• {'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': 'Carlos Correa', 'position': 'SS', 'status': '60-Day-IL', 'severity': 95, 'date': '2026-09-17', 'note': "Medical 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 the 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': '2026-09-22', 'note': 'The Astros returned Burrows (elbow/shoulder) from his rehab assignment Monday.', 'detail': "Burrows landed on the injured list in mid-July with right elbow inflammation, and he suffered a setback with his shoulder at the beginning of September that has extended his stint on the IL. He was cleared to restart his rehab assignment Saturday and pitched two shutout innings, but the fact that the Astros have again halted his assignment without activating him doesn't bode well for his chances of returning in the regular season.", 'player_url': 'https://www.espn.com/mlb/player/_/id/4918155'}
• {'sport': 'MLB', 'team': 'Houston Astros', 'player': 'Cristian Javier', 'position': 'SP', 'status': '15-Day-IL', 'severity': 80, 'date': '2026-09-23', 'note': "Javier was removed from Tuesday's game against the Mariners with right groin tightness, Chandler Rome of The Athletic reports.", 'detail': "Javier gave up one hit and two walks while striking out two batters in two scoreless innings before his groin forced him to make a premature exit. The 29-year-old righty is tentatively lined up to start Houston's regular-season finale against the A's on Sunday, but the team will presumably monitor his status over the next several days before making a decision regarding his availability.", 'player_url': 'https://www.espn.com/mlb/player/_/id/41261'}
• {'sport': 'MLB', 'team': 'Houston Astros', 'player': 'Enyel De Los Santos', 'position': 'RP', 'status': '15-Day-IL', 'severity': 80, 'date': '2026-09-19', 'note': 'De Los Santos secured the save Thursday against the Tigers, allowing one run on two hits and no walks in the ninth inning. He did not record a strikeout.', 'detail': 'De Los Santos served up a solo home run to Dillon Dingler before letting the possible tying run get aboard, but Colt Keith grounded into a double play to end the game. Closer Josh Hader worked each of the past two days, so De Los Santos should revert back to a setup role going forward. The right-hander has a 4.79 ERA, 1.18 WHIP and 33:8 K:BB over 35.2 innings while converting five of his seven save chances.', 'player_url': 'https://www.espn.com/mlb/player/_/id/35026'}
• {'sport': 'MLB', 'team': 'Houston Astros', 'player': 'Steven Okert', 'position': 'RP', 'status': '15-Day-IL', 'severity': 80, 'date': '2026-09-19', 'note': 'Okert (hamstring) will not return from the injured list before the end of the regular season, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports.', 'detail': "Okert has been dealing with a hamstring strain since Sept. 4 and isn't scheduled to resume throwing off a mound until next week. He'll then require additional bullpen sessions and PFP drills before being cleared to return, and there simply won't be enough time to squeeze all of that in before the regular season ends Sept. 27. The door is still open for him to return at some point during the postseason if the Astros secure a spot.", 'player_url': 'https://www.espn.com/mlb/player/_/id/33716'}
• {'sport': 'MLB', 'team': 'Houston Astros', 'player': 'Brice Matthews', 'position': 'CF', 'status': '10-Day-IL', 'severity': 75, 'date': '2026-09-24', 'note': "Matthews was removed from Tuesday's game against the Mariners with an apparent leg injury, Chandler Rome of The Athletic reports.", 'detail': "Matthews came up limping after making a diving catch in center field during the second inning of Tuesday's game, and he was eventually pulled in the sixth. The fact that he was able to remain in the game for a while after making the play is an encouraging sign, though the Astros will likely provide more information on his health in the near future.", 'player_url': 'https://www.espn.com/mlb/player/_/id/4838117'}
• {'sport': 'MLB', 'team': 'Houston Astros', 'player': 'Daulton Varsho', 'position': 'CF', 'status': 'Day-To-Day', 'severity': 35, 'date': '2026-09-24', 'note': "Varsho (wrist) isn't in the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Mariners, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports.", 'detail': 'Varsho will miss a third consecutive start Wednesday as he continues to recover from a left wrist injury. The Astros recalled Lucas Spence from Triple-A to provide some insurance in the outfield while Varsho is hurt, and the former will start in center field, batting eighth.', 'player_url': 'https://www.espn.com/mlb/player/_/id/40963'}

Athletics

• {'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': '2026-09-17', 'note': 'The Athletics announced that Kriske underwent season-ending surgery Sept. 1 to address a right shoulder impingement, MLB.com reports.', 'detail': "The 32-year-old righty made just two relief appearances for the Athletics before landing on the injured list May 13 due to the shoulder injury. After making limited progress over the past few months while he worked his way through a throwing program, Kriske eventually opted for surgery to address the injury. He'll likely be a non-tender candidate heading into the upcoming offseason.", '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': 'J.T. Ginn', 'position': 'SP', 'status': '60-Day-IL', 'severity': 95, 'date': '2026-09-22', 'note': 'The Athletics transferred Ginn (elbow) to the 60-day injured list Tuesday.', 'detail': 'In a pair of corresponding moves Tuesday, the Athletics reinstated Joshua Kuroda-Grauer (groin) from the 60-day injured list and placed Max Muncy (knee) on the 10-day injured list. Ginn faced the possibility of returning at the end of the 2026 season, but he was behind schedule in his recovery program, which inevitably led to his season concluding early. The starting pitcher landed on the 15-day injured list at the beginning of September due to a right elbow impingement.', 'player_url': 'https://www.espn.com/mlb/player/_/id/4414002'}
• {'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': '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'}
• {'sport': 'MLB', 'team': 'Athletics', 'player': 'Mark Leiter Jr.', 'position': 'RP', 'status': '60-Day-IL', 'severity': 95, 'date': '2026-07-30', 'note': 'Leiter will undergo surgery Tuesday to address a right hip impingement and is expected to miss the remainder of the season, Martin Gallegos of MLB.com reports.', 'detail': "Leiter landed on the 15-day injured list Tuesday due to the injury, which he'll opt to treat with a procedure rather than rest and rehab. 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'}
