Jackson Merrill, Germán Márquez and Luis Campusano, Padres

Merrill was removed from the May 20 game against the Dodgers after suffering a back injury attempting to rob Shohei Ohtani's home run. He was "doing OK" per manager Craig Stammen and set to undergo additional testing.

Burnes (recovery from Tommy John surgery) has been throwing bullpen sessions and is set to face live hitters some time the week of May 25.

Tarik Skubal, Justin Verlander, Troy Melton, Gleyber Torres and Beau Brieske, Tigers

Skubal threw a two-inning, 35-pitch bullpen session on May 21, his second bullpen session since undergoing a NanoScope procedure to have loose bodies removed from his left elbow. He is scheduled to throw a third bullpen session with the club in Baltimore between May 22-24. Skubal will require a rehab start before returning, according to manager A.J. Hinch.

Verlander (left hip inflammation) threw a 62-pitch, four-inning simulated game on May 20 at Comerica Park, striking out three batters and giving up three home runs.

Melton threw five innings of one-run ball with six strikeouts in a May 19 rehab start for Single-A Lakeland. He could start for the Tigers on May 24.

Torres (mild left oblique strain) worked out at Comerica Park on May 19 and could begin a rehab assignment with Triple-A Toledo later in the week. He is running and playing defense at full strength but not yet swinging at full speed, according to Hinch.

Brieske (left adductor strain) threw a 21-pitch inning for Triple-A Toledo on May 20 with a home run allowed, a walk and a strikeout. He was scheduled to pitch again May 21 for Toledo before being evaluated.

Kodai Senga and Clay Holmes, Mets

Senga (lumbar spine inflammation) is set to begin a Minor League rehab assignment on May 22 for Single-A St. Lucie.

Holmes (fractured right fibula) will need 6-8 weeks to heal and another six or so for a Spring Training-style buildup, which would take him well past the All-Star break in a best-case scenario.

Gerrit Cole, Trent Grisham, Jasson Domínguez and José Caballero, Yankees

Cole (Tommy John surgery recovery) will make his return to the Majors on May 22 and start at Yankee Stadium against the Rays.

Grisham received good news when imaging on his ailing left knee showed no structural damage. Although he was out of the lineup on May 21, he hoped to be available off the bench.

Domínguez (left shoulder AC joint sprain) advanced from pool and weight room activities to hitting off a tee on May 20.

Caballero (fractured right middle finger) hit and threw on May 20 and said he should be ready by May 22.

Roman Anthony, Garrett Crochet and Trevor Story, Red Sox

Anthony (right wrist sprain) experienced soreness when attempting to take swings on May 18 and will be re-evaluated on May 22.

Crochet (left shoulder inflammation) threw his third side session on May 20 and expects to face hitters at some point next week.

Story (sports hernia) went to Philadelphia to seek a third opinion from Dr. William Meyers.

José Berríos, Shane Bieber, Addison Barger and Nathan Lukes, Blue Jays

Berríos underwent full Tommy John surgery on May 20 with Dr. Keith Meister, Blue Jays manager John Schneider announced.

Lukes (left hamstring discomfort) began a rehab assignment with Single-A Dunedin on May 20.

Denzel Clarke, Athletics

Clarke suffered a high-grade left hamstring strain while on his rehab assignment with Triple-A Las Vegas on May 19 and will likely be sidelined until after the All-Star break.

Edward Cabrera and Matthew Boyd, Cubs

Cabrera departed his start on May 20 in the fourth inning due to a blister issue on his pitching hand.

Boyd (left meniscus) will have another mound workout on May 22.

Yandy Díaz and Ben Williamson, Rays

Williamson has been placed on the 10-day IL due to a low back strain.

Kyle Schwarber, Phillies

Schwarber remained out of the lineup through May 20 due to a stomach issue.

Nathan Church, Lars Nootbaar and Ramón Urías, Cardinals

Church was given the day off on May 21 after manager Oliver Marmol described him as being "a little beat up." The hope is to have him back in the lineup on May 22.

Nootbaar (surgery on both heels) had his rehab assignment shifted to Triple-A Memphis on May 19, going 0-for-3 as the designated hitter. He was scheduled for a rest day on May 20.

Urías (right elbow lateral epicondylitis) was expected to begin a plyometric exercise program on May 21 before progressing into additional baseball activities, manager Oliver Marmol said May 20.

Lance McCullers Jr. and Hunter Brown, Astros

McCullers was scratched from his start on May 19 and placed on the 15-day IL with right shoulder soreness. He flew back to Houston for further evaluation and treatment.

Brown (Grade 2 right shoulder strain) threw 22 pitches of live BP on May 19; if he recovers well, he should begin a rehab assignment over the May 22-24 weekend.

Jung Hoo Lee and Logan Webb, Giants

Lee (back spasms) was out of the lineup through May 20, but an IL stint is not expected.

Webb (right knee bursitis) threw another bullpen session on May 19 and said his knee is feeling good.

Brandon Nimmo, MacKenzie Gore and Wyatt Langford, Rangers

Nimmo left the Rangers' May 20 game in the fifth inning with right hamstring tightness.

Gore (left lat tightness) said May 19 he feels fine after exiting his May 18 start early in Denver. He’ll get imaging but is expected to make his next start.

Langford (Grade 1 right flexor strain) was scheduled to do another forearm strength test on May 20. If all goes well, he can begin swinging a bat two days later and restart his full ramp-up.

Blake Snell, Tyler Glasnow and Tommy Edman, Dodgers

Snell underwent the NanoNeedle Scope procedure on May 19 to remove loose bodies from his elbow, which should allow for a faster return.

When Glasnow landed on the 15-day IL with lower back spasms, the initial hope was that it would be a minimum-length stint, which would have lined him up to return this weekend in Milwaukee. That will not be the case, as his back flared up again and he is shut down from throwing for the time being.

Edman (recovery from right ankle surgery) is set to take live at-bats at the Dodgers' complex in Arizona during the weekend of May 22. He could begin a rehab assignment soon after.

Yusei Kikuchi, Angels

Kikuchi (left shoulder inflammation) said on May 20 that he will start his throwing program soon and hopes to return to the Majors by late July.

Doyle was placed on the 10-day injured list on May 21 (retroactive to May 20) with a left oblique contusion.

Dollander (right elbow sprain) will be shut down from throwing for two to three weeks, manager Warren Schaeffer said May 20.

Vodnik was placed on the 15-day injured list on May 20 with right ulnar nerve inflammation.

Robby Snelling, Marlins

Snelling -- Miami's No. 2 prospect -- will undergo left elbow surgery on May 22 after imaging revealed a sprained UCL.
