Stay up-to-date with all the latest news on injured players across Major League Baseball.
Trey Yesavage and José Berríos, Blue Jays
Yesavage will begin the season on the IL with a right shoulder impingement. The Blue Jays expect Yesavage to continue to throw as he builds up slowly. His next scheduled mound session is on March 25.
Berríos has a stress fracture in his right elbow and will miss Opening Day. However, manager John Schneider said that Berríos is pain free. The team hopes he will resume throwing soon and can pitch through the injury.
Gerrit Cole, Yankees
Cole tossed a scoreless inning against the Red Sox on March 18, marking his first time appearing in a game since undergoing Tommy John surgery last March.
Seiya Suzuki, Cubs
An MRI revealed that Suzuki has a minor PCL sprain in his right knee, manager Craig Counsell announced on March 17. Suzuki will continue baseball activities through the weekend and be re-assessed to see if an IL trip is necessary.
Zack Wheeler, Phillies
Wheeler (thoracic outlet decompression surgery) felt good after throwing a two-inning live BP on March 18, his second session of the spring. His next step could either be another live BP or his first start, which would likely be in a Minor League game.
Jeremy Peña, Astros
Peña (right ring finger fracture) resumed swinging a bat on March 20. The Astros haven't ruled him out for Opening Day.
Grayson Rodriguez, Angels
Rodriguez felt soreness in his pitching arm after his start against the Guardians on March 13, and it could put his availability for the start of the season in jeopardy.
Lars Nootbaar, Cardinals
Nootbaar will start the season on the 10-day injured list because his surgically repaired heels are not 100 percent.
Dylan Beavers and Heston Kjerstad, Orioles
Beavers was scratched from the lineup prior to Baltimore's game on March 20 due to right knee discomfort. The 24-year-old's removal was precautionary, as he doesn't expect his status for Opening Day to be in jeopardy.
Kjerstad's 2026 season could begin with a stint on the injured list. The 27-year-old hasn't played since March 19 due to right hamstring tightness and is scheduled to undergo imaging once the O's are back in Baltimore on March 22.
Mike Tauchman, Mets
Tauchman underwent an MRI on March 21 after exiting early with left knee discomfort.
Kyle Stowers and Esteury Ruiz, Marlins
Stowers and Ruiz both exited Miami's game on March 20. According to manager Clayton McCullough, Stowers has a tight right hamstring and Ruiz has a left oblique strain. Both were scheduled for testing on March 21.
Hayden Birdsong and Harrison Bader, Giants
Birdsong will undergo season-ending Tommy John surgery to repair a right forearm strain and ulnar collateral ligament sprain in his throwing elbow.
Bader (left hamstring tightness) is day to day. Manager Tony Vitello expressed confidence that Bader will be ready for Opening Night on March 25.
Brendan Rodgers, Red Sox
Rodgers recently underwent right shoulder labral revision surgery that is likely to keep him out the entire season.
Jake Rogers, Tigers
Rogers (mild concussion) hit in the cage, ran and caught a bullpen session on March 21.
Brady Singer, Reds
Singer left his March 18 start against the Rockies in the fourth inning with a right index finger blister. He described the decision as a precaution and expects to make his next start on schedule.
Quinn Priester and Logan Henderson, Brewers
Priester (neurogenic thoracic outlet syndrome) is scheduled to throw a bullpen session on March 21 as he continues to ramp up.
Henderson (mild right elbow soreness) is scheduled for a multi-inning appearance on March 20.
J.P. Crawford and Bryce Miller, Mariners
Crawford (right shoulder soreness) received a cortisone injection on March 18 after visiting Dr. Keith Meister in Texas on March 17 so the club could ensure it proceeds with the right treatment. His availability is uncertain for Opening Day.
Taylor Walls, Rays
Walls will open the season on the IL due to a right oblique issue that he initially felt on March 17.
Gabriel Moreno, D-backs
Moreno was scratched on March 13 due to ongoing right forearm tightness. An MRI revealed no structural damage and he is expected to play in the D-backs final two exhibition games on March 23 and 24.
