Stay up-to-date with all the latest news on injured players across Major League Baseball.
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. Though he first reported the issue on Feb. 12, the righty says he's been dealing with the issue for a few weeks.
Pablo López, Twins
López ended his live batting practice session early on Feb. 16 after reporting elbow soreness following the second pitch of his third simulated inning. He is scheduled to receive further imaging.
Tommy Edman, Dodgers
Edman (ankle) will not be ready for Opening Day as he recovers from offseason surgery, manager Dave Roberts said on Feb. 16. Though Edman is taking swings, Roberts stressed that the team is taking a more "methodical" approach in Edman's recovery.
Corbin Carroll, Corbin Burnes and Andrew Saalfrank, D-backs
Carroll suffered a broken right hamate bone during a live batting practice session on Feb. 10 and will miss significant time this spring, a source told MLB.com. Carroll, who was scheduled to undergo surgery on Feb. 11, had been in line to play for Team USA in the World Baseball Classic, but the injury will prevent that.
Burnes (Tommy John surgery recovery) hopes to return around the All-Star break, he said Feb. 10.
Saalfrank underwent shoulder surgery Feb. 9 and will miss the 2026 season, according to MLB.com's Steve Gilbert.
Francisco Lindor and A.J. Minter, Mets
Lindor underwent surgery to repair a stress reaction in the hamate bone of his left hand on Feb. 11. He's expected to be sidelined for six weeks, but is optimistic about being in the lineup on Opening Day on March 26.
Minter (left lat surgery) entered Spring Training about a month behind other pitchers and could return by early May.
Josh Hader, Astros
Hader, who missed the final two months of last season with a left shoulder capsule strain, had to pause his offseason throwing program about 10 days ago because of arm soreness. He was diagnosed with biceps tendinitis and resumed his throwing program on Feb. 11.
Spencer Schwellenbach, Sean Murphy, Grant Holmes, Reynaldo López and Hurston Waldrep, Braves
Schwellenbach was placed on the 60-day injured list Feb. 10 with right elbow inflammation, meaning he will miss at least the first two months of the regular season. Schwellenbach developed discomfort in late January, and with tests showing no UCL damage, the Braves are hopeful he is just dealing with bone spurs in an elbow he fractured during the 2025 season.
Murphy (right hip labral tear) was cleared to run on Feb. 10, but he and the Braves still aren’t willing to target a timeframe for his return. Atlanta is hoping Murphy can return in May, but it will depend on his activity level over the next few weeks.
Holmes (partially torn UCL) threw a side session when the Braves opened Spring Training on Feb. 10. He is aiming to be on the pitching staff to begin the 2026 season.
López (right shoulder inflammation) reported to Spring Training and is lined up to begin the season in Atlanta’s rotation.
Waldrep felt soreness in his throwing elbow on Feb. 13. A subsequent MRI revealed no ligament damage but did show loose bodies. Waldrep is scheduled to see Dr. Keith Meister on Monday, Feb. 16.
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.
Anthony Santander, Shane Bieber and Bowden Francis, Blue Jays
Santander will undergo left shoulder labral surgery and will miss 5-6 months, manager John Schneider said Feb. 10.
Bieber's ramp-up “will be a little bit delayed” as he deals with right forearm fatigue, Schneider said.
Francis will undergo UCL reconstruction surgery and miss the entire 2026 season, Schneider said.
Zack Wheeler, Phillies
Wheeler, who underwent thoracic outlet decompression surgery on Sept. 23, is not expected to be ready for Opening Day, Phillies manager Rob Thomson said Feb. 9, "but it's not going to be too far behind that."
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.
Reese Olson and Jackson Jobe, Tigers
Olson underwent a right shoulder labral repair on Feb. 2 with Dr. Keith Meister and will miss the 2026 season.
Jobe (Tommy John surgery recovery) was placed on the 60-day IL on Feb. 10. He is expected to return during the second half of 2026.
Kris Bryant and Seth Halvorsen, Rockies
Bryant (lumbar degenerative disk disease) was placed on the 60-day IL on Feb. 10. He continues to undergo various treatments and therapies for a process currently focused on short-term health goals rather than baseball activities. Bryant's most recent MLB appearance was April 12.
Halvorsen (right flexor strain) is expected to be full go at the start of Spring Training after being shut down in August.
Triston Casas and Romy Gonzalez, Red Sox
Casas (ruptured left patellar tendon) has been cleared for all outdoor activities as of Feb. 9, but it's unclear if he will be ready for Opening Day.
Gonzalez's left shoulder, which he tweaked late in 2025, started bothering him again when he started hitting in early January. He recently had a PRP injection and hopes to be ready for Opening Day.
Joe Musgrove and Jason Adam, Padres
Musgrove (Tommy John surgery recovery) said he had a "normal offseason" progression after missing all of 2025 while rehabbing. He resumed throwing bullpen sessions in late December and has been on the mound regularly, throwing all his pitches.
Adam (ruptured left quadriceps tendon) is throwing bullpen sessions on what he said was his usual spring progression. He could return by Opening Day or shortly thereafter.
Lars Nootbaar, Cardinals
Nootbaar, who underwent surgery on both heels on Oct. 7, is expected to miss at least the first couple weeks of the regular season.
