The next step for the veteran right-hander is to pitch in an instructional league game, since the minor-league season is coming to an end. Jimenez is unlikely to pitch for Atlanta this season, but he is trending toward being available for the start of spring training.', 'player_url': 'https://www.espn.com/mlb/player/_/id/33760'}
• {'sport': 'MLB', 'team': 'Atlanta Braves', 'player': 'Joey Wentz', 'position': 'RP', 'status': '60-Day-IL', 'severity': 95, 'date': '2026-05-08', 'note': 'Atlanta placed Wentz (knee) on the 60-day injured list Tuesday.', 'detail': 'The transaction clears a 40-man roster spot for waiver pick Osvaldo Bido.

• {'sport': 'MLB', 'team': 'Atlanta Braves', 'player': 'Robert Suarez', 'position': 'RP', 'status': '60-Day-IL', 'severity': 95, 'date': '2026-09-14', 'note': 'Suarez (elbow) faced live hitters Sunday, throwing 15 pitches and touching 98 mph with his fastball, Jesus Cano of The Athletic reports. "I was very encouraged," manager Walt Weiss said afterward. "To be honest with you, I wasn\'t expecting that. I thought he kind of eased into it, but he let it go, and it was really good, and he felt really good afterwards."', 'detail': "The right-hander hasn't seen game action since June 19, but Suarez looks like he may be able to rejoin Atlanta's bullpen before the end of the regular season. He'll get in one more session against live hitters, and could then be sent on a brief rehab assignment with Triple-A Gwinnett before the International League season ends next week. Suarez has a sparkling 0.56 ERA, 0.84 WHIP and 26:6 K:BB through 32 innings this season with four wins, four saves and 12 holds in 31 appearances.", 'player_url': 'https://www.espn.com/mlb/player/_/id/4148749'}

He has been sidelined this season following surgery in February to remove bone spurs from his elbow. There's no word yet on the timeline for Schwellenbach, but it's possible he will not be ready in time for the start of the 2027 season.", 'player_url': 'https://www.espn.com/mlb/player/_/id/4424862'}

He resumed a throwing progression earlier this month, and while the team has not yet officially ruled out a return this season for the right-hander, Bowman says "the assumption since June" is that Strider will not make it back.', 'player_url': 'https://www.espn.com/mlb/player/_/id/4307825'}
• {'sport': 'MLB', 'team': 'Atlanta Braves', 'player': 'Bryce Elder', 'position': 'SP', 'status': '15-Day-IL', 'severity': 80, 'date': '2026-09-09', 'note': 'Atlanta placed Elder on the 15-day injured list Wednesday due to arthroscopic right knee surgery.', 'detail': "Elder had his knee scoped Tuesday and will miss the remainder of the regular season, though he's aiming to be available at some point during the playoffs. If he does return for the postseason, it would likely be in a relief role. The right-hander has posted a 4.11 ERA, 1.27 WHIP and 121:49 K:BB over 149 innings covering 26 starts for Atlanta this season.", 'player_url': 'https://www.espn.com/mlb/player/_/id/4301067'}

Now set to remain out for the rest of the season, he'll close the book on what seemed to be a promising 2026 campaign in which he posted a 1.85 ERA and 0.94 WHIP with a 65:19 K:BB over 68 innings.", 'player_url': 'https://www.espn.com/mlb/player/_/id/41516'}
• {'sport': 'MLB', 'team': 'Chicago Cubs', 'player': 'Cade Horton', 'position': 'SP', 'status': '60-Day-IL', 'severity': 95, 'date': '2026-05-08', 'note': 'The Cubs transferred Horton (elbow) to the 60-day injured list Saturday, Andy Martinez of Marquee Sports Network reports.', 'detail': 'Horton will miss roughly 16 months after undergoing Tommy John surgery Thursday, so the Cubs will stash him away on the 60-day IL for the rest of the year. Corbin Martin was selected from Triple-A Iowa in a corresponding move.', 'player_url': 'https://www.espn.com/mlb/player/_/id/4692526'}

The reliever has been throwing off a mound this month, but he doesn't look close to facing hitters or going out on a rehab assignment.", 'player_url': 'https://www.espn.com/mlb/player/_/id/33191'}
• {'sport': 'MLB', 'team': 'Chicago Cubs', 'player': 'Justin Steele', 'position': 'SP', 'status': '60-Day-IL', 'severity': 95, 'date': '2026-09-01', 'note': 'Steele will begin a rehab assignment with Triple-A Iowa on Wednesday, Taylor McGregor of Marquee Sports Network reports.', 'detail': "Steele has managed to successfully toss several bullpen sessions, proving that he's ready to progress to facing live hitters. He'll presumably need to make at least a few appearances in the minors before being activated from the 60-day injured list, at which point he would likely provide support for the Cubs out of the bullpen considering he won't have enough time to build back up to a starter's workload.", 'player_url': 'https://www.espn.com/mlb/player/_/id/41022'}
• {'sport': 'MLB', 'team': 'Chicago Cubs', 'player': 'Phil Maton', 'position': 'RP', 'status': '60-Day-IL', 'severity': 95, 'date': '2026-08-19', 'note': 'The Cubs transferred Maton (knee) to the 60-day injured list Wednesday.', 'detail': 'The Cubs have yet to decide whether to build Maton up for a late-season return or shut him down for the year, though the team is expected to make a decision within the next week or so. In the meantime, the Cubs will stash him away on the 60-day IL to free up a 40-man spot for Gabriel Arias, who was claimed off waivers from the Mets on Wednesday.', 'player_url': 'https://www.espn.com/mlb/player/_/id/36161'}
• {'sport': 'MLB', 'team': 'Chicago Cubs', 'player': 'Porter Hodge', 'position': 'RP', 'status': '60-Day-IL', 'severity': 95, 'date': '2026-05-08', 'note': 'The Cubs transferred Hodge (elbow) to the 60-day injured list Friday, Taylor McGregor of Marquee Sports Network reports.', 'detail': 'Hodge will miss the remainder of the 2026 season after undergoing UCL reconstruction surgery Tuesday, so the Cubs will stash him away on the 60-day IL and give his 40-man roster spot to Nicky Lopez.', 'player_url': 'https://www.espn.com/mlb/player/_/id/5185133'}

He's had difficulty recovering from his throwing sessions, and if that continues, surgery will become an option. Even if Martin doesn't go under the knife, he won't be a candidate to pitch again in 2026.", 'player_url': 'https://www.espn.com/mlb/player/_/id/5138178'}
• {'sport': 'MLB', 'team': 'Chicago Cubs', 'player': 'Shelby Miller', 'position': 'RP', 'status': '60-Day-IL', 'severity': 95, 'date': '2026-08-09', 'note': 'Miller (elbow) began a rehab assignment Sunday at Triple-A Iowa, striking out two batters while allowing one run on two hits and no walks.', 'detail': 'Miller has made remarkable progress in his recovery from Oct. 13 surgery to repair a torn right UCL tendon and flexor tendon. Though a complex procedure of that nature would normally keep a pitcher out for a full season, Miller would appear to have a strong chance at returning from the 60-day injured list by late August or early September after moving through his throwing progression without any setbacks and advancing to the final stage of his recovery process. Miller will stockpile appearances and will likely need to pitch on consecutive days at Iowa at some point over the next few weeks before the Cubs consider adding him to the big-league bullpen.', 'player_url': 'https://www.espn.com/mlb/player/_/id/30738'}
