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.
Tyler Locklear - 1B (elbow)
Locklear landed on the injured list with elbow inflammation on September 8th. There has been no other update on his status and it’s likely his season is over.
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.
A.J. Puk - RP (elbow)
Puk, sidelined since mid-April with an elbow injury, underwent Tommy John surgery on Friday, June 20. The 30-year-old left-hander will now miss all of 2025 and a significant portion of the 2026 season.
Kevin Ginkel - RP (shoulder)
Ginkel is the latest Diamondbacks' reliever to fall this season. A shoulder strain he sustained during the first week of August will end his season and the beginning of his 2026 season is in doubt as well.
Lourdes Gurriel Jr. - OF (knee)
Gurriel was carted off the field after a play in the outfield on Monday, September 1. Tests revealed a right torn ACL for the 31-year-old outfielder. He's set to undergo season-ending surgery and is likely to be sidelined for a significant portion, if not all, of 2026.
Athletics
Jacob Lopez - SP (elbow)
Lopez experienced some tightness in his forearm following his last start against the Mariners and was diagnosed with a Grade 1 left elbow flexor strain. He was placed on the 15-day injured list on August 25, but is reportedly making good progress of late and has a chance to return this season. What role he could return in is unknown though. The 27-year-old left-hander had posted a 4.08 ERA, 1.27 WHIP, and a 113/37 K/BB ratio across 92 2/3 innings.
Denzel Clarke - OF (groin)
Clarke had been working his way back from an adductor strain when he was recently diagnosed with a new Grade 2 adductor strain that will prolong his return. He remains without a timeline.
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.
Max Muncy - SS/2B (fractured hand)
Muncy suffered a fractured right hand after he was hit by a pitch against the Rangers on July 21. The Athletics placed the 22-year-old infielder on the 10-day injured list and he resumed baseball activities soon thereafter. He's started a hitting progression and will likely need a rehab assignment to ramp back up before he's activated sometime in September.
Jack Perkins - SP (shoulder)
Perkins landed on the 15-day injured list with a right shoulder strain on August 22. He received an injection a few days later but still remains without a timetable. It's possible Perkins' season is over. The 25-year-old right-hander posted a solid 4.19 ERA, 1.16 WHIP and 37/18 K/BB ratio across 38 2/3 innings.
Atlanta Braves
Austin Riley - 3B (abdominal muscle)
After missing two weeks with an abdominal strain, Riley went back on the IL with the same injury. He recently experienced renewed discomfort after running the bases and underwent season-ending core muscle surgery with the expectation that he'll be ready for 2026 Spring Training.
Spencer Schwellenbach - SP (elbow)
Schwellenbach felt soreness in his right elbow following his last start on June 28 and landed on the 60-day injured list with a fractured right elbow. The 25-year-old right-hander believes his added velocity this season may have contributed to the injury. While he'll be eligible to return in late August, he still hasn't resumed throwing and there's a strong chance his season may be over.
Sean Murphy - C (hip)
Murphy was diagnosed with a labrum tear in his right hip which will require surgery and knock him out for the rest of the season. That serious of an injury could put him in jeopardy for spring training next season.
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.
Grant Holmes - SP (elbow)
Holmes' season has effectively come to an end as the 29-year-old right-hander was placed on the 60-day injured list with right elbow inflammation. With his roster spot cleared, the team acquired Erick Fedde in a deal with the Cardinals. Holmes ends the season with a 3.99 ERA, 1.34 WHIP, and a 123/54 K/BB ratio across 115 innings.
Baltimore Orioles
Adley Rutchman - C (oblique)
Rutchman was placed on the 10-day injured list with a mild right oblique strain on August 21. He was able to take batting practice with the team last week and should be cleared for a rehab assignment this weekend. That puts him on track to rejoin the Orioles for their final few games of the season.
Grayson Rodriguez - SP (elbow discomfort)
Rodriguez has been sidelined since spring training with shoulder and elbow injuries. While the team was hopeful that the 25-year-old right-hander would pitch this season, he was shut down multiple times while rehabbing over the course of the season and has now officially opted for surgery ending his season. He expressed optimism that this will finally help him to avoid the consistent elbow discomfort that's plagued him for a huge chunk of the last few seasons.
Zach Eflin - SP (back)
Eflin is on the IL for the second time this summer with a back injury and has opted for lumbar microdiscectomy surgery, ending his season.
Félix Bautista - RP (shoulder)
After experiencing a dip in velocity, Bautista was placed on the injured list with what’s being described as “right shoulder discomfort” by the Orioles. He recently underwent surgery to repair a torn rotator cuff and is facing a 12-month recovery, sidelining him for likely all of next season.
Boston Red Sox
Roman Anthony - OF (oblique)
The Red Sox took a huge blow when Anthony was placed on the 10-day injured list with left oblique strain on September 3. He only just began walking on a treadmill in mid-September, so it’s apparent his season is over and his availability for the Wild Card round is in serious doubt. The 21-year-old outfielder was slashing .292/.396/.463 with eight homers and fours steals across 303 plate appearances most as the table-setting atop Boston’s lineup.
Wilyer Abreu - OF (calf)
Abreu was placed on the 10-day injured list on August 18 after sitting out a few games with right calf tightness. There was hope that it would be a minimum stint for Abreu, but he’s been held out since without many encouraging updates. He’s been with the team at Fenway Park for more than a week now though and could rejoin the lineup any day now.
Dustin May - SP (elbow)
May was placed on the 15-day IL on September 9th with right elbow neuritis. That leaves him first eligible to return on September 24th, almost certainly ending his regular season.
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.
Tanner Houck - SP (forearm)
Houck was placed on the injured list on May 13th with a right flexor pronator strain. He appeared to be nearing the end of his rehab assignment before suffering a setback and has since opted for Tommy John surgery. His 2026 season and future as a starting pitcher is firmly in doubt.
Hunter Dobbins - SP (knee)
Dobbins left his start on July 11 against the Rays with a right knee injury he sustained while covering first base. It was later revealed the 25-year-old right-hander tore his ACL. The injury will require a significant rehab process that will keep him out until sometime in 2026.
Marcelo Mayer - 2B/3B (wrist)
Mayer was removed from a game against the Phillies on July 23 with right wrist discomfort and landed on the 10-day injured list with a right wrist sprain. He underwent right wrist surgery that will end his season.
Chicago Cubs
Kyle Tucker - OF (calf)
A nightmarish second half for Tucker has gotten worse. After battling a calf injury for a week, he landed on the IL with a strain. There was hope that he'd be able to return when first eligible on September 16th, but that date has passed and more recently there’s been an ominous update that his recovery has “plateaued” per manager Craig Counsell. He’s heading back to Tampa Bay for additional treatment which casts serious doubt he can return before the regular season is over.
Daniel Palencia - RP (shoulder)
Palencia was pulled from his appearance on September 7th with a shoulder injury. The team later put him on the 15-day IL with a strain, putting the rest of his season in jeopardy. Brad Keller and Andrew Kittdredge are splitting closer duties in his stead.
Owen Caissie - OF (concussion)
Caisse collided with the right field wall on Saturday, September 13th and was removed with concussion-like symptoms. He’s eligible to be activated on September 20th, but there’s no guarantee he will be.
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.
Miguel Amaya - C (oblique)
Amaya can’t catch a break this season. After missing nearly three months with an oblique strain, he went down with a scary ankle injury in his first game back and had to be carted off the field. He could play again this season, though there's been no timeline for a return.
Chicago White Sox
Luis Robert Jr. - OF (hamstring)
Robert could be done for the season with just one month left to play after he was diagnosed with a Grade 2 left hamstring strain. If that's it for the 28-year-old outfielder, he'll end the season slashing .223/.297/.364 with 14 homers and 33 steals across 431 plate appearances.
Cincinnati Reds
Cleveland Guardians
Lane Thomas - OF (plantar fasciitis)
Thomas landed back on the injured list for the second time with plantar fasciitis in his right foot in early July. The team indicated that Thomas is progressing slowly from the injury, but he's finally begun taking batting practice with hopes to return next week before the season is over.
Colorado Rockies
Seth Halvorsen - RP (elbow)
Halvorsen was diagnosed with a 'mild' flexor strain in early August. He started his progression to a throwing program in early September but there’s no indication he’ll make it back to the mound this season.
Chase Dollander - SP (knee)
Dollander hurt his knee during his start on September 11th against the Dodgers and was placed on the injured list with a patellar tendon strain. That will end his season.
Warming Bernabel - 3B (concussion)
Bernabel suffered a scary head injury after colliding with the part of the gate down the right field line in Dodger Stadium while trying to chase down a fly ball. He’s likely to miss the rest of the season.
Thairo Estrada - 2B (hamstring)
Estrada is making his third IL trip of the season, this time with a hamstring strain. The Rockies transferred him to the 60-day IL, effectively ending his season.
Detroit Tigers
Kyle Finnegan - RP (groin)
Finnegan began to feel some discomfort in his groin on September 3rd when he was warming up in the bullpen to enter a game against the Mets. He tried to rest it for a few days, but was ultimately placed on the IL shortly thereafter. That’s opened up more save opportunities for Will Vest. Yet, Finnegan has just begun a rehab assignment and could be back for the last week for the last week of the regular season.
Alex Cobb - SP (hips)
Cobb has missed the entire season to this point after signing a one year, $15 million contract with the Tigers. He had a hip impingement that led to inflammation, yet began a rehab assignment on May 30th. Then, his other hip began to give him trouble and he was shut down until the last week of July. He then started another rehab assignment before being shut down again and needing surgery. Officially out for the season, it’s up in the air whether or not he throws another pitch in the major leagues.
Matt Vierling - OF (oblique)
Vierling hit the IL with an oblique strain on August 10th. He finally began a rehab assignment in mid-September, but was pulled off it after just a few games. That’s likely an indication that his regular season is over.
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 (shoulder)
Olson will miss the rest of the regular season with a shoulder strain. The injury cropped up just after he returned from missing two months with inflammation in his right ring finger. He intends to return in time for the playoffs, but shoulder injuries can be fickle.
Houston Astros
Yordan Alvarez - OF/DH (ankle)
In a cruel turn of events, Alvarez rolled his ankle on home plate this past week and has been out of the lineup ever since. He was just beginning to find his groove after missing most of the season with a precarious hand injury and will now likely miss the rest of the regular season despite the team not placing him on the IL.
Josh Hader - RP (shoulder)
After announcing Hader was unavailable during their game on August 11th, the Astros placed him on the IL soon thereafter with what they called a shoulder strain. Things went from bad to worse when it was reported he was seeking a second opinion and we learned on August 15th that he more specifically has a sprain in his shoulder capsule and will be shut down for the next few weeks. As of September 15th, he’d still not resumed throwing and his availability for the playoffs is in doubt.
Luis Garcia - SP (elbow)
In just his second start back from Tommy John surgery, Garcia was removed with elbow discomfort and placed back on the IL. He threw a fastball 88 mph and immediately called for the trainers. This is an awful development after missing nearly 30 months following his last surgery.
Brandon Walter - SP (elbow)
Walter was placed on the IL with elbow inflammation on July 25th. He took a couple weeks off before resuming a throwing program, but was shut down again with recurring elbow soreness. It was reported he underwent surgery on September 15th, which will officially end his season.
Isaac Paredes - 3B (hamstring)
Paredes was placed on the 10-day injured list on July 20 with a significant right hamstring strain. After a few months of rest and rehab, manager Joe Espada said “there’s an outside chance” he could be back this weekend despite not getting any reps in rehab games.
Spencer Arrighetti - SP (elbow)
Arrighetti was placed on the 15-day injured list, retroactive to August 31, with right elbow inflammation. He’s heading for a second opinion, which is never a good sign. There's a strong chance his season is over and the hope is that it isn't something that could go into next season.
Kansas City Royals
Seth Lugo - SP (back)
Lugo had a start pushed back because of lower back tightness in early September and was ultimately placed on the IL. Apparently on the mend, he threw a bullpen session on September 14th, but still felt discomfort and was shut down again. It’s growing increasingly less likely he pitches again this season.
Ryan Bergert - SP (elbow)
Initially, Bergert was said to have forearm tightness. Then, he was placed on the IL with what the team called an elbow strain on September 18th. This will almost certainly end his season and casts a bit of doubt as to his health heading into 2026.
Kris Bubic - SP (shoulder)
Bubic reported some shoulder soreness after giving up four runs over 2 2/3 innings in his last start. He was placed on the 15-day injured list and transferred to the 60-day IL, sidelining him for the rest of the season. The 27-year-old left-hander had been enjoying a breakout season, posting a 2.55 ERA with a 116/39 K/BB ratio across 116 1/3 innings.
Los Angeles Angels
Zach Neto - SS (hand)
Neto battled wrist and hand soreness for the better part of a week before finally succumbing to the IL this past Tuesday. That will effectively end his season.
Travis d’Arnaud - C (concussion)
d’Arnaud was hit by a backswing in the Angels’ game on September 12th and placed on the 7-day concussion IL shortly thereafter. It’s unlikely he plays again this season.
José Soriano - SP (forearm contusion)
Soriano was struck by a 107 mph line drive on his hand in a start on September 17th. Luckily, x-rays came back negative, but the Angels still opted to place him on the IL and end his season.
Jorge Soler - OF (back)
Soler was removed from a game against the Mets on July 23 with lower back tightness and was held out of the lineup for two days before ultimately landing on the 10-day injured list with lower back inflammation. He's participated in batting practice, but has yet to go on a rehab assignment.
Nolan Schanuel - 1B (wrist)
Schanuel was placed on the 10-day injured list on August 24 with a left wrist contusion. Testing revealed no fractures or structural damage and he recently went to the Angels’ facility in Arizona to restart baseball activities. He could be back at some point during the team’s upcoming road trip.
Tyler Anderson - SP (strained oblique)
Anderson was placed on the 15-day injured list on August 30 with a left oblique strain. Given the timing of the injury, he's likely done for the season, ending his 2025 with a 4.56 ERA across 136 1/3 innings.
Los Angeles Dodgers
Will Smith - C (hand)
Smith hasn’t played since September 3rd after taking a foul ball off his throwing hand in a game against the Pirates. He rested while on the active roster and returned to the lineup six days later. After playing in that game and being penciled in to also play the next, he was suddenly scratched. That was the last time he’d play before finally being placed on the IL on September 13th. It’s a toss-up as to whether or not he’ll make it back before the end of the regular season.
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 was shut down a few weeks later and the Dodgers have since transferred him to the 60-day IL. He made his first rehab start on August 14th and his fastball sat in the low-90s for nearly a month straight. Then, last week, he was back to throwing 100 mph seemingly out of nowhere. That led to a meeting where he met with team officials to discuss a potential role on their playoff roster. Since, a calf issue cropped up that has allowed his rehab assignment to be extended past the 30-day allotment.
Miami Marlins
Kyle Stowers - OF (oblique)
The breakout outfielder was placed on the IL with an oblique strain on August 16th. It’s just a Grade 1 strain, but Marlins manager Clayton McCullough said that Stowers would be out for “several weeks”. He had started a minor league rehab assignment but was shut down after suffering a setback. Stowers' season could be over.
Edward Cabrera - SP (elbow)
Cabrera was placed on the 15-day IL with a right elbow strain after his start on August 30th. An elbow injury this late in the season is likely a season-ender, which is a shame because of how well he’s pitched. He threw a 50-pitch simulated game on Wednesday and hopes to return for one last start before the end of the season.
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 wasn't expected to be a long stay on the injured list, but after meeting with a specialist, it was determined he'd need season-ending hip surgery. He should be ready for the start of spring training next season.
Griffin Conine - OF (shoulder)
Conine suffered a dislocated left shoulder on a slide into second base on April 19 and underwent 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 Gusto - SP (shoulder)
Gusto went on the IL with a shoulder impingement after an awful outing against the Braves on August 27th where he allowed nine runs. That injury will likely end his season.
Milwaukee Brewers
Logan Henderson - SP (elbow)
Henderson was recalled from Triple-A to join the rotation after Jacob Misiorowski landed on the injured list with a shin contusion. After one start, Henderson was placed on the 15-day injured list with right elbow inflammation and later transferred to the 60-day, ending his season.
Trevor Megill - RP (elbow)
Megill blew two saves inside of a week before landing on the IL in late August with a ‘mild’ flexor strain in his right elbow. He was hoping it would be just a minimum stint on the injured list but had to shut things down for a few days after experiencing some soreness. Megill is targeting the last weekend of the season for a return before the start of the playoffs.
Jose Quintana - SP (calf)
Quintana's regular season is over after he was placed on the 15-day injured list with a left calf strain. The time off should give him plenty of time to rest before he could potentially contribute during the postseason.
Minnesota Twins
Ryan Jeffers - C (concussion)
Jeffers took a foul ball off his mask and was removed from a game against the White Sox last Thursday. He was placed on the 7-day concussion injured list after missing the next two games with no timeline to return.
Justin Topa - RP (oblique)
Topa was placed on the 15-day injured list on September 12 with a left oblique strain, likely ending his season. Topa had stepped into a high-leverage role over the last month, converting four saves.
New York Mets
Tylor Megill - SP (elbow)
Megill was placed on the 15-day IL with an elbow sprain on June 15th. It was originally reported that he'd miss about a month, but was transferred to the 60-day IL soon thereafter. He began ramping up towards the tail-end of July and had an excellent rehab stint before experiencing renewed arm soreness, likely ending his season.
Jesse Winker - OF (oblique, back)
Winker was placed on the IL with a Grade 2 oblique strain on May 5th. He came back in mid-July, played two games, and then landed back on the injured list with back inflammation. He began a rehab assignment around Labor Day, but his back was still barking and he’s been shut down indefinitely. He's likely to miss the rest of the season.
Griffin Canning - SP (torn Achilles)
Canning was removed from his start on Thursday, June 26, with a left ankle injury. It was revealed that the 29-year-old right-hander suffered a ruptured left Achilles tendon, sidelining him for the rest of the season.
New York Yankees
Clarke Schmidt - SP (Tommy John surgery)
The oft-injured Schmidt was pulled from his start on July 3rd with forearm tightness. He was then sent for an MRI that revealed a tear in his UCL that required Tommy John surgery. He will obviously be out for the rest of this season and likely most of the next one, too.
Anthony Volpe - SS (shoulder)
Volpe sat out two games and was given a cortisone shot in his left shoulder, the same shoulder he reportedly heard "go pop" in May. He's apparently felt some discomfort on occasion, though the team insists he's healthy. It could be something to monitor and might've had an effect on his performance this season.
Philadelphia Phillies
Zack Wheeler - SP (blood clot)
The Phillies pushed one of Wheeler’s starts back with what they called shoulder stiffness towards the beginning of August. Then, in his next start, he only lasted for 83 pitches and his velocity was down across the board. About a week later, we learned he had an upper extremity blood clot in his right shoulder and was placed on the IL. He’s since had successful surgery to remove the blood clot and will have a second surgery for thorcic outlet syndrome with a 6-8 month recovery timeline.
Alec Bohm - 3B (shoulder)
Bohm was placed on the 10-day injured list with left shoulder inflammation after battling some soreness. Bohm hopes to return before the end of the regular season, but it's no guarantee. Rookie Otto Kemp will step in at the hot corner in Bohm's absence.
Trea Turner - SS (hamstring)
Turner was removed from a game against the Marlins on Sunday, September 7 with right hamstring tightness. He was diagnosed with a Grade 1 hamstring strain and placed on the 10-day injured list with the expectation that he'll return before the end of the regular season. Turner was cleared to resume baseball activities earlier this week.
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 underwent season-ending surgery. He could be ready to return in early 2026 following an internal brace procedure rather than a full Tommy John surgery.
San Diego Padres
Xander Bogaerts - SS/2B (foot)
Bogaerts fouled a ball off his foot on August 27th that fractured it. It was thought that he'd miss the rest of the season but he was cleared to resume some baseball activities and could be return during the final week of the regular season.
Nestor Cortes - SP (biceps)
Cortes was placed on the 15-day injured list with left biceps tendinitis following his last start in which he surrendered six runs over 2 1/3 innings against the Orioles. It's apparently an issue Cortes had been dealing with for a while. Cortes is set to face hitters over the weekend as he ramps back up for a potential return for the postseason.
San Francisco Giants
Landen Roupp - SP (knee)
Roupp was carted off the field during his start on August 20th after he twisted his knee awkwardly while trying to field a comebacker. He was placed on the IL with what the team called left knee inflammation, but was diagnosed with a bone bruise. He's advanced to throwing bullpen sessions but is running out of time to make it back before the end of the season unless the Giants land a playoff spot.
Randy Rodriguez - SP (elbow)
The Giants’ supposed closer after Camilo Doval was shipped off the Yankees at the trade deadline, Rodriguez struggled in that role and then was placed on the 15-day IL in late August with an elbow strain. He was later recommended Tommy John surgery and transferred to the 60-day IL, ending his season.
Carson Whisenhunt - (back)
Whisenhunt reported dealing with some back discomfort after his start on August 28th and was placed on the 15-day injured list soon thereafter. He made a rehab appearance with Triple-A Sacramento this week and should return to the Giants rotation over the weekend.
Seattle Mariners
Logan Evans - SP (elbow)
Evans was pulled from his start on August 14th and was placed on the IL with elbow inflammation soon thereafter. He threw a scoreless inning with Triple-A Tacoma on Tuesday, throwing 22 pitches. He reportedly came out of the game feeling good and could potentially be an option out of the bullpen during the postseason.
St. Louis Cardinals
Masyn Winn - SS (knee)
Winn was placed on the 10-day injured list and shut down for the rest of the season with a torn meniscus in his right knee. He'll undergo surgery to repair the damage and should be ready for the start of spring training in 2026.
Willson Contreras - 1B (shoulder)
Contreras sat out a game with biceps soreness and landed on the 10-day injured list with a right shoulder strain. The timing of the injury effectively ends his season. The 33-year-old made the full transition to first base this year, slashing .257/.344/.447 with 20 home runs, 80 RBI, and five steals.
Tampa Bay Rays
Jonathan Aranda - 1B (wrist)
Aranda left the Rays' game on July 31st after Giancarlo Stanton ran through his wrist on a close play at first base and was clearly in serious pain. The 27-year-old was diagnosed with a left wrist fracture and placed on the 10-day injured list. He vowed to return before the end of the season. He resumed swinging in early September and took batting practice this week, putting him in line to make good on his word and potentially return for the final week of the regular season.
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 that he has struggled to come back from all season. The 28-year-old right-hander finally underwent season-ending surgery in an attempt to fix the nerve problem. His readiness for 2026 will be something to monitor over the offseason.
Jonny DeLuca - OF (hamstring)
DeLuca was removed from a game against the Angels in early August with left hamstring tightness. He recently suffered a setback and he's set to miss the rest of the season.
Texas Rangers
Corey Seager - SS (appendectomy)
Seager underwent an emergency appendectomy on August 28th that will reportedly keep him out for several weeks. He intends to return this season though as the surging Rangers have suddenly found themselves in the thick of the playoff race. Seager did some light jogging this week but still needs to make some strides in his hitting progression. A return before the end of the regular season seems unlikely.
Nathan Eovaldi - SP (shoulder)
Eovaldi’s tremendous season has been cut short by a rotator cuff strain that landed him on the injured list. It likely will not require surgery, which is a great sign for next year, but it’s a brutal blow for the Rangers and fantasy managers alike to lose him and his 1.73 ERA at this juncture.
Marcus Semien - 2B (foot)
Semien fouled a ball off his left foot on August 21st and spent a few days trying to play through the pain before landing on the 15-day IL. Later, imaging revealed a fracture and lisfranc sprain, which will end his season.
Evan Carter - OF (wrist)
Carter fractured his right wrist on a hit by pitch in late August and will miss the rest of the season.
Toronto Blue Jays
Bo Bichette - SS (knee)
Bichette suffered a leg injury sliding into home plate during a game against the Yankees on September 6. He was placed on the 10-day injured list with a sprained left knee. Manager John Schneider confirmed that Bichette won't return before the end of the regular season and remains without a timeline.
Anthony Santander - OF (shoulder)
Santander has been out with a shoulder injury since late May. He struggled to a .577 OPS before going out and the Blue Jays caught fire without him, so there wasn’t much of a rush on their end to bring him back. He was finally ready to start a rehab assignment with Triple-A Buffalo but suffered a bit of a setback with some lower back tightness. Santander was cleared to continue his rehab assignment and hope to get back into the Toronto lineup for the final week of the regular season.
Bowden Francis - SP (shoulder)
Francis was shut down in mid-June with a shoulder impingement and was expected to miss around a month. He suffered a setback after his first bullpen session in mid-July and moved to the 60-day injured list. Francis has progressed to facing live hitters and could return in a bullpen role during the postseason.

Keibert Ruiz - C (concussion)
Keibert was concussed after a freak incident where a foul ball from teammate Josh Bell flew into their dugout and hit him on the side of his head. He returned rather quickly, then went back on the 7-day IL just a few days later after recurring concussion-like symptoms. He began a rehab assignment in early September but was pulled after experiencing recurring symptoms. He hasn't been shut down, but a return this season is starting to seem unlikely.
