Atlanta has not ruled out adding Jimenez to its bullpen before the end of the regular season, but it will depend on how he looks and feels in his rehab outings.", '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'}
• {'sport': 'MLB', 'team': 'Atlanta Braves', 'player': 'Spencer Strider', 'position': 'SP', 'status': '60-Day-IL', 'severity': 95, 'date': '2026-08-28', 'note': "Strider (elbow) is not expected to return to Atlanta's active roster before the end of this season, Mark Bowman of MLB.com reports.", 'detail': 'Strider has been shelved since mid-June with right elbow inflammation. 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'}

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'}
• {'sport': 'MLB', 'team': 'Atlanta Braves', 'player': 'Reynaldo Lopez', 'position': 'RP', 'status': '15-Day-IL', 'severity': 80, 'date': '2026-09-15', 'note': "Lopez (4-5) took the loss in Monday's 7-3 loss against the Cubs after allowing five runs on six hits and two walks with two strikeouts over three innings. After the game, manager Walt Weiss stated that Lopez may be placed on the injured list due to a shoulder injury, Chad Bishop of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.", 'detail': "It's clear that Lopez hasn't been himself since returning from the injured list after working through a bout of knee inflammation, and it appears as though Atlanta will place him on the shelf, which would end his 2026 regular season. Weiss noted after the game that the right-hander experience discomfort in his shoulder during Monday's start, per Jesus Cano of The Athletic, so expect a formal decision to come from the team Tuesday.", 'player_url': 'https://www.espn.com/mlb/player/_/id/33860'}

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'}
• {'sport': 'MLB', 'team': 'Houston Astros', 'player': 'Carlos Correa', 'position': 'SS', 'status': '60-Day-IL', 'severity': 95, 'date': '2026-09-17', 'note': "Imaging on Correa's surgically repaired left ankle revealed inflammation Thursday, Chandler Rome of The Athletic reports.", 'detail': "The Astros announced Wednesday that Correa won't be able to make it back before the end of the season because he couldn't handle the workload he took on while rehabbing his ankle, and his inflammation appears to be a consequence of overworking himself. The results of his tests didn't reveal any structural damage, however, so there's still a strong chance that he'll be ready to go by the time the 2027 season begins.", 'player_url': 'https://www.espn.com/mlb/player/_/id/32653'}
• {'sport': 'MLB', 'team': 'Houston Astros', 'player': 'Mike Burrows', 'position': 'SP', 'status': '60-Day-IL', 'severity': 95, 'date': '2026-09-06', 'note': 'The Astros transferred Burrows (elbow) to the 60-day injured list Sunday.', 'detail': "Burrows' move to the 60-day IL opens a 40-man roster spot for Jorge Barrosa, who was claimed off waivers from the Diamondbacks. While this transaction itself does not take Burrows out through the remainder of the regular season, he recently experienced a setback with his shoulder while rehabbing an elbow injury at Triple-A, and it's unclear at this point if he will make it back in 2026.", 'player_url': 'https://www.espn.com/mlb/player/_/id/4918155'}
• {'sport': 'MLB', 'team': 'Houston Astros', 'player': 'Steven Okert', 'position': 'RP', 'status': '15-Day-IL', 'severity': 80, 'date': '2026-09-04', 'note': 'The Astros placed Okert on the 15-day injured list Friday with a right hamstring strain, Chandler Rome of The Athletic reports.', 'detail': "It's unclear when Okert was hurt, but he hasn't pitched since Monday. 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'}
