Arizona Diamondbacks

  • {'sport': 'MLB', 'team': 'Arizona Diamondbacks', 'player': 'A.J. 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'}
  • {'sport': 'MLB', 'team': 'Arizona Diamondbacks', 'player': 'Ryne Nelson', 'position': 'SP', 'status': '60-Day-IL', 'severity': 95, 'date': '2026-09-06', 'note': 'Nelson (elbow) struck out two over a scoreless inning for Single-A Visalia on Saturday.', 'detail': "Nelson began a rehab assignment with the Rawhide and set down the side in order in the first inning. 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'}
  • {'sport': 'MLB', 'team': 'Arizona Diamondbacks', 'player': 'Zac Gallen', 'position': 'SP', 'status': '60-Day-IL', 'severity': 95, 'date': '2026-09-05', 'note': 'Gallen (elbow) threw 60 pitches and four innings in a simulated game Friday, MLB.com reports.', 'detail': "This was the second significant outing for Gallen, who began a rehab assignment Sunday. 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'}

Kansas City Royals

  • {'sport': 'MLB', 'team': 'Kansas City Royals', 'player': 'Alec Marsh', 'position': 'SP', 'status': '60-Day-IL', 'severity': 95, 'date': '2026-05-08', 'note': 'The Royals placed Marsh (shoulder) on the 60-day injured list Thursday.', 'detail': "Marsh missed all of 2025 due to shoulder problems, and after undergoing surgery in November to address the issue, he's expected to miss the entire 2026 campaign as well. His move to the 60-day IL clears space on the 40-man roster for Mitch Spence, whom the Royals acquired in a trade with the Athletics on Thursday.", 'player_url': 'https://www.espn.com/mlb/player/_/id/4424276'}
  • {'sport': 'MLB', 'team': 'Kansas City Royals', 'player': 'Carlos Estevez', 'position': 'RP', 'status': '60-Day-IL', 'severity': 95, 'date': '2026-09-01', 'note': 'Estevez will undergo season-ending surgery on his right shoulder next week, Anne Rogers of MLB.com reports.', 'detail': "Estevez began throwing in bridge league games at the Royals' complex in Arizona last week but wasn't making much progress, so the team will shut him down for the season, and the right-hander will go under the knife to address his strained rotator cuff. The 33-year-old appeared in just one game for the Royals this year, during which he gave up six earned runs while recording just one out. Kansas City is likely to decline his $13 million club option for next season.", 'player_url': 'https://www.espn.com/mlb/player/_/id/34861'}
  • {'sport': 'MLB', 'team': 'Kansas City Royals', 'player': 'Cole Ragans', 'position': 'SP', 'status': '60-Day-IL', 'severity': 95, 'date': '2026-07-02', 'note': 'Ragans underwent UCL repair surgery on his left elbow Wednesday, Anne Rogers of MLB.com reports.', 'detail': "It was unknown what type of procedure Ragans would need when the Royals announced last weekend that he was scheduled for surgery. Now confirmed to have undergone UCL repair surgery, the 28-year-old southpaw will officially miss the remainder of the season and is likely to remain out until midway through the 2027 campaign. He'll close the book on 2026 after putting up a 4.84 ERA and 1.42 WHIP alongside a 45:23 K:BB through 35.1 innings over eight starts.", 'player_url': 'https://www.espn.com/mlb/player/_/id/41054'}
  • {'sport': 'MLB', 'team': 'Kansas City Royals', 'player': 'Connor Seabold', 'position': 'RP', 'status': '60-Day-IL', 'severity': 95, 'date': '2026-08-03', 'note': 'The Royals placed Seabold on the 15-day injured list Wednesday with a right lat strain.', 'detail': 'Seabold had to be pulled from an appearance Tuesday against the Rays because of the injury. The severity of the strain is unclear, but even a mild one could result in longer than a minimum 15-day absence. Seabold has pitched for three different teams this season, collecting a 5.25 ERA and 20:11 K:BB across 24 frames.', 'player_url': 'https://www.espn.com/mlb/player/_/id/41367'}
  • {'sport': 'MLB', 'team': 'Kansas City Royals', 'player': 'James McArthur', 'position': 'RP', 'status': '60-Day-IL', 'severity': 95, 'date': '2026-08-19', 'note': 'McArthur (elbow) began a throwing progression during the second half of the season and is on a bullpen schedule, per MLB.com.', 'detail': "McArthur missed the entire 2025 season while recovering from surgery to repair a fractured right elbow before suffering a setback during spring training. The right-hander ultimately underwent another procedure in late May due to recurring soreness and inflammation in the same elbow. It's a positive sign that McArthur has progressed to a throwing program, though he may be running out of time to return to big-league action in 2026.", 'player_url': 'https://www.espn.com/mlb/player/_/id/3960883'}
  • {'sport': 'MLB', 'team': 'Kansas City Royals', 'player': 'Jonathan India', 'position': '2B', 'status': '60-Day-IL', 'severity': 95, 'date': '2026-06-04', 'note': 'no', 'detail': 'no', 'player_url': 'https://www.espn.com/mlb/player/_/id/41171'}
  • {'sport': 'MLB', 'team': 'Kansas City Royals', 'player': 'Luinder Avila', 'position': 'SP', 'status': '60-Day-IL', 'severity': 95, 'date': '2026-08-06', 'note': 'Manager Matt Quatraro said that Avila is scheduled to undergo Tommy John surgery on his right elbow Wednesday, Joel Goldberg of Bally Sports Kansas City reports.', 'detail': 'The 24-year-old was placed on the injured list Sunday due to forearm tightness, but further evaluation apparently revealed a torn UCL. Avila will miss the rest of this year and is also likely to be sidelined for the full 2027 season. He made 21 appearances (12 starts) for Kansas City prior to the injury and had a 5.53 ERA, 1.61 WHIP and 61:42 K:BB over 70 innings this season.

  • {'sport': 'MLB', 'team': 'Kansas City Royals', 'player': 'Nick Mears', 'position': 'RP', 'status': '60-Day-IL', 'severity': 95, 'date': '2026-08-26', 'note': 'Mears (shoulder) was diagnosed with thoracic outlet syndrome Saturday and will undergo season-ending surgery, MLB.com reports.', 'detail': 'Mears has been sidelined since May 29 due to a right shoulder impingement and dealt with multiple setbacks during his rehab, including a right lat strain revealed in mid-July. After progressing to mound work, the right-hander experienced renewed discomfort last week, with subsequent testing revealing thoracic outlet syndrome. Mears will finish his injury-marred first season with the Royals having posted a 5.12 ERA, 1.50 WHIP and 15:11 K:BB across 19.1 innings.', 'player_url': 'https://www.espn.com/mlb/player/_/id/42620'}
