Dylan Cease, Trey Yesavage, Shane Bieber and Anthony Santander, Blue Jays
Cease, who has been managing shoulder fatigue, will not make his next start as scheduled on Sept. 23. The Blue Jays are awaiting results of a Sept. 19 MRI before making any further decisions about a regular season return.
Yesavage (left meniscus surgery) is expected to return to start on Sept. 21 against the Orioles.
Bieber (right teres major inflammation) was scheduled to throw a side session on Sept. 19. He is not expected to return during the regular season but is building up in hopes of being available if the Blue Jays reach the postseason.
Santander (left shoulder labral surgery) was scheduled to play five to seven innings in the outfield for Triple-A Buffalo on Sept. 18 before serving as the DH on Sept. 19. If all goes well, he will play a full game in the outfield on Sept. 20.
Aaron Judge, Jazz Chisholm Jr. and Ryan Weathers, Yankees
Judge was placed on the 10-day injured list on Sept. 19 with a right calf strain. He could return for the final game of the regular season on Sept. 27 and is hopeful he will be back for the postseason, but the team has not yet set a timetable for his return.
Chisholm (right thumb sprain) hit on Sept. 18 for the fourth consecutive day and is “doing well,” manager Aaron Boone said.
Weathers (left forearm flexor strain) was scheduled to throw another side session on Sept. 19 but is no longer expected to return by the end of the regular season.
Blake Snell, Shohei Ohtani, Andy Pages and Roki Sasaki, Dodgers
Snell left his Sept. 16 start against the Reds after one inning with left groin tightness. He threw from 90 feet on Sept. 18 and is expected to make another start before the end of the regular season.
Ohtani (left knee and right biceps soreness) and Pages (left hand fracture) are both on track to return during the Dodgers' Sept. 22-24 series against the Padres.
Sasaki (right middle finger blister) threw four simulated innings on Sept. 16. He will likely start during the Dodgers' final home series against the Padres from Sept. 22-24.
Willson Contreras, Garrett Crochet, Aroldis Chapman and Ceddanne Rafaela, Red Sox
Contreras (bruised knuckle on right hand) was out of the lineup through Sept. 20 due to ongoing soreness. He reported improvement and remained confident he had avoided a fracture but was still unable to grip a bat.
Crochet (left shoulder inflammation) threw an up-and-down bullpen session on Sept. 19 at Fenway Park. If he recovers well, he could face hitters in the coming days.
Chapman hasn't pitched since Sept. 13 due to lat tightness. He expects to return during Boston's final homestand, which starts on Sept. 22.
Rafaela (right quad strain) is "moving quickly in the right direction," according to interim manager Chad Tracy.
Chase Burns, Reds
Burns was placed on the 15-day IL on Sept. 20 with a right groin strain, ending his 2026 season.
Shane McClanahan, Tyler Wells, Garrett Cleavinger and Manuel Rodríguez, Rays
McClanahan (left forearm tightness) had "a good day" playing catch on Sept. 18.
Wells (right forearm tightness) resumed playing catch on Sept. 19. He is still anticipating a minimum-length stay on the IL, putting him on track for a postseason return.
Cleavinger (left forearm tightness) was scheduled to begin mound work on Sept. 19 before progressing to bullpen sessions.
Rodríguez (low back strain) made his second rehab appearance with Triple-A Durham on Sept. 16, allowing two unearned runs in 1 1/3 innings and striking out two.
Steven Okert, Astros
Okert (right hamstring strain) will miss the remainder of the regular season but could potentially return during the postseason.
Brayan Rocchio and Colin Holderman, Guardians
Rocchio left the Guardians' Sept. 19 game with left leg tightness. The move was described as precautionary, and he was being re-evaluated on Sept. 20.
Holderman (right wrist inflammation) exited his Sept. 17 rehab outing with Triple-A Columbus due to discomfort in his wrist after hitting a batter and issuing two walks. He was still being evaluated as of Sept. 18.
Bryce Elder, Braves
Elder (right knee surgery) threw off a mound with reduced effort on Sept. 19 and is aiming to return early in the postseason.
Tristan Peters, White Sox
Peters left Chicago's Sept. 18 game after running into the outfield wall attempting to make a catch in the fifth inning. He was diagnosed with a left rib/shoulder contusion and was held out of the lineup through Sept. 20 due to continued soreness.
Cal Quantrill, Rangers
Quantrill left his Sept. 19 start with right lat tightness and was scheduled to have an MRI on Sept. 20.
Joe Musgrove and Jason Adam, Padres
Musgrove (Tommy John surgery) is still regularly playing catch but the Padres had not determined his next steps as of Sept. 20. If he is able to return in 2026, it would likely be in a relief role.
Adam (right shoulder strain) made his third rehab appearance with Triple-A El Paso on Sept. 18.
Ryan Helsley, Tyler O'Neill and Jackson Holliday, Orioles
Helsley (right elbow inflammation) has been shut down for the remainder of the 2026 season in order to avoid potentially rushing his recovery.
O'Neill (right shoulder inflammation) has not responded well to activity and was transferred to the 60-day IL on Sept. 19, ending his 2026 season.
Holliday was placed on the 10-day IL on Sept. 16 with left wrist inflammation. He was scheduled to visit a specialist on Sept. 19.

Williams (right shoulder strain) threw live batting practice on Sept. 17 and could come off the IL early in the week of Sept. 21.
Logan Webb and Bryce Eldridge, Giants
Webb was placed on the 15-day injured list on Sept. 18, retroactive to Sept. 15, with a right middle finger blister, ending his season.
Eldridge (head laceration) was placed in concussion protocol as a precaution on Sept. 19 and remained out of the lineup through Sept. 20.
Xavier Edwards and Pete Fairbanks, Marlins
Edwards left the Marlins' Sept. 19 game with left thumb discomfort, apparently stemming from fouling off a pitch in the seventh inning. He remained out of the lineup on Sept. 20.
Fairbanks will undergo season-ending surgery for thoracic outlet syndrome.

Verlander (left hip inflammation, left hamstring strain) faced hitters in a one-inning simulated game on Sept. 18 in Chicago, throwing about 20 pitches. He is hoping to make a final start on Sept. 26 at Comerica Park.
