Justin Steele and Cody Bellinger, Cubs

Steele (left hamstring strain) threw 47 pitches in 2 1/3 innings in an extended spring game on Friday in Arizona. The lefty will continue his rehab program there for now. More >

Bellinger was placed on the injured list Wednesday with two rib fractures. The outfielder left Tuesday's game against the Astros after sustaining the injury in a collision with the outfield wall. More >

Wade Miley, Brewers

Further testing of Miley’s sore left elbow revealed an unfortunate diagnosis: The 37-year-old has a torn UCL and needs Tommy John surgery which will end his season. More >

Anthony Rendon, Angels

Rendon was diagnosed with a high-grade partial tear in his left hamstring. Rendon said there is no timetable for his return, but it’s expected to be a lengthy absence. More >

DJ LeMahieu, Yankees

LeMahieu (right foot fracture) was returned from his Minor League rehab assignment Thursday. He will be shut down for a week while he undergoes treatment for soreness and will be evaluated on a "week-to-week basis". More >

Jackson Merrill, Padres

Merrill missed his second straight game on Friday with right groin tightness. Manager Mike Shildt said it was more of a precaution, though, and Merrill could return Saturday or even pinch-hit Friday night. More >

Walker Buehler, Dodgers

Buehler (Tommy John surgery) made his fifth rehab start -- his fourth with Triple-A Oklahoma City -- on Wednesday and threw 86 pitches. The Dodgers have decided to have Buehler throw at least one more rehab start next week and after that, there will be a real discussion about his return, which could come sometime next homestand. More >

Kodai Senga and Tylor Megill, Mets

Senga (right shoulder capsule strain) threw a multi-inning bullpen session Thursday at Citi Field and is scheduled to throw live batting practice on Monday. The Mets still don't have a firm timetable on Senga, who is not eligible to come off the 60-day injured list until May 27.

Megill (right shoulder strain) is set to make a two-inning rehab start for High-A Brooklyn on Saturday, which puts him on track to be fully stretched out by the middle of May. More >

Colin Poche, Rays

The Rays placed Poche on the 15-day injured list with mid-back tightness on Friday. More >

J.P. Crawford, Mariners

Crawford was placed on the 10-day injured list with a Grade 1 right oblique strain on Thursday. More >

Vaughn Grissom, Brayan Bello, Rafael Devers and Nick Pivetta, Red Sox

Red Sox manager Alex Cora said that the plan is for Grissom (right hamstring strain) to play nine innings on Saturday and Sunday in Minor League rehab games for Triple-A Worcester. If that goes well, there's a chance he could make his debut during the three-game series at Fenway against the Giants that starts next Tuesday.

Bello was placed on the 15-day injured list with right lat tightness on Wednesday. More >

Devers, who was expected to play third base on Thursday, is still experiencing lingering discomfort in his left knee and will remain at DH at least until Saturday, per Cora.

Pivetta (right elbow flexor strain) is scheduled to throw a live batting practice session at Fenway Park on Saturday, after which he could leave on a Minor League rehab assignment. More >

Max Scherzer, Rangers

Scherzer (back surgery) joined Triple-A Round Rock on Wednesday to make his first rehab start against the Salt Lake Bees. He tossed 2 1/3 innings, giving up three runs, two of which were solo homers. More >

Zack Gelof, Athletics

Gelof was placed on the 10-day injured list with a left oblique strain Thursday, retroactive to Wednesday. More >

Bowden Francis, Blue Jays

Francis was placed on the 15-day IL Thursday with right forearm extensor tendinitis. More >

Alec Marsh, Royals

Marsh, who was hit by a comebacker on his right arm in his Wednesday start against the Blue Jays, was placed on the 15-day IL Thursday with a right elbow contusion. X-rays on the arm came back negative. More >

Jake Fraley, Reds

Fraley was out of the lineup again Friday due to an illness. More >

Blake Snell, Giants

Snell was scheduled to start Wednesday against the Mets, but he was placed on the injured list with a left adductor strain prior to the game. More >

Carlos Correa and Jhoan Duran, Twins

Correa (mild right intercostal strain) said Wednesday that he was swinging and participating in baseball activity, and there's some possibility that he could return during the Twins' next road trip without a rehab assignment if all tracks well and he checks out well over the weekend.

Duran (right oblique strain) will make his second appearance with Triple-A St. Paul on Saturday. More >

Sean Murphy, Braves

Murphy (left oblique tightness) has started to catch bullpens and is throwing at full strength, but he still may be at least a week away from being cleared to begin swinging a bat. More >

John Means, Orioles

Means (left elbow) made his fifth rehab start for Triple-A Norfolk on Tuesday. Orioles manager Brandon Hyde said Wednesday that it's possible Means could make his next start with the O's, which could potentially be on Sunday vs. the A's at Camden Yards. More >

Lane Thomas and Josiah Gray, Nationals

Thomas was placed on the 10-day injured list Wednesday with an MCL sprain in his left knee.

Gray (flexor strain) has played catch up to 75 feet, and the Nationals hope he will be able to throw off the mound during their road series in Texas next week. More >

Gavin Williams, Guardians

After his three-inning start in Arizona, Williams experienced the same soreness in the back of his right elbow that shut him down during Spring Training. He flew to Cleveland to meet with the medical staff and received external opinions. It was determined that receiving an anti-inflammatory injection on Wednesday would be the best path forward. He will not throw for seven days. More >
