Welcome to Rotoworld’s 2025 Fantasy Baseball Injury Tracker, where the staff will be keeping you up to date with all the latest injury news and status on fantasy-relevant players around the league. Check back daily for updates.
Arizona Diamondbacks
Corbin Burnes – SP (elbow)
Burnes was pulled in the fifth inning of a game against the Nationals on June 1 with right elbow discomfort. After seeking a second opinion, he’s set to undergo Tommy John surgery and be out for the next 12 months or so.
Justin Martinez – RP (elbow)
Martinez was pulled from a game on June 9 with elbow tightness and was placed on the 15-day injured list with a UCL sprain in his right elbow. This comes shortly after the 23-year-old right-hander was sidelined with a shoulder injury. He’s now facing a 12-13 month absence, according to the team. Shelby Miller is in line to step in for most save chances in Arizona.
Jordan Montgomery – SP (Tommy John surgery)
Montgomery is set to undergo Tommy John surgery, the second of his career after having the procedure in 2018. The 32-year-old left-hander will miss the entire 2025 season and likely the start of 2026. Montgomery is entering the final year of his two-year, $47.5 million deal with Arizona and will be a free agent following the season.
A.J. Puk – RP (elbow)
Puk, on the 60-day injured list with left elbow inflammation, was able to avoid season-ending surgery and has begun a throwing program. He’s in the early stages of his rehab and has a ways to go, but Puk could potentially return sometime in late June or July.
Athletics
Zack Gelof – 2B (hammate surgery, ribs)
Gelof began the year on the 10-day injured list after suffering a hamate bone fracture in his right hand during a spring exhibition game. The 25-year-old second baseman underwent successful surgery and was expected to be sidelined for an estimated six to eight weeks. Gelof was in the middle of a rehab assignment with Triple-A Las Vegan when he was shut down with a stress reaction in his ribs. He has resumed his rehab assignment and could be closing in on a return to the Athletics lineup.
J.T. Ginn – SP (quad strain)
Ginn returned from the injured list and made one start, striking out seven with four runs allowed over four innings, before landing back on the injured list with a right quad strain. He’s currently on a rehab assignment with Triple-A and could rejoin the Athletics after another start or two there.
Gunnar Hoglund – SP (hip)
After giving up eight runs over six innings in a start against the Blue Jays, Hoglund landed on the 15-day injured list with a left hip impingement. He underwent hip surgery on Friday, June 13, and is expected to miss the remainder of the 2025 season.
Shea Langeliers – C (oblique)
Langeliers was removed from a game against the Twins on June 5 with left flank soreness and was placed on the 10-day injured list with a left oblique strain. There’s no timeline for a return, but the team acquired Austin Wynns from the Reds to help fill in behind the dish.
Atlanta Braves
Reynaldo López – SP (shoulder surgery)
López was placed on the injured list with right shoulder inflammation after struggling in his first start of the season. It was determined he would need arthroscopic surgery on his shoulder, sidelining him until at least August if all goes well. A cleanup procedure showed no further structural damage, and López will be re-evaluated in July.
Daysbel Hernández – RP (forearm)
The Braves placed Hernández on the injured list with forearm inflammation, retroactive to June 5th. He was seen shaking out his right arm in his most recent appearance on June 4th and left the game shortly thereafter. The expectation is that he’ll be out for at least two weeks.
AJ Smith-Shawver – SP (Tommy John surgery)
Smith-Shawver left his start on May 29 against the Phillies after feeling a “pop” in his right elbow. Things progressed quickly from there as he was moved to the 60-day injured list and underwent Tommy John surgery, likely sidelining him for most of 2026.
Baltimore Orioles
Grayson Rodriguez – SP (elbow discomfort)
Rodriguez was officially placed on the 15-day injured list to open the year. He was shut down in early March with right elbow inflammation. He was then scratched from a bullpen session in mid-April to undergo an MRI for shoulder soreness. The results revealed a mild lat strain that will shut him down for another few weeks. With a transfer to the 60-day injured list, we’re looking at a potential return closer to the second half of the season. Manager Tony Mansolino recently told reporters that the team is “hopeful” that Rodriguez will pitch in 2025.
Tyler O’Neill – OF (shoulder)
O’Neill landed on the 10-day injured list with a left shoulder impingement on May 18. It’s the second time the oft-injured 29-year-old outfielder has been sidelined this season. He’s was shut down from his rehab assignment for a week after receiving an injection in his AC joint on June 14.
Ryan Mountcastle – 1B (hamstring)
Mountcastle was removed from a game on May 30 with right hamstring discomfort and was officially placed on the 10-day injured list with a hamstring strain. He was diagnosed with a Grade 2 strain and is expected to miss 8-12 weeks, putting him on the shelf until at least August.
Boston Red Sox
Masataka Yoshida – OF (off-season shoulder surgery)
Yoshida was transferred to the 60-day injured list as he continues his rehab from offseason shoulder surgery. He’s begun a throwing program following a setback, but it remains unclear when the 31-year-old outfielder may be ready to return.
Kutter Crawford – SP (knee)
Crawford was moved to the 60-day injured list. He’s been out all season recovering from a knee injury he aggravated during the offseason. Crawford recently threw a three-inning bullpen session and was set for a rehab assignment, but has been shut down after he felt some pain in his right wrist.
Triston Casas – 1B (knee)
Casas suffered a significant knee injury running to first base during a game on May 2 and had to be carted off the field. The 25-year-old first baseman underwent season-ending surgery to repair a ruptured patellar tendon in his left knee.
Alex Bregman – 3B (quad)
Bregman was removed from a game against the Orioles on May 23 with right quad tightness. He’s set to undergo an MRI to determine the severity and is trending towards a trip to the injured list. Boston has recalled top prospect Marcelo Mayer to potentially fill in at the hot corner in Bregman’s absence. We haven’t gotten a timeline from the team, but Bregman said his recovery is moving at “warp speed”.
Wilyer Abreu – OF (oblique)
The Red Sox placed Abreu on the 10-day injured list on June 9 with a left oblique strain. While the injury typically means a lengthy absence, the team is hopeful to get the 25-year-old outfielder back after a minimum stay.
Justin Slaten – RP (shoulder)
Slaten was placed on the 15-day injured list with right shoulder inflammation on May 29 and remains shut down from throwing after a recent update from the team on June 10. The 27-year-old right-hander has played a big role in the late innings for the Red Sox, who acquired right-handed reliever Jorge Alcala from the Twins for added bullpen support.
Chicago Cubs
Javier Assad – SP (Strained Oblique)
Assad suffered a mild oblique strain in mid-February that has kept him out all season. He was transferred to the 60-day injured list in late April after experiencing a setback. After Assad was shut down for a month, he resumed a throwing program in late May. While there’s no clear timetable, a return in June is unlikely.
Justin Steele – SP (elbow)
Steele landed on the 15-day injured list following his last start with left elbow tendinitis. After undergoing an MRI exam, it was determined the 29-year-old left-hander would need season-ending surgery on his left elbow. Steele underwent a UCL revision surgery, which is less invasive than a full Tommy John and should put him in line to return early next season.
Shota Imanaga – SP (hamstring)
Imanaga was removed from his start on Sunday, May 4 with a left hamstring strain he suffered while covering first base on a play. The Cubs placed the 31-year-old left-hander on the 15-day injured list. He’s set to make his second rehab start on June 14, putting him on track to possibly return by the end of the month.
Porter Hodge – RP (oblique)
Just as it seemed Hodge would get an opportunity to secure the Cubs’ closer role, he landed on the 15-day injured list with a strained left oblique on May 20. Daniel Palencia has been effective in the closer role, so there’s not guarantee Hodge will see save chances once he returns.
Miguel Amaya – C (oblique)
Amaya landed on the 10-day injured list on May 25 with a left oblique strain and is expected to miss 4-6 weeks, putting him out until around the All-Star break. The 26-year-old backstop was hitting .280 with four homers through 27 games. Reese McGuire has filled in for backup catching duties behind Carson Kelly.
Chicago White Sox
Jonathan Cannon – SP (back)
Cannon’s velocity was down during his last outing on June 2 against the Tigers. He was placed on the 15-day injured list the next day with a strained lower back. Despite a 4.66 ERA, Cannon was actually one of the White Sox better starting pitchers, which says a lot about the state of the team.
Lenyn Sosa – 2B (hip flexor strain)
The White Sox placed Sosa on the 10-day injured list on June 4 with a hip flexor strain with no timetable for a return. The 25-year-old infielder was hitting a solid .274/.291/.383 with four homers across 207 plate appearances as one of the team’s better hitters. First baseman Tim Elko was recalled to take his place on the active roster.
Cincinnati Reds
Hunter Greene – SP (groin)
Greene has been placed back on the IL with a groin strain. This is the second time this season he’s been shelved with that same injury, so expect the Reds to be much more cautious with his recovery and return this time around. In the latest team update on June 9, the 25-year-old right-hander was seeking a second opinion on his groin and back issues.
Jeimer Candelario – 3B (back)
The Reds placed Candelario on the 10-day injured list with a lumbar spine strain. It’s an issue the 31-year-old had reportedly been playing through for weeks. Candelario began a rehab assignment during the first week of June that began in the Reds’ complex and moved up to Triple-A after a few days.
Noelvi Marte – 3B (strained oblique)
Marte landed on the 10-day injured list with a Grade 2 left oblique strain. The injury typically carries a 4-8 week timetable. The 23-year-old third baseman is targeting June 20 to begin a minor league rehab assignment, but will need to get an MRI before he’s cleared for action.
Austin Hays – OF (foot)
Hays was placed on the 10-day injured list on May 29 with a left foot contusion, already his third trip to the injured list this season. With persistent pain in his foot, an MRI did not reveal any structural damage, so Hays is dealing with a deep bone bruise. There’s no clear timeline for a return.
Cleveland Guardians
Shane Bieber – SP (Tommy John surgery)
Bieber underwent Tommy John surgery early in the 2024 season. The 29-year-old right-hander was targeting the All-Star break for his return, but he’s ahead of schedule in his recovery. He began a rehab assignment on May 31st, but was scratched from his next scheduled start with what was described as continued elbow soreness.
Chase DeLauter – OF (sports hernia)
DeLauter appeared to be on the precipice of making his major league debut with the Guardians before suffering a core muscle injury in late February. The 23-year-old prospect required sports hernia surgery that will keep him out for roughly 8-12 weeks. Perhaps a late-season call-up is still in the cards if he can recover and perform in the minors.
Colorado Rockies
Ezequiel Tovar – SS (oblique)
Tovar exited Monday’s game against the Marlins with discomfort in his left side. He was held out of the Rockies’ games for the rest of the week and finally placed on the IL ahead of Friday’s game against the Mets. Hopefully this isn’t an extended absence, but oblique injuries tend to be fickle.
Detroit Tigers
Jackson Jobe – SP (strained elbow flexor)
Jobe was placed on the 15-day injured list with a Grade 1 right elbow flexor strain on May 30. This comes after his velocity was notably down in his previous start against the Giants. It was determined shortly after that the 22-year-old right-hander will need to undergo Tommy John surgery, likely keeping him out until late 2026.
Reese Olson – SP (finger inflammation)
Olson has been out since May 18 with inflammation in his right ring finger. While he’s been throwing for a couple of weeks, he received an injection on June 3 to address remaining inflammation in his finger. There’s no firm timetable for a return, but he’ll likely need a rehab start or two once he’s passed the finger issue.
Alex Cobb – SP (hip inflammation)
The oft-injured Cobb has made at least 20 starts just twice in the last six seasons. The 37-year-old right-hander is working his way back after suffering a right hip impingement at the outset of Spring Training. Cobb recently began a minor league rehab assignment, throwing two innings for Triple-A Toledo in his first start.
Houston Astros
Yordan Alvarez – OF/DH (hand inflammation)
Alvarez sat a couple of games with right hand discomfort and was placed on the 10-day injured list with right hand inflammation. There’s no word on how much time he’s expected to miss. He told reporters on May 19 that his hand was feeling better but he still experienced soreness when he swings a bat. Imaging later in the month revealed a small fracture, but Alvarez is still expected to return sometime in the near future.
Spencer Arrighetti – SP (thumb)
Arrighetti has been sidelined for two months after fracturing his thumb during on-field batting practice in a freak accident in early April. He’s on track to throw bullpen sessions, followed by a minor league rehab assignment, putting him back in the Astros rotation sometime in July.
Zach Dezenzo – 1B/OF (hand)
Dezenzo was removed from a game on May 31 with left hand discomfort and placed on the 10-day injured list with hand inflammation. He was diagnosed with a capsule sprain in his left hand and will be reevaluated in another week. Dezenzo will likely miss the rest of June.
Luis Garcia – SP (Tommy John surgery)
There was hope Garcia could return to the Astros at some point this summer, but he’s been shutdown with elbow soreness as he attempts to return from Tommy John surgery. It could be some time before we see Garcia on a major league mound again.
Cristian Javier – SP (Tommy John surgery)
Javier had Tommy John surgery last year and appears on track to return in the second half of this season. With the Astros still on the hook for upwards of $50 million remaining on his contract, Javier will have a rotation spot whenever he’s ready to pitch again.
Ronel Blanco – SP (elbow)
Blanco underwent Tommy John surgery with an internal brace procedure on Friday, June 6. The surgery also addressed a repair of the right flexor tendon. The 31-year-old right-hander isn’t expected back until the late stages of 2026.
Kansas City Royals
Cole Ragans – SP (groin strain)
The Royals ace made it off the injured list for one start and was shelved once again with a shoulder injury. The team officially placed Ragans on the 15-day injured list on June 8 with a left rotator cuff strain and is seeking a second opinion, which typically doesn’t lead to good news.
Hunter Harvey – RP (shoulder)
Harvey was placed on the 15-day injured list with a Grade 1 right teres major sprain. He experienced renewed soreness during his rehab in early May, slowing his recovery. The team officially moved him to the 60-day injured list. Harvey had been pitching well out of the Royals bullpen with seven strikeouts over 5 1/3 scoreless innings.
Los Angeles Angels
Ben Joyce – RP (right shoulder inflammation)
After experiencing a dip in velocity in his most recent outing, Joyce was placed on the 15-day injured list with right shoulder inflammation. He experienced renewed soreness and underwent season-ending shoulder surgery.
Robert Stephenson – RP (biceps)
Stephenson had made his return from Tommy John surgery in late May but his return was short lived as he was placed on the 15-day injured list with right biceps inflammation. An MRI revealed no structural damage, but there still remains no timetable for a return.
Los Angeles Dodgers
Blake Snell – SP (shoulder)
Snell was placed on the 15-day injured list with left shoulder inflammation on April 3 following his second start of the season in which he allowed five runs and walked four batters. An MRI revealed no structural damage, but the 32-year-old southpaw had been shut down from throwing after experiencing renewed shoulder discomfort. He tossed his first bullpen session since April on June 10 and said to be pain free. Snell is still likely a couple of weeks away from a minor league rehab assignment.
Tyler Glasnow – SP (shoulder)
Glasnow was removed from his start against the Pirates on April 27 after one inning with right shoulder discomfort. He’s currently on the 60-day injured list as his recovery has been slowed by some general soreness. Glasnow is set to throw a bullpen session and continue his throwing program, but he won’t be returning to the Dodgers rotation until sometime in July.
Roki Sasaki – SP (shoulder)
Sasaki was placed on the 15-day injured list with a right shoulder impingement on May 13, an issue he had pitched through for a few starts. He resumed throwing in late May but still seems at least a few weeks away from returning.
Blake Treinen – RP (forearm)
Treinen landed on the 15-day injured list with right forearm tightness on April 19, then transferred to the 60-day injured list in early May after an MRI revealed a low-grade forearm strain. He resumed throwing in mid-May and is eligible to return on June 18.
Tony Gonsolin – SP (elbow)
Gonsolin was placed on the 15-day injured list on June 7 after experiencing right elbow discomfort following his last start. Manager Dave Robert stated Gonzolin’s UCL in his right elbow remains in tact, but he remains without a timeline and could still face a lengthy absence.
Miami Marlins
Griffin Conine – OF (shoulder)
Conine suffered a dislocated left shoulder on a slide into second base on April 19 and will undergo season-ending surgery. The 27-year-old outfielder was in the midst of a breakout season, hitting .281/.352/.438 over 71 plate appearances.
Ryan Weathers – SP (lat strain)
Weather left his last start on June 7 with an apparent arm injury. He was also hit by a throw on the head during warmups in between innings. He later underwent evaluation for shoulder discomfort and was placed on the 60-day injured list with a left lat strain, putting him out until at least early August.
Max Meyer – SP (hip impingement)
After giving up 11 runs over his last two starts, the Marlins put Meyer on the 15-day injured list with a hip impingement on June 3. It’s not expected to be a lengthy stay on the injured list, but Meyer may require one or two rehab starts before returning. Eury Perez takes his spot in the rotation for the time being.
Milwaukee Brewers
Brandon Woodruff – SP (shoulder surgery)
Woodruff underwent shoulder surgery at the end of the 2023 season that sidelined him for all of last year. He made one appearance in spring training, tossing one scoreless inning. The 32-year-old right-hander began a rehab assignment with Triple-A Nashville and was stuck on the right elbow by a 108 mph comebacker in his start on June 3rd. His X-rays came back negative, but the team will be extra careful with him. He can’t seem to catch a break.
Nestor Cortes – SP (elbow)
Cortes had bounced back with a strong start following his blowup outing against the Yankees on March 29. However, he landed on the 15-day injured list with a left elbow flexor strain. The 30-year-old left-hander had been shut down for a few weeks and received a PRP injection in hopes to expedite his recovery. He started playing catch in May and threw a 30-pitch bullpen session on Friday, June 13.
Garrett Mitchell – OF (oblique strain)
Mitchell exited a game on April 25 with left oblique tightness and was placed on the 10-day injured list with a strain. He’s expected to be sidelined until at least July.
Minnesota Twins
Pablo López – SP (shoulder)
López abruptly exited his start on Tuesday, June 3rd while warming up for the sixth inning after feeling some discomfort in his lat. After an MRI, the team announced he had a Grade 2 teres major strain in his right shoulder and is expected to miss 8-12 weeks.
Luke Keaschall – OF (fractured forearm)
Keaschall suffered a left forearm fracture after he was hit by a pitch during a game against the Angels on April 25. The 22-year-old prospect was 7-for-19 at the plate with five steals. He was moved to the 60-day injured list in May and won’t return until at least late June or early July.
Zebby Matthews – SP (shoulder)
The Twins took another hit to the rotation with Matthews landing on the 15-day injured list on June 5 with a right shoulder strain. The 25-year-old right-hander will be shut down for two weeks before he’s re-evaluated. A return in early July would be an optimistic scenario.
Royce Lewis – 3B (hamstring)
Lewis was removed from a game against the Astros on Friday, June 13 with a left hamstring strain. He was out of the lineup the following day and is set to undergo an MRI to determine the severity. A trip to the injured list seems likely, but there should be more news in the coming days.
New York Mets
Sean Manaea – SP (strained oblique)
Manaea felt some discomfort in his right oblique when spring training began and was shut down for a few weeks. He began a throwing program in mid-March, but again felt discomfort in that same oblique on April 1. He’s made two starts in a minor league rehab assignment, with a third set for June 15, and could be back in the Mets rotation by late June.
Frankie Montas – SP (strained lat)
Montas was shut down in the middle of February with a high-grade lat strain and was shutdown for eight weeks. He began a rehab assignment in mid-May that has progressed to Triple-A. Montas struggled in his last start on June 13 as he was stretched out to 53 pitches. The team will likely want to see some better results over his next rehab start before activating him to the major league roster.
Jesse Winker – OF (strained oblique)
Winker was placed on the IL with a Grade 2 oblique strain on May 5th. He is expected to be out for six to eight weeks. In an update on June 13, manager Carlos Mendoza told reporters that Winker is still weeks away from a rehab assignment.
Mark Vientos – 3B (hamstring)
Vientos landed on the 10-day injured list with a low-grade hamstring strain on June 3 and is expected to begin a minor league rehab assignment in the next week. He could return to the Mets lineup in time for the team’s series against the Phillies starting June 20.
Kodai Senga – SP (hamstring)
Senga injured his right hamstring while fielding a play during a start on June 12. He was diagnosed with a Grade 1 right hamstring strain and will hopefully need just a couple of weeks before returning to the rotation.
New York Yankees
Luke Weaver – RP (hamstring)
The Yankees placed Weaver on the IL on June 3rd with a hamstring strain. He’s expected to be sidelined for four to six weeks, potentially keeping him out until the All Star break. This injury opens the door for Devin Williams to recapture his closer role.
Luis Gil – SP (strained lat)
The oft-injured Gil opened the season on the 60-day injured list after suffering a high-grade lat strain during spring training. Manager Aaron Boone proclaimed he’d be out “at least three months” just after the injury was announced. He was cleared to begin a throwing program on April 27 but isn’t expected to return until at least late-June.
Giancarlo Stanton – OF (double elbow epicondylitis)
Winner of the strangest offseason injury, Stanton was ruled out indefinitely with tendonitis in both of his elbows, somehow. He’s begun a minor league rehab assignment and could make his season debut early in the next week. Stanton will certainly DH-only in his return, pushing Ben Rice for playing time. Rice could get starts at catcher to keep his bat in the lineup.
Philadelphia Phillies
Aaron Nola – SP (ankle, oblique)
Nola went to the IL on May 15th after an ankle sprain and numerous poor starts. He was set to face live hitters for the first time this week, but felt some “mild” soreness in his side and was shut down. He’s still yet to throw a competitive pitch since the original ankle injury and likely won’t be back until late June at the earliest.
Bryce Harper – 1B (wrist)
Harper was held out of the lineup on Friday, June 6 with some wrist soreness. The team decided to take the cautionary approach by placing the star first baseman on the 10-day injured list with wrist inflammation. There should more clarity on his timeline in the coming days, but fantasy managers shouldn’t expect a lengthy absence.
Pittsburgh Pirates
Jared Jones – SP (elbow discomfort)
The Pirates were dealt a blow when Jones was diagnosed with a right UCL sprain in his elbow before the start of the season. The 23-year-old right-hander was placed on the 60-day injured list and shut down from throwing for at least six weeks. Barring any setbacks, Jones could possibly return to the rotation sometime in mid-June.
Endy Rodriguez – C/1B (elbow)
Rodriguez’s return was short lived as he landed back in the injured list with right elbow discomfort. He was transferred to the 60-day injured list and set to receive a PRP injection before resting for four weeks.
San Diego Padres
Michael King – SP (shoulder)
King was scratched from a start on May 24 with right shoulder soreness he attributed to sleeping awkwardly. He was officially placed on the 15-day injured list retroactive to May 22 with right shoulder inflammation. Padres manager Mike Shildt told reporters on June 9 that the right-hander remains in a “holding pattern” as the medical team continues to gather information before determining King’s next steps.
Yu Darvish – SP (elbow soreness)
Darvish experienced arm fatigue in mid-March and was diagnosed with right elbow inflammation. The 38-year-old right-hander began a rehab assignment in May, but was pulled off it after experiencing further discomfort. He threw his first bullpen session since on Monday, June 2nd and is scheduled for at least one more before he can go back to pitching in minor league games.
San Francisco Giants
Justin Verlander – SP (pectoral strain)
Verlander was placed on the 15-day injured list on May 19 with a right pectoral strain. He tossed a 65-pitch simulated game on June 11 and could be ready to rejoin the rotation in the next week without a minor league rehab stint.
Patrick Bailey – C (neck)
Bailey had been scratched from the lineup on June 10 with neck spasms before the team ultimately decided to play it safe and placed him on the 10-day injured list with a neck strain. The hope is that it’s a minimum stay on the injured list.
Matt Chapman – 3B (hand)
Chapman jammed his hand while diving to first base on June 8 and was placed on the 10-day injured list with hand inflammation. He was diagnosed with a right hand sprain and was shut down for a couple of weeks after seeing a hand specialist. The team is hoping to get the 32-year-old third baseman back in 3-4 weeks.
Seattle Mariners
Victor Robles – OF (dislocated shoulder)
Robles injured himself on an incredible play against the Giants on April 6, colliding with the wall and netting down the right-field line. The 27-year-old outfielder came away with a dislocated right shoulder. While he looks to have avoided surgery at the moment, he’s expected to be out until September.
Logan Gilbert – SP (elbow)
Gilbert was removed after three scoreless innings during his start on April 25 due to right forearm tightness. He was placed on the 15-day injured list after an MRI revealed a mild right elbow flexor strain. The 28-year-old right-hander is out on a rehab assignment with Triple-A Tacoma and has most recently tossed five scoreless innings on June 10. He’ll like return to the Seattle rotation in the coming days.
Luke Raley – OF (oblique)
Raley suffered a right oblique strain during batting practice on Tuesday, April 29. He was placed on the 10-day injured list and is expected to miss about six weeks. Raley began ramping up baseball activities on May 27 and started a rehab assignment on June 12. He’ll likely return to a strong-side platoon role with the Mariners in the next week.
Bryce Miller (elbow)
Miller landed on the 15-day injured list on May 14 with right elbow inflammation. It was later revealed he has been dealing with a bone spur in the back of his elbow, something he’ll pitch through all season before potentially resolving the issue in the off-season. He made two starts in his return and landed back on the injured list with elbow inflammation. He’s expected to return in the next 4-6 weeks.
St. Louis Cardinals
Tampa Bay Rays
Shane McClanahan – SP (triceps nerve inflammation)
McClanahan, making his way back from Tommy John surgery, suffered a left arm injury during a spring training start on March 22. He was diagnosed with nerve inflammation in his left triceps. The 27-year-old right-hander had begun throwing bullpen sessions but was shut down again and set to visit a nerve specialist. It doesn’t bode well for his chances to return any time soon.
Ha-Seong Kim – SS (shoulder surgery)
Kim underwent offseason shoulder surgery before signing on with the Rays on a two-year, $29 million contract. The 29-year-old infielder is expected to make his debut with Tampa Bay sometime in mid-June and should step in as the team’s primary shortstop upon his return. Kim is currently on a rehab assignment with Triple-A Durham.
Jonny DeLuca – OF (strained shoulder)
DeLuca had been hitting well to start the season before landing on the 10-day injured list on April 8, slashing .435/.480/.522 with four steals over nine games. The 26-year-old outfielder was expected to miss 2-4 weeks with a right shoulder strain, but recently suffered a setback during his rehab assignment on May 28, clouding his potential return.
Texas Rangers
Cody Bradford – SP (elbow soreness)
Bradford was shut down in mid-March with left elbow soreness. An MRI revealed no structural damage, but he’ll require a full buildup. Bradford began a throwing program in April and progressed to a 22-pitch bullpen session on June 11. Manager Bruce Bochy stated the goal is to have Bradford back as a rotation option and built up to five innings in early July.
Jon Gray – SP (fractured wrist)
Gray suffered a fractured right wrist after he was struck by a line drive during a spring training start on March 14. He was shut down from throwing for six weeks and placed on the 60-day injured list. The 33-year-old right-hander will require a full buildup once he’s cleared. He began a throwing program in early May but there remains no clear timetable for a return.
Nathan Eovaldi – SP (triceps)
After having his last start pushed back, Eovaldi landed on the 15-day injured list on May 29 with triceps fatigue. He’s set to throw a bullpen session and could return in the next week.
Joc Pederson – DH (hand)
Pederson suffered a fractured right hand when he was hit by a pitch on May 24. He’s likely facing a lengthy absence with a goal to return sometime after the All-Star break, though there’s been no clear timetable for the 33-year-old slugger.
Toronto Blue Jays
Max Scherzer – SP (thumb)
Scherzer was removed in his season debut with the Blue Jays with what was deemed right lat soreness at the time. The injury apparently stems from thumb soreness he experienced during spring training. The team placed him on the 15-day injured list with right thumb inflammation. He came out of his last rehab start on June 13 feeling good and is set to make at least one more before he’s cleared to return to the Toronto rotation.
Anthony Santander – OF (shoulder)
Santander has been hampered by nagging shoulder and hip issues as he’s posted just a .577 OPS on the season. The team placed him on the 10-day injured list on May 30 and he received a PRP injection shortly after. So, he’ll be shut down from baseball activities at least until mid-June.
