an internal brace (hybrid) on March 11. The surgery has a recovery period of 13-14 months.

Yandy Díaz and Richie Palacios, Rays

Díaz (left hand soreness) resumed indoor cage work with light swings on March 10 and could return to the lineup on March 13.

Palacios (low back tightness) went through drills on March 10 and could return to the lineup after the club's March 12 off-day.

Ryan Mountcastle and Jackson Holliday, Orioles

Mountcastle left the Orioles' March 11 game in the eighth inning after getting hit on the right hand by a pitch. X-rays were negative.

Holliday (right hamate bone fracture) is hitting two-handed off a tee as of March 7.

Josh Lowe and Ben Joyce, Angels

Lowe (left oblique discomfort) faced live pitching on March 11 and is near playing in Minor League games before making his return to Cactus League action.

Joyce (right shoulder surgery) has been throwing bullpen sessions without any issues with his latest one coming on March 10, but he appears likely to start the season on the injured list.

Spencer Torkelson and Troy Melton, Tigers

Torkelson suffered a right forearm contusion when he was hit by a pitch during reliever Burch Smith's simulated game March 10.

Melton (right elbow inflammation) is yet to resume throwing. He was placed on the 60-day IL on March 10.

Michael Massey and Stephen Kolek, Royals

Massey suffered a low-grade left calf strain during a defensive play on March 6. He was shut down from game action for a week but has been able to participate in some baseball activity as of March 10.

Kolek (Grade 1+ left oblique strain) began playing catch again March 5 and is up to 60 feet.

Joey Wentz and Sean Murphy, Braves

Wentz suffered a torn right ACL in a collision at first base on March 8 and will miss the entire 2026 season.

Murphy (right hip labral tear) took batting practice on the field on March 9.

Zack Wheeler, Orion Kerkering and Aidan Miller, Phillies

Wheeler (right upper extremity blood clot) threw his fifth bullpen session on March 10.

Kerkering (Grade 1 right hamstring strain) threw his fourth bullpen session on March 10.

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.
