Stay up-to-date with all the latest news on injured and recovering players from across Major League Baseball.

Rafael Devers, Tyler O'Neill, Nick Pivetta and Garrett Whitlock, Red Sox

Devers (left knee soreness) underwent an MRI on Thursday morning that revealed a bone bruise but no structural damage. The Red Sox are hopeful that he can avoid an IL stint but Devers remained out of the lineup on Friday.

O'Neill was placed on the 7-day injured list Thursday, three days after a head-on collision with Devers that left the outfielder with eight stitches on his forehead. The 7-day IL is specifically for players who are experiencing concussion symptoms.

Pivetta (right elbow flexor strain) is scheduled to throw a bullpen on Saturday -- it will be the first time he's pitched off a mound since going on the IL on April 9.

Whitlock was placed on the 15-day IL Wednesday with a left oblique strain. Manager Alex Cora said the club doesn't deem it to be a serious injury, and there's confidence Whitlock will be back after serving a minimum amount of time on the IL. More >

Walker Buehler, Dodgers

Buehler (Tommy John surgery) made his fourth rehab start on Thursday, allowing two runs on four hits and four walks over 2 2/3 innings of work. The right-hander threw 68 pitches and will likely need at least one more start before the Dodgers consider if he's ready to return to the Majors. More >

Kyle Freeland and Kris Bryant, Rockies

Freeland was placed on the 15-day IL Friday with a left elbow strain. The Rockies have not announced whether the injury is at all related to his collision with Phillies pitcher Jeff Hoffman on Monday, during which he suffered a separation to his non-throwing shoulder. More >

Baty left Tuesday's game early with left hamstring tightness. However, the Mets were not concerned enough to order an MRI exam for their starting third baseman, and they do not expect him to land on the injured list. He should return to the lineup within a few days. More >

Ryne Nelson and Eduardo Rodriguez, D-backs

Nelson was hit in the right arm by a comebacker off the bat of the Giants' Mike Yastrzemski in the second inning of Thursday's game in San Francisco. He was placed on the injured list on Friday with an elbow contusion. More >
