Puk', 'position': 'RP', 'status': '60-Day-IL', 'severity': 95, 'date': '2026-08-07', 'note': 'Manager Torey Lovullo said Friday that Puk (elbow/shoulder) will remain shut down for the remainder of the season, Nick Piecoro of The Arizona Republic reports.', 'detail': "Puk suffered a shoulder capsule sprain while pitching in a rehab game in June, and MRI results revealed in July that he still hasn't fully recovered from the injury. After seeking out a second opinion, the left-hander is now officially set to miss the entire 2026 campaign. Puk is set to become a free agent this coming offseason and will shift his focus toward getting healthy for the start of 2027.", 'player_url': 'https://www.espn.com/mlb/player/_/id/36201'}
• {'sport': 'MLB', 'team': 'Arizona Diamondbacks', 'player': 'Andrew Saalfrank', 'position': 'RP', 'status': '60-Day-IL', 'severity': 95, 'date': '2026-07-18', 'note': 'Saalfrank (shoulder) has begun a throwing program, Alex Weiner of Arizona Sports reports.', 'detail': 'The throwing program began with Saalfrank tossing out to 60 feet. The left-hander underwent shoulder surgery ahead of spring training and is considered out for the season.', 'player_url': 'https://www.espn.com/mlb/player/_/id/5001155'}
• {'sport': 'MLB', 'team': 'Arizona Diamondbacks', 'player': 'Corbin Burnes', 'position': 'SP', 'status': '60-Day-IL', 'severity': 95, 'date': '2026-09-04', 'note': 'Burnes (elbow) could make his season debut for the Diamondbacks on Tuesday in Kansas City, John Gambadoro of Arizona Sports 98.7 FM reports.', 'detail': "Burnes underwent Tommy John surgery last June and suffered a setback this June with a teres major strain, but he's progressed well since the resumption of a throwing program in July and his 2026 debut is imminent. The right-hander tossed two perfect innings on 17 pitches in his first rehab start with Triple-A Reno on Aug. 29, and he was slated to throw a bridge game Thursday to further build his stamina. It's unclear how many pitches Burnes threw Thursday, but he would be quite limited from a workload perspective versus the Royals. If/when Burnes is officially tapped to start Tuesday's game, it will be his first in the big leagues in more than 15 months.", 'player_url': 'https://www.espn.com/mlb/player/_/id/39878'}
• {'sport': 'MLB', 'team': 'Arizona Diamondbacks', 'player': 'Cristian Mena', 'position': 'RP', 'status': '60-Day-IL', 'severity': 95, 'date': '2026-06-01', 'note': 'Diamondbacks manager Torey Lovullo told reporters Monday that Mena underwent surgery on his right shoulder and will be sidelined for the rest of the season, Jack Sommers of SI.com reports.', 'detail': 'Mena sustained a teres major strain in his right shoulder in June of 2025, which caused him to miss the rest of that season. He opened 2026 on the 60-day IL and was cleared to resume his throwing program in mid-May. However, it appears Mena suffered another setback in his recovery, and his shoulder injury is severe enough for him to undergo a season-ending procedure. The hope for the Diamondbacks is that the surgery will have the 23-year-old fully healthy for the start of spring training in February.', 'player_url': 'https://www.espn.com/mlb/player/_/id/4917796'}
• {'sport': 'MLB', 'team': 'Arizona Diamondbacks', 'player': 'Ryan Thompson', 'position': 'RP', 'status': '60-Day-IL', 'severity': 95, 'date': '2026-09-01', 'note': 'The Diamondbacks transferred Thompson (back) to the 60-day IL on Tuesday.', 'detail': "Thompson initially landed on the injured list Aug. 5 with a lower-back strain, so his move to the 60-day IL will officially rule him out for the rest of the season. Blake Walston (elbow) will return from the 60-day IL in a corresponding move to claim the open spot on Arizona's 40-man roster.", 'player_url': 'https://www.espn.com/mlb/player/_/id/38628'}

Although he opened the season as a starter for the Diamondbacks, the club plans to have him pitch out of the bullpen over the final month of the regular season. MLB.com targets the right-hander's possible return for Friday, when the Diamondbacks begin a homestand against the Rangers.", 'player_url': 'https://www.espn.com/mlb/player/_/id/4916269'}

The Diamondbacks plan to activate him for the series against the Royals which begins Monday. Gallen's schedule puts him in line for a possible start Wednesday.", 'player_url': 'https://www.espn.com/mlb/player/_/id/39910'}
• {'sport': 'MLB', 'team': 'Arizona Diamondbacks', 'player': 'Michael Soroka', 'position': 'SP', 'status': '15-Day-IL', 'severity': 80, 'date': '2026-09-06', 'note': "Soroka (shoulder) is expected to be activated from the 15-day injured list during Arizona's three-game series in Kansas City that begins Monday, MLB.com reports.", 'detail': "Soroka came out of four-inning, 59-pitch simulated game Friday without issue and is expected to join the rotation early in the week. Arizona is also expected to get Corbin Burnes (elbow) and Zac Gallen (elbow) back from the 60-day IL during the series in Kansas City, bringing the rotation back to full strength for the first time this season. Given that both Soroka and Gallen maxed out at around 60 pitches during their sim game Friday and aren't fully stretched out, the two could team up to pitch the final game of the series with the Royals on Wednesday.", 'player_url': 'https://www.espn.com/mlb/player/_/id/34984'}

Houston Astros

• {'sport': 'MLB', 'team': 'Houston Astros', 'player': 'Brandon Walter', 'position': 'SP', 'status': '60-Day-IL', 'severity': 95, 'date': '2026-06-04', 'note': "The Astros announced Friday that Walter (elbow) is in the midst of a throwing progression at the team's complex in West Palm Beach, Fla., Chandler Rome of The Athletic reports.", 'detail': "Walter is one of three Astros starters in Florida rehabbing from Tommy John surgery, though Hayden Wesneski (elbow) and Ronel Blanco (elbow) are further along in their programs after undergoing procedures in May and June of last year, respectively. Both Wesneski and Blanco will have chances at returning from the 60-day injured list late in the season, but since he had his surgery Sept. 23, 2025, Walter isn't a realistic candidate to pitch until 2027. Walter's main focus will be building up toward facing live hitters by the end of the season with the aim of entering spring training with few restrictions, if any.", 'player_url': 'https://www.espn.com/mlb/player/_/id/4228724'}
• {'sport': 'MLB', 'team': 'Houston Astros', 'player': 'Brice Matthews', 'position': 'CF', 'status': '60-Day-IL', 'severity': 95, 'date': '2026-08-19', 'note': 'General manager Dana Brown said Sunday that the Astros are targeting "mid-August, potentially the third week of August" for Matthews\' (knee) return from the 10-day injured list, Chandler Rome of The Athletic reports.', 'detail': "Per MLB.com, Matthews has been cleared to field grounders and hit on the field, but he has yet to resume running at full speed since landing on the injured list July 17 due to a left knee sprain. Before going down with the injury, Matthews had made six starts in center field over a seven-game stretch, but he'll be in search of playing time elsewhere once he returns after Houston acquired Daulton Varsho from Toronto on Monday.", 'player_url': 'https://www.espn.com/mlb/player/_/id/4838117'}

He is due to face live pitching in Florida and will also progress to running the bases and sliding. It was presumed when he had surgery in May that Correa's season was over, but he has a real chance to return later this month.", 'player_url': 'https://www.espn.com/mlb/player/_/id/32653'}
• {'sport': 'MLB', 'team': 'Houston Astros', 'player': 'Mike Burrows', 'position': 'SP', 'status': '15-Day-IL', 'severity': 80, 'date': '2026-09-01', 'note': 'Astros manager Joe Espada said that Burrows (elbow) was diagnosed with inflammation in his right shoulder after undergoing an MRI on Tuesday, Matt Kawahara of the Houston Chronicle reports.', 'detail': "After covering 4.1 innings and 77 pitches in his third rehab start with Triple-A Sugar Land last Wednesday, Burrows looked primed to return from the 15-day injured list and slot back into the Houston rotation this week. However, with Burrows experiencing discomfort in his shoulder while playing catch Monday, he'll now have his activation from the IL delayed indefinitely. The Astros will likely have Burrows rest for at least the next few days with the hope that the inflammation subsides and he's able to start throwing again.", 'player_url': 'https://www.espn.com/mlb/player/_/id/4918155'}

He's been dynamite out of the Houston bullpen this season, logging a 2.13 ERA, 0.87 WHIP and 68:14 K:BB over 67.2 innings. Bryan King will absorb Okert's spot on the roster and in the bullpen.", 'player_url': 'https://www.espn.com/mlb/player/_/id/33716'}
