Stay up-to-date with all the latest news on injured players across Major League Baseball.
Jeremy Peña and Josh Hader, Astros
Peña suffered a fracture in the tip of his right ring finger playing for the Dominican Republic in a March 4 exhibition game against the Tigers. He will be re-evaluated in two weeks and will stay with the Astros while he recovers, meaning he will miss the World Baseball Classic.
After reporting biceps soreness during a bullpen session in early February, Hader was close to throwing his first bullpen session as of March 3.
Hunter Greene, Reds
Greene (right elbow stiffness) will undergo an MRI on March 6 and will not throw until at least March 10.
Francisco Lindor and Nolan McLean, Mets
Lindor played catch on March 3 for the first time since undergoing surgery to repair a stress reaction in his left hamate bone last month, a significant event as he works to be ready for the start of the season.
McLean's World Baseball Classic experience was delayed by a few days after the Mets pitcher experienced what manager Carlos Mendoza called “some vertigo-like symptoms” last week. McLean threw four innings in a Minor League scrimmage on March 4 and will meet with the Mets training staff to determine his next steps.
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) had a cortisone and lidocaine injection and was scheduled to throw a bullpen session March 5. He is optimistic about being able to pitch at the back end of the rotation to start the season.
Brandon Woodruff and Quinn Priester, Brewers
Woodruff (right lat strain) threw live batting practice Feb. 23 and March 1 and is slated for his Cactus League debut March 7. He's healthy, manager Pat Murphy said, but Woodruff may not be ready by Opening Day.
The Brewers are considering sending Priester (right wrist soreness) to a specialist for more information about the source of his lingering discomfort, Murphy said March 5.
Gavin Stone and Blake Snell, Dodgers
Stone experienced discomfort in his surgically repaired right shoulder last week after tossing a scoreless inning in his Cactus League debut and later throwing a bullpen session. Imaging on his shoulder revealed inflammation, but no structural damage, manager Dave Roberts said on March 3. Stone will be shut down from throwing for at least a couple weeks, after which he'll be re-evaluated.
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.
Rafael Devers, Giants
Devers was scratched from the Giants' lineup against the Dodgers on Feb. 27 due to left hamstring tightness. As of March 4, he had been progressing in baseball activities.
Cedric Mullins and Gavin Lux, Rays
Mullins was scratched from the Rays' March 4 starting lineup after tweaking his back during a pregame workout. He was receiving treatment and improving as of March 5 but is "probably not gonna play for a little bit," manager Kevin Cash said.
Lux (overall soreness) took 25-30 swings in the batting cage on March 3 and has had "three really good days" since then, Cash said March 5. His status for Opening Day is not in question.
Andrew Kittredge, Jackson Holliday and Félix Bautista, Orioles
Kittredge has been dealing with right shoulder inflammation and has a "low probability" of being ready for Opening Day, manager Craig Albernaz said on March 4.
On March 5, Holliday (right hamate bone fracture) will swing a bat using both hands for the first time since undergoing surgery Feb. 12.
Bautista (right shoulder surgery) threw off flat ground for the first time on March 3. If Bautista pitches this year, it is unlikely to be before September.
Josh Lowe and Robert Stephenson, Angels
Lowe (left oblique discomfort) believes he'll be ready for Opening Day. He's been able to run without any issues but hasn't started any rotational movements as of March 5.
Stephenson (right elbow inflammation) is scheduled to face hitters on March 6 and expects to be ready for Opening Day.
Joe Ryan, Twins
Ryan (back inflammation) 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. He was expected to throw live batting practice on March 4 and will likely make his Spring training debut March 9.
Zack Wheeler, Orion Kerkering and Aidan Miller, Phillies
Wheeler (right upper extremity blood clot) threw his third bullpen session on March 4.
Kerkering (Grade 1 right hamstring strain) threw his second bullpen session on March 4.
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, Mariners
Miller is dealing with left oblique inflammation and was sidelined from throwing through the weekend of Feb. 28-March 1. 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.
Kyle Stowers and Thomas White, Marlins
Stowers (right hamstring strain) took 30 swings and played catch on March 1.
White, the Marlins' top prospect, suffered a Grade 1 right oblique strain on Feb. 26 and will be out three to four weeks, preventing him from appearing in another Spring Training game.
