Ragans underwent a UCL repair on his left elbow on July 1. Recovery is expected to take 10-12 months, placing his estimated return in mid-2027.

Perez, who is dealing with left elbow soreness, played first base on July 1 but was held out of the lineup on July 2.

Estévez (right rotator cuff strain) received an injection on July 1 after suffering a setback during his June 27 bullpen. He will be shut down for a week before being re-evaluated.

Shohei Ohtani, Will Smith, Kiké Hernández and Edwin Díaz, Dodgers

Ohtani said after his July 3 start against the Padres that he felt something in his right biceps following his six-inning outing at Dodger Stadium. The two-way superstar was scheduled to sit out Saturday's game against San Diego.

Smith (neck inflammation) will not return before the All-Star break, manager Dave Roberts said July 1. The Dodgers still believe there's no cause for long-term concern.

Hernández (left oblique strain) is making good progress as he ramps up his baseball activities, but he has not started swinging as of July 1.

Díaz (loose bodies in right elbow) could face hitters during the weekend of July 3-5 for the first time since going on the IL on April 20.

Julio Rodríguez and Victor Robles, Mariners

Rodríguez, who was hit on the back of the helmet by a throw on July 2, was placed on the 7-day concussion IL on July 3.

In the same game, Robles -- Rodríguez's replacement in center field -- was hit on the right forearm/wrist area by a 97.9 mph fastball during a third-inning plate appearance. X-rays were negative.

Carlos Rodón, Yankees

Rodón was placed on the 15-day IL on July 3 with left elbow inflammation. He will have a PRP injection and be shut down from throwing for at least a week.

Mike Trout and Logan O'Hoppe, Angels

Trout (right hamstring strain) ran at 85 percent intensity and performed his normal pregame routine on July 3. He could return before the All-Star break and potentially be able to play at the All-Star Game in Philadelphia.

O'Hoppe exited the July 3 game against the Red Sox and entered concussion protocol after being hit in the facemask by a foul ball in the third inning.

Munetaka Murakami, White Sox

Murakami (right hamstring strain) has started a running progression but will need to complete multiple days of baserunning before going on a rehab assignment, per a July 2 update.

Byron Buxton, Mick Abel, Bailey Ober and Ryan Jeffers, Twins

Buxton was diagnosed with a right hip impingement. He is day to day and remained out of the lineup through July 3.

Abel underwent arthroscopic surgery on his right elbow on July 1. The Twins sounded cautiously encouraged by how the procedure went, but there is not yet a timetable for Abel's return.

Ober (right elbow inflammation) is expected to make his second Minor League rehab start on July 4 for Triple-A St. Paul.

Jeffers (left hamate bone fracture) began a rehab assignment with Triple-A St. Paul on July 3.

Helsley was placed on the 15-day IL on July 3 (retroactive to June 30) with right elbow discomfort. He has undergone an MRI and is still considering his options.

Corey Seager and Brandon Nimmo, Rangers

Seager was placed on the 10-day injured list on July 1 with lower back inflammation, the same issue that cost him 19 games earlier this season.

Nimmo suffered a left shoulder AC joint sprain slamming into the outfield wall making a catch on June 28. He was out of the lineup through July 2, but manager Skip Schumaker said on June 30 that Nimmo is day to day and could avoid the injured list.

Randy Vásquez, Freddy Fermin and Jason Adam, Padres

Vásquez is conscious and stable after fainting at Dodger Stadium on July 2, manager Craig Stammen said. According to Stammen, Vásquez was on his way to get an X-ray on his right ankle when he fainted. He was subsequently taken to a local emergency room, where he underwent further tests. He was placed on the IL on July 3.

Fermin exited the Padres' game on July 2 and was subsequently being evaluated for a potential concussion, Stammen said. Fermin, who spent 10 days on the concussion IL last month, took a couple foul balls to the mask on July 2 -- including a hard foul ball from Freddie Freeman in the fifth inning.

Adam was placed on the 15-day IL on July 2 with a right shoulder strain. He was placed on the IL on July 3.

Jeremy Peña, Lance McCullers Jr. and Ronel Blanco, Astros

Peña (left calf strain) ran the bases on July 3 and could be ready to begin a rehab assignment early in the week of July 8.

Blanco (torn right UCL) will make his next rehab start on July 7 with Double-A Corpus Christi.

Connelly Early, Patrick Sandoval and Nick Sogard, Red Sox

Early was placed on the injured list on July 1 with left elbow inflammation, but the injury does not appear to be major.

Jameson Taillon and Edward Cabrera, Cubs

Taillon (left hamstring strain) threw two innings of live batting practice on June 30, throwing about 40 pitches. His first rehab outing will be July 5 with Triple-A Iowa, and a return before the All-Star break hasn't been ruled out.

The Cubs hope to get Cabrera (left hamstring/adductor strain) throwing off a mound in bullpen sessions before the All-Star break.

Logan Henderson, Brewers

Henderson (low back strain) was scheduled to make his second rehab start in Triple-A Nashville's July 3 game which was later postponed due to inclement weather.
