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

Juan Soto, Yankees

Soto was a late scratch from Saturday's lineup due to a right hand bruise sustained sliding into home plate on Friday. X-rays came back negative, though manager Aaron Boone said that Soto might miss Sunday's series finale against the Blue Jays and have more testing done when the club is back in New York on Monday.

Corey Seager and Josh Jung, Rangers

Seager exited Saturday night's game against the Orioles at Camden Yards in the fifth inning after being hit on the left hand/wrist area by a Cade Povich pitch. More >

Jung rejoined the big league club ahead of the series finale against the Brewers on Wednesday after having his surgically repaired right wrist examined in Texas. General manager Chris Young said Tuesday that Jung was dealing with a bit of “tendon inflammation” just above the surgical site.

Jung was scheduled to take batting practice on Friday, but that session was delayed due to continued inflammation in the wrist. On Saturday, Jung was sent to see a specialist for further evaluation of his wrist, meaning he may not return to Texas' lineup before the All-Star break. More >

Bryce Harper, Kyle Schwarber, Spencer Turnbull and Taijuan Walker, Phillies

Harper (left hamstring strain) and Schwarber (left groin strain) have been placed on the 10-day IL, but it appears they both avoided serious injuries. More >

Turnbull exited Wednesday's start with right shoulder soreness. He was placed on the 15-day IL Thursday with a right lat strain. Thomson said he expected Turnbull to miss six to eight weeks.

Walker is still able to throw his fastball and will continue throwing while on the IL. The length of his IL stint will depend on his ability to grip his splitter. More >

Kodai Senga and Drew Smith, Mets

Senga, who has not pitched all season due to a strained posterior capsule in his right shoulder, threw a second live batting practice session on Thursday. He threw two innings without issue. He is expected to throw a bullpen session on Sunday before beginning a Minor League rehab assignment next week.

Smith, who was placed on the 15-day IL with a right elbow sprain after having trouble getting loose during Monday's game against the Cubs, told reporters on Friday that he's likely headed for Tommy John surgery. The reliever said he has significant damage to the ligament in his elbow, but he's waiting for a second opinion before proceeding. More >

Kyle Tucker, Astros

Tucker (right shin contusion) took 35 swings off a tee on Friday and ran on a treadmill. While his rehab progress hasn't been as fast as the Astros hoped, he is making progress toward returning to the lineup. More >

Adley Rutschman and Dean Kremer, Orioles

Rutschman was hit in the right hand by a foul tip during the fifth inning of Thursday's win over the Rangers. He remained in the game, homering in the seventh, but the hand was sore on Friday, and he was not in Baltimore's starting lineup. X-rays were negative, and he returned to the Orioles' lineup on Saturday.

Kremer (right triceps strain) made his third rehab start with Triple-A Norfolk on Thursday, throwing 75 pitches (48 strikes) over 4 1/3 innings. More >

Gabriel Moreno, D-backs

Moreno (left thumb sprain) is expected to play in an Arizona Complex League game on Saturday. The club believes he'll be ready to return to the lineup when his IL stint is up on Tuesday. More >

Michael Harris II, A.J. Minter and Tyler Matzek, Braves

Harris (Grade 2 left hamstring strain) has been throwing and hitting, but he has yet to resume running. There is no official timetable for his return to Atlanta's lineup, but it appears it won't be before the All-Star break.

Minter (left hip inflammation) will make a third Minor League rehab appearance before possibly being activated off the injured list. He is scheduled to pitch an inning for Triple-A Gwinnett on Sunday.

Matzek (left elbow soreness) has been throwing from 90 feet and said he is encouraged by how his arm has felt. There is still no timetable for his return, however. More >

Blake Snell, Thairo Estrada, Wilmer Flores, Kyle Harrison and Alex Cobb, Giants

Snell (left groin strain) is scheduled for a third rehab start with Triple-A Sacramento on Wednesday. If all goes well, the Giants are hoping to have the reigning NL Cy Young Award winner back in the starting rotation on July 9, when San Francisco opens a homestand against the Blue Jays.

The Giants placed Estrada (left wrist sprain) and Flores (right knee tendinitis) on the 10-day IL pregame Friday.

Harrison (right ankle sprain) threw a two-inning, 40-pitch bullpen session at Oracle Park on Friday and is still aiming to return as soon as he is eligible on July 1.

Cobb (left hip surgery) threw a bullpen session on Friday and is scheduled to begin a rehab assignment with Single-A San Jose on Sunday. More >

Edward Cabrera, Marlins

Cabrera (right shoulder impingement) is scheduled to go five innings or 80 pitches for Triple-A Jacksonville on Sunday in his third rehab start. More >

Lars Nootbaar, Cardinals

Nootbaar, who has been on the injured list since May 30 with an oblique strain suffered while checking a swing at the plate, began a Minor League rehab assignment with Double-A Springfield on Friday. More >

Will Brennan, Guardians

The Guardians placed Brennan on the injured list on Thursday with rib cage inflammation. It is not expected to be a lengthy stint on the IL. More >

Adam Frazier, Royals

Frazier, who went on the 10-day injured list on Monday with a right thumb strain, was on the field Thursday afternoon participating in defensive drills with the Royals. More >

Javier Assad, Cubs

Assad was placed on the 15-day IL on Thursday with a right forearm extensor strain. More >

Jeimer Candelario, Reds

Candelario (mild right knee tendinitis) was given another day off Saturday to rest. More >

Max Muncy, Dodgers

Muncy (right oblique strain) is with the Dodgers on the trip to San Francisco as he begins taking some swings off a tee. The third baseman is still not close to a return and isn’t eligible to be activated until after the All-Star break, but he has begun making some progress in what has been a much lengthier stint on the IL than initially expected.
