• {'sport': 'MLB', 'team': 'Detroit Tigers', 'player': 'Bailey Horn', 'position': 'RP', 'status': '60-Day-IL', 'severity': 95, 'date': '2026-07-18', 'note': 'Horn (elbow) will undergo season-ending Tommy John surgery, Chris McCosky of The Detroit News reports.', 'detail': "Horn has been on the injured list all season while working his way back from an arthroscopic procedure he underwent on his left elbow during the offseason. He was cleared to begin throwing in late May, but progress in his recovery has been slow, so he'll go under the knife once again to address the issue. He'll officially miss the entire 2026 campaign as a result, and the timing of his surgery makes it likely that he'll miss most, if not all, of the 2027 season as well.", 'player_url': 'https://www.espn.com/mlb/player/_/id/4414247'}
• {'sport': 'MLB', 'team': 'Detroit Tigers', 'player': 'Brant Hurter', 'position': 'RP', 'status': '60-Day-IL', 'severity': 95, 'date': '2026-08-26', 'note': 'Hurter (back) will resume his rehab assignment with Triple-A Toledo on Wednesday, Chris McCosky of The Detroit News reports.', 'detail': 'Hurter was pulled off his initial rehab assignment to work on mechanics after he allowed 11 runs (10 earned) in his first 3.2 innings. The lefty has been sidelined since late May with lumbar spine inflammation, and a timeline for his activation will depend on how he looks and feels in the coming days with Toledo.', 'player_url': 'https://www.espn.com/mlb/player/_/id/5197093'}
• {'sport': 'MLB', 'team': 'Detroit Tigers', 'player': 'Burch Smith', 'position': 'RP', 'status': '60-Day-IL', 'severity': 95, 'date': '2026-07-24', 'note': 'Smith is being evaluated after exiting a rehab appearance with Triple-A Toledo on Thursday with right shoulder/lat discomfort, Cody Stavenhagen of The Athletic reports.', 'detail': "Smith was making his second rehab appearance after missing nearly two months with right shoulder inflammation, so it's a worrisome setback. More should be known about the reliever's condition in the coming days.", 'player_url': 'https://www.espn.com/mlb/player/_/id/33083'}
• {'sport': 'MLB', 'team': 'Detroit Tigers', 'player': 'Justin Verlander', 'position': 'SP', 'status': '60-Day-IL', 'severity': 95, 'date': '2026-08-05', 'note': 'Verlander (hamstring/hip) threw off the front of the bullpen mound Wednesday, Jason Beck of MLB.com reports.', 'detail': "Verlander has yet to log a true bullpen session since suffering a setback during his last mound session June 17, but Wednesday's round of throwing still marks progress from playing catch. It's unclear how far he is from getting back to throwing traditional bullpen sessions, but he'll likely have to do so within the next couple of weeks to have a chance to build up his workload and make a few more starts in what will be his final season in Major League Baseball.", 'player_url': 'https://www.espn.com/mlb/player/_/id/6341'}
• {'sport': 'MLB', 'team': 'Detroit Tigers', 'player': 'Parker Meadows', 'position': 'CF', 'status': '60-Day-IL', 'severity': 95, 'date': '2026-06-25', 'note': 'Tigers manager A.J. Hinch said Tuesday that Meadows (forearm) has yet to resume hitting and is without a timeline to return from the 60-day injured list, Evan Petzold of the Detroit Free Press reports.', 'detail': "Meadows has been on the shelf since undergoing surgery April 13 to repair a radial fracture in his left forearm, which he sustained in a collision in the outfield. The 26-year-old appears to have made a full recovery from the concussion and mouth laceration that he also suffered in the collision, but due to the complex nature of his surgery, he remains limited to doing daily rehab while he waits for the fracture to heal. While Hinch indicated that Meadows hasn't hit any setbacks in the recovery process, a target date for the outfielder's return is unlikely to come into focus until he's able to take part in a full range of baseball activities.", 'player_url': 'https://www.espn.com/mlb/player/_/id/41223'}
• {'sport': 'MLB', 'team': 'Detroit Tigers', 'player': 'Reese Olson', 'position': 'SP', 'status': '60-Day-IL', 'severity': 95, 'date': '2026-05-08', 'note': 'The Tigers placed Olson on the 60-day injured list Tuesday after he underwent a right shoulder labral repair Feb. 2 that will result in him missing the 2026 season.', 'detail': "It was feared that Olson would not be ready for Opening Day, but it turned out to be worse than that. Near the end of the 2025 season, there was a hope that he could return for the postseason after hitting the injured list in July, but that did not come to fruition either. Prior to the Tigers announcing Olson's surgery, they signed Framber Valdez on Feb. 4 and Justin Verlander earlier Tuesday. Troy Melton is also an option to find time in the rotation with both Olson and Jackson Jobe (elbow) out.", 'player_url': 'https://www.espn.com/mlb/player/_/id/4734319'}
• {'sport': 'MLB', 'team': 'Detroit Tigers', 'player': 'Trey Sweeney', 'position': 'SS', 'status': '60-Day-IL', 'severity': 95, 'date': '2026-06-05', 'note': 'Sweeney will undergo season-ending shoulder surgery this week, Cody Stavenhagen of The Athletic reports.', 'detail': "Sweeney was sidelined with a shoulder strain during spring training and has experienced minimal improvement over the last four months despite receiving injections. He'll now undergo arthroscopic surgery and miss the entirety of the 2026 campaign. Sweeney has a career .202/.261/.313 slash line with 10 home runs, 49 RBI, 47 runs scored, five stolen bases and a 33:124 BB:K across 445 plate appearances over the previous two seasons.", 'player_url': 'https://www.espn.com/mlb/player/_/id/4414687'}

Hinch said Tuesday that Perez's vision is not yet back to normal after initially suffering an orbital fracture June 16 when an exercise band snapped back and hit Perez in the eye. During his rehab assignment, Perez went 0-for-12 at the plate with a sacrifice fly and six strikeouts. It appears he's looking at an extended absence.", 'player_url': 'https://www.espn.com/mlb/player/_/id/41586'}

Minnesota Twins

• {'sport': 'MLB', 'team': 'Minnesota Twins', 'player': 'Cole Sands', 'position': 'RP', 'status': '60-Day-IL', 'severity': 95, 'date': '2026-07-31', 'note': 'Sands will undergo arthroscopic surgery Tuesday to remove loose bodies and bone spurs from his right elbow, Jack Azoulay-Haron of ElEmergente.com reports.', 'detail': 'Sands has battled elbow problems throughout the 2026 season and landed back on the 15-day injured list Tuesday. He has opted for season-ending surgery to repair the issue but expects to have a "pretty much normal" offseason after getting a PRP injection post-op. Sands allowed 11 runs with an 11:5 K:BB over 12 innings for the Twins this season. The 29-year-old has two more years of arbitration eligibility remaining.', 'player_url': 'https://www.espn.com/mlb/player/_/id/3983841'}
• {'sport': 'MLB', 'team': 'Minnesota Twins', 'player': 'David Festa', 'position': 'SP', 'status': '60-Day-IL', 'severity': 95, 'date': '2026-07-29', 'note': 'Festa (shoulder) will undergo a season-ending double surgery Wednesday, Dan Hayes of The Athletic reports.', 'detail': "Festa will undergo an arthroscopic procedure on his right shoulder to address his impingement, and he will also receive a second operation on his pectoral muscle to address neurogenic thoracic outlet syndrome symptoms. The two surgeries will ensure that he misses the remainder of the season, though it's unclear whether his absence will extend into the 2027 campaign.", 'player_url': 'https://www.espn.com/mlb/player/_/id/5124114'}

Given that he won't even be cleared to throw until he's re-evaluated and will required an extended ramp-up period, Abel appears likely to remain out until the end of the regular season Sept. 27. Even if Abel avoids any further snags when he's eventually cleared to throw and makes it back from the injured list before the end of the season, he won't have enough time to get built back up as a starter and will be ticketed for a relief role.", 'player_url': 'https://www.espn.com/mlb/player/_/id/4718970'}
• {'sport': 'MLB', 'team': 'Minnesota Twins', 'player': 'Mike Paredes', 'position': 'SP', 'status': '60-Day-IL', 'severity': 95, 'date': '2026-08-02', 'note': 'The Twins transferred Paredes (oblique) from the 15-day injured list to the 60-day IL on Saturday.', 'detail': "Shortly after his initial placement on the IL, Paredes was diagnosed with a Grade 2 left oblique strain, per MLB.com. After shifting to the 60-day IL to clear a 40-man roster spot for the newly acquired Dean Kremer, Paredes won't be eligible to rejoin Minnesota until Sept. 21.", 'player_url': 'https://www.espn.com/mlb/player/_/id/5337593'}

His move to the 60-day IL will create a spot on the 40-man roster for Zak Kent, who was claimed off waivers from the Cardinals on Thursday.', 'player_url': 'https://www.espn.com/mlb/player/_/id/39671'}

He expects to be ready for the start of spring training in February.

The Twins will have a better sense of the right-hander's timeline for a return from the IL after Wednesday's throwing session, though Shelton indicated that Ryan will need to go on a rehab assignment prior to being activated.", 'player_url': 'https://www.espn.com/mlb/player/_/id/42450'}
• {'sport': 'MLB', 'team': 'Minnesota Twins', 'player': 'Austin Martin', 'position': 'RF', 'status': '10-Day-IL', 'severity': 75, 'date': '2026-08-17', 'note': "Twins manager Derek Shelton said that Martin sustained a left hamstring strain in the eighth inning of Sunday's 7-5 loss to the Phillies and will be sent in for an MRI, Aaron Gleeman of Aaron Gleeman.com reports.", 'detail': "Martin didn't start but entered Sunday's contest in the top of the eighth as a defensive replacement in left field for Trevor Larnach. With one out in the frame, Martin appeared to pull up lame while pursuing a Luis Arraez line drive down the left-field line, prompting the Twins to pull him from the game immediately. Shelton said the MRI will clarify the severity of Martin's hamstring strain, but even a mild injury could be enough to send the outfielder to the injured list.", 'player_url': 'https://www.espn.com/mlb/player/_/id/4297998'}
