• {'sport': 'MLB', 'team': 'Athletics', 'player': 'Brent Rooker', 'position': 'DH', 'status': '60-Day-IL', 'severity': 95, 'date': '2026-09-16', 'note': 'Rooker (knee) was cleared to begin a hitting progression Wednesday, Martin Gallegos of MLB.com reports.', 'detail': "Rooker won't have enough time to return this season from a cartilage tear in his left knee that he suffered in June, but his return to hitting is a good sign that he'll be ready to go by next Opening Day. The A's are optimistic that he will be cleared for batting practice before the end of the season.", 'player_url': 'https://www.espn.com/mlb/player/_/id/40926'}
• {'sport': 'MLB', 'team': 'Athletics', 'player': 'Brooks Kriske', 'position': 'RP', 'status': '60-Day-IL', 'severity': 95, 'date': '2026-06-16', 'note': 'Kriske (shoulder) began a throwing progression Thursday, MLB.com reports.', 'detail': "Kriske landed on the injured list May 13 due to a right shoulder impingement and had previously been shut down from throwing. Beginning a throwing progression is a step in the right direction, though it's just the first of many as the right-hander works his way back to full health. Having been transferred to the 60-day injured list June 2, Kriske isn't eligible to be activated until after the All-Star break.", 'player_url': 'https://www.espn.com/mlb/player/_/id/42073'}
• {'sport': 'MLB', 'team': 'Athletics', 'player': 'Gunnar Hoglund', 'position': 'SP', 'status': '60-Day-IL', 'severity': 95, 'date': '2026-05-20', 'note': 'Hoglund (knee/back) will be sidelined for the rest of the 2026 season after undergoing surgery on his left hip Monday.', 'detail': "It's the same procedure that Hoglund underwent in June of 2025, which also caused him to miss the rest of the season. He opened the 2026 season on the IL due to a sprained right knee and a lumbar spine strain and was given a cortisone shot for his left hip in early May. However, his hip injury was severe enough to necessitate another procedure, but the added time on the shelf should allow his knee and back to also recover. Hoglund will be sidelined for the rest of the 2026 campaign and will aim to be fully healthy for spring training.", 'player_url': 'https://www.espn.com/mlb/player/_/id/4414154'}
• {'sport': 'MLB', 'team': 'Athletics', 'player': 'Jacob Wilson', 'position': 'SS', 'status': '60-Day-IL', 'severity': 95, 'date': '2026-09-11', 'note': 'Wilson underwent left shoulder labral surgery Wednesday, Martin Gallegos of MLB.com reports.', 'detail': 'Additionally, Wilson was administered a PRP injection Tuesday to combat patellar tendinitis in his right knee. Wilson first injured his shoulder back in early May, and he was ultimately limited to just 80 games in an injury-shortened 2026 campaign. The shortstop could be ready for Opening Day, though he is likely to be slow-played during spring training.', 'player_url': 'https://www.espn.com/mlb/player/_/id/4719300'}
• {'sport': 'MLB', 'team': 'Athletics', 'player': 'Joshua Kuroda-Grauer', 'position': '3B', 'status': '60-Day-IL', 'severity': 95, 'date': '2026-09-15', 'note': 'Kuroda-Grauer (testicle) will begin a rehab assignment with Triple-A Las Vegas on Friday, Jason Burke of Roundtable.io reports.', 'detail': "Kuroda-Grauer underwent surgery in late July to address a ruptured testicle, and he's progressed enough in his recovery to be cleared for games. The rookie should return at some point during the final week of the regular season, provided all goes well on his rehab assignment.", 'player_url': 'https://www.espn.com/mlb/player/_/id/5023768'}
• {'sport': 'MLB', 'team': 'Athletics', 'player': 'Justin Sterner', 'position': 'RP', 'status': '60-Day-IL', 'severity': 95, 'date': '2026-08-16', 'note': 'The Athletics transferred Sterner (knee) from the 15-day injured list to the 60-day IL on Sunday.', 'detail': 'After undergoing right knee surgery Friday, Sterner had already been ruled out for the rest of the season. His move to the 60-day injured list is merely procedural, as it opens up a spot on the 40-man roster for waiver pickup Joe Rock. The 29-year-old Sterner logged a 6.12 ERA, 1.38 WHIP and 40:13 K:BB over 42.2 innings out of the bullpen before hitting the shelf July 18.', 'player_url': 'https://www.espn.com/mlb/player/_/id/4307467'}
• {'sport': 'MLB', 'team': 'Athletics', 'player': 'Luis Severino', 'position': 'SP', 'status': '60-Day-IL', 'severity': 95, 'date': '2026-09-14', 'note': 'Severino (shoulder) logged a bullpen session Saturday and is expected to have a normal offseason, per MLB.com.', 'detail': 'Severino hit the injured list May 30 due to a right shoulder strain that will ultimately keep him out of action for the remainder of the season. While the right-hander won\'t return to a big-league mound in 2026, he seems to be progressing well in rehab and reportedly "looked good" in Saturday\'s session. Severino could opt out of his contract and turn down his $22 million player option for 2027 to hit the open market, but after an injury-marred campaign, he\'s likely to return to the Athletics. Before hitting the shelf, the 32-year-old posted a 2-6 record with a 4.16 ERA, 1.47 WHIP and 65:31 K:BB across 62.2 innings (12 starts).', 'player_url': 'https://www.espn.com/mlb/player/_/id/33263'}

The 35-year-old righty will close out the season with a 4.28 ERA, 1.31 WHIP, five holds and four saves across 33.2 innings.", 'player_url': 'https://www.espn.com/mlb/player/_/id/36202'}

Tampa Bay Rays

• {'sport': 'MLB', 'team': 'Tampa Bay Rays', 'player': 'Edwin Uceta', 'position': 'RP', 'status': '60-Day-IL', 'severity': 95, 'date': '2026-08-15', 'note': 'Uceta (shoulder) is playing catch from 75 feet, per MLB.com.', 'detail': "Uceta continues to progress slowly from a right shoulder impingement and subsequent subscapularis strain. The right-hander's timeline for a return to the Rays remains murky at best, and he appears to be unlikely to be an option for Tampa Bay's bullpen until sometime in September with several hurdles still left to climb.", 'player_url': 'https://www.espn.com/mlb/player/_/id/41308'}
• {'sport': 'MLB', 'team': 'Tampa Bay Rays', 'player': 'Gavin Lux', 'position': 'LF', 'status': '60-Day-IL', 'severity': 95, 'date': '2026-09-11', 'note': 'Lux (shoulder) has resumed full baseball activity, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.', 'detail': "Lux has been held out all season by shoulder and ankle injuries, but he seems to be making significant progress in his recovery from left shoulder inflammation that caused him to pause his rehab assignment in mid-July. The Rays still haven't confirmed that Lux will miss the entire 2026 campaign, but with roughly two weeks remaining in the regular season, his chances of returning in time are very slim.", 'player_url': 'https://www.espn.com/mlb/player/_/id/40423'}
• {'sport': 'MLB', 'team': 'Tampa Bay Rays', 'player': 'Jonathan Heasley', 'position': 'RP', 'status': '60-Day-IL', 'severity': 95, 'date': '2026-06-08', 'note': 'Heasley was returned to the major-league roster and placed on the 15-day injured list Tuesday with a right elbow stress reaction.', 'detail': "Heasley was outrighted to Triple-A Durham on Saturday, but because he suffered his injury during his time with the Rays, he'll be placed on the Rays' 15-day injured list and also reclaim a spot on the 40-man roster. The 29-year-old righty gave up five earned runs in four innings during his lone outing with Tampa and will likely be outrighted to Triple-A again once he's healthy.", 'player_url': 'https://www.espn.com/mlb/player/_/id/4179560'}
• {'sport': 'MLB', 'team': 'Tampa Bay Rays', 'player': 'Ryan Pepiot', 'position': 'SP', 'status': '60-Day-IL', 'severity': 95, 'date': '2026-05-08', 'note': 'Pepiot will undergo surgery on his right hip May 13 and miss the rest of the 2026 season, Ryan Bass of Rays.tv reports.', 'detail': 'The right-hander landed on the injured list with hip inflammation late in spring training and was transferred to the 60-day injured list in mid-April after suffering a setback. Pepiot received an injection after the setback, but his hip felt "unstable" when playing catch a few days later, and he\'ll now end up missing the entirety of the 2026 campaign.', 'player_url': 'https://www.espn.com/mlb/player/_/id/4208281'}
• {'sport': 'MLB', 'team': 'Tampa Bay Rays', 'player': 'Garrett Cleavinger', 'position': 'RP', 'status': '15-Day-IL', 'severity': 80, 'date': '2026-09-15', 'note': "Cleavinger (forearm) has resumed playing catch but still doesn't have a timetable for a return from the 15-day injured list, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.", 'detail': "Cleavinger landed on the IL in early September with left forearm tightness. A timeline for the reliever's return won't come into focus until he's throwing off the mound, and it's unclear when he'll be cleared for that. Cleavinger has logged a 4.79 ERA and 54:22 K:BB over 41.1 frames in 2026.", 'player_url': 'https://www.espn.com/mlb/player/_/id/36429'}
• {'sport': 'MLB', 'team': 'Tampa Bay Rays', 'player': 'Manuel Rodriguez', 'position': 'RP', 'status': '15-Day-IL', 'severity': 80, 'date': '2026-09-12', 'note': 'Rodriguez (back) is expected to join Triple-A Durham for a rehab assignment Sunday, Adam Berry of MLB.com reports.', 'detail': "Rodriguez has been on the injured list since Sept. 3 due to a lower-back strain. If all goes well on his assignment, the right-hander should return to Tampa Bay before the end of the season. He's unlikely to be a factor in fantasy leagues at this point but should bolster the playoff-bound Rays' bullpen during the postseason.", 'player_url': 'https://www.espn.com/mlb/player/_/id/42363'}
• {'sport': 'MLB', 'team': 'Tampa Bay Rays', 'player': 'Shane McClanahan', 'position': 'SP', 'status': '15-Day-IL', 'severity': 80, 'date': '2026-09-15', 'note': 'Rays manager Kevin Cash said recently that McClanahan (forearm) has resumed playing catch but still has "a long way to go" before returning to the active roster, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.', 'detail': 'McClanahan has been out since early September with left forearm tightness, and while Cash is "encouraged" the southpaw is progressing, the manager is unsure whether the hurler will make it back before the end of the regular season. If McClanahan does make a start later this month, it would likely be during the final week and would involve a pitch count.', 'player_url': 'https://www.espn.com/mlb/player/_/id/41199'}
• {'sport': 'MLB', 'team': 'Tampa Bay Rays', 'player': 'Tyler Wells', 'position': 'RP', 'status': '15-Day-IL', 'severity': 80, 'date': '2026-09-15', 'note': 'The Rays placed Wells on the 15-day injured list Tuesday with right forearm tightness.', 'detail': "It's a big blow to the Rays' bullpen, as Wells has been lights out since landing in Tampa Bay at the trade deadline, logging a 1.50 ERA and 19:5 K:BB over 18 innings. He will not be eligible to return before the end of the regular season, but Wells could theoretically make it back for the playoffs. However, given the nature of the injury, it's possible he's thrown his last pitch this year.", 'player_url': 'https://www.espn.com/mlb/player/_/id/4717904'}
