Glasnow (right shoulder inflammation) threw two simulated innings against Minor League hitters on June 17 at Dodger Stadium. Per manager Dave Roberts, his next step could be beginning a rehab assignment.

Tylor Megill, Brett Baty, Mark Vientos and Frankie Montas, Mets

The Mets placed Megill on the 15-day injured list with a right elbow sprain on June 17.

Baty (right groin tightness) tweaked his groin pursuing a foul ball in the Mets' June 15 loss to the Rays. He received treatment on the team's June 16 off-day and performed baseball activities on the field June 17, but remained out of the starting lineup through June 18.

Vientos (low-grade right hamstring strain) began a rehab assignment with Triple-A Syracuse on June 17.

Montas (high-grade right lat strain) will make one more start on June 18, after which his rehab window will expire, forcing the Mets to make a decision.

Imanaga (left hamstring strain) was slated for a bullpen session in Arizona on June 17 before likely getting the start for Triple-A Iowa on June 20.

Nathan Eovaldi and Josh Smith, Rangers

Eovaldi (right triceps fatigue) threw another bullpen session June 17 at Globe Life Field. The plan is for him to throw in live BP on June 21 at Pittsburgh, then return to the big league rotation if all goes well.

Manager Bruce Bochy said Smith is dealing with a “hamstring thing,” which he felt against the White Sox on June 15. The Rangers don’t think it’ll require an IL stint, but he remained out of the lineup through June 18.

Luis Gil, Marcus Stroman and Luke Weaver, Yankees

Gil (right lat strain) is scheduled to throw a live batting practice session on June 21.

Stroman (left knee inflammation) threw 3 1/3 innings in his most recent rehab start with Double-A Somerset on June 18.

Weaver (left hamstring strain) tossed a simulated game of four "outs" on June 17 at Yankee Stadium. The club will decide his next steps around June 19. Weaver could be activated without a rehab assignment.

Alex Bregman and Jordan Hicks, Red Sox

Bregman (right quad strain) was scheduled for testing on June 18 to give the Red Sox a better idea of his recovery timeline.

Hicks (right toe inflammation) will throw live batting practice on June 19. The next step will be a brief rehab assignment.

Gabriel Moreno, D-backs

Moreno (right hand contusion) has been playing through the injury since sustaining it during the team's June 6-8 series against the Reds. He is day-to-day.

Thairo Estrada, Rockies

Estrada (right hand contusion) was given the day off on June 18 after being hit by a pitch on June 17.

Jorge Soler, Angels

Soler (back stiffness) was out of the lineup on June 18 and is considered day to day.

Shane McClanahan, Rays

McClanahan (left triceps nerve irritation) met with Dr. Gregory J. Pearl in Texas on June 17, and "all of his reports were good" during that visit. He played catch from 125 feet on June 17, and the Rays plan to have him resume bullpen sessions soon.

Cole Ragans, Royals

Ragans (left rotator cuff strain) was expected to receive a second opinion on his shoulder June 17 in Texas, which will help determine how long he'll be shut down from throwing.

Jackson Merrill and Yu Darvish, Padres

Merrill (concussion) was feeling better on June 16, two days after he sustained the injury, but the Padres still hadn't determined whether he could return as soon as he is eligible.

Darvish (right elbow inflammation) felt good after a June 14 sim game and is expected to throw another on June 20, manager Mike Shildt said.

Jerar Encarnacion, Giants

Encarnacion was placed on the IL prior to the Giants' series opener against the Guardians on June 17 with a left oblique strain.

McCullers was placed on the injured list on June 16 (retroactive to June 13) with a right foot sprain. He is expected to start throwing from flat ground by late in the week of June 16.

McCormick (left oblique strain) is "progressing very well," per manager Joe Espada, and could begin taking live at-bats late in the week of June 16. He will likely require a rehab assignment.

Ryan Jeffers, Twins

Jeffers left the June 17 game against the Reds with a right hand contusion. X-rays came back negative, but with a day game on Thursday he could be out until June 20.

Graham Ashcraft, Reds

Clase left the Blue Jays' game on June 17 in the top of the fifth inning after being hit by a pitch on his right knee in the bottom of the fourth. He was diagnosed with a right knee contusion and is not expected to need IL time.

Straw exited the Blue Jays' June 17 game after colliding with the wall in center field on a catch attempt in the top of the fifth inning. He was diagnosed with a right ankle sprain and was given the day off on June 18.

Scherzer (right thumb inflammation) threw 56 pitches over 4 1/3 innings of two-run ball with four strikeouts in his June 13 rehab outing for Triple-A Buffalo. He will make his next rehab start on June 18.
