Stay up-to-date with all the latest news on injured players across Major League Baseball.
Pablo López, Twins
López suffered "significant tearing" in the UCL in his right elbow, which will likely require Tommy John surgery. He first reported elbow soreness during his live batting practice session on Feb. 16, which was ended prematurely following the second pitch of his third simulated inning. He will receive a second opinion from Dr. Keith Meister.
Spencer Schwellenbach and Hurston Waldrep, Braves
Braves manager Walt Weiss revealed Schwellenbach underwent an elbow cleanup surgery on Feb. 18 and that Waldrep will undergo a similar procedure on Feb. 23. The Braves aren’t providing a timeline for either starting pitcher. More >
Carlos Rodón, Gerrit Cole and Cam Schlittler, Yankees
Rodón threw his fifth bullpen session on Feb. 15 as he works his way back from an offseason surgery to shave a bone spur and remove loose bodies from his elbow. He is targeting a return to the Majors in late April.
Cole threw approximately 30 pitches in his latest bullpen session on Feb. 13. The righty is preparing to face live hitters for the first time this spring after missing all of the 2025 season following Tommy John surgery.
Schlittler will not throw from a mound for at least a few days while he deals with mid-back inflammation. Although he first reported the issue on Feb. 12, the righty says he's been dealing with the issue for a few weeks.
Tommy Edman, Dodgers
Edman (right ankle) will start the season on the injured list as he recovers from offseason surgery, manager Dave Roberts said on Feb. 16. He has resumed taking swings and throwing and is also working through a running progression.
Kris Bryant, Rockies
Bryant (lumbar degenerative disk disease) was at Rockies camp on Feb. 17 but is still unable to run and will head back to his Las Vegas home to continue rehab.
Jackson Holliday, Orioles
Holliday will miss Opening Day due to a broken hamate bone in his right hand, president of baseball operations Mike Elias announced at spring camp on Feb. 11. Holliday underwent a procedure to remove the bone on Feb. 12, and his timeline for a return after Spring Training is likely to be measured in weeks, according to Elias.
Lars Nootbaar, Hunter Dobbins and Riley O'Brien, Cardinals
Nootbaar (surgery on both heels) was scheduled to arrive in camp on either Feb. 17 or Feb. 18 as the Cardinals are waiting for a specialized type of rehab equipment to arrive at their spring complex.
Dobbins (torn right ACL) is able to pitch but is being held out of agility drills. He will undergo testing on his knee on either Feb. 18 or Feb. 19, at which point the team will have a clearer idea of his next steps.
O'Brien suffered what he called a mild right calf strain while throwing a live bullpen session on Feb. 14. He hasn't thrown off a mound since, and his availability to pitch for Korea in the upcoming World Baseball Classic is in doubt.
Janson Junk and Andrew Nardi, Marlins
Junk rolled his right ankle during warmups Feb. 17 and was wearing a boot on his foot as a precaution. The pitcher said initial testing looked good, but he will see a doctor on Feb. 18 and "go from there."
Nardi (lower back inflammation) threw 30 pitches in a bullpen that included a five-minute sitdown on Feb 11. He was scheduled for live batting practice his next time out.
Edwin Uceta, Rays
Uceta experienced soreness in his right (throwing) shoulder, which will prevent him from pitching in the upcoming World Baseball Classic for his native Dominican Republic.
