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': '2026-09-01', 'note': "Correa (ankle) has been cleared to continue ramping up his rehab at the Astros' spring training complex in Florida, Chandler Rome of The Athletic reports.", 'detail': "Coming back from left ankle surgery, Correa said Tuesday that he's been sprinting at 95 percent effort, fielding grounders and doing everything hitting-wise aside from facing live pitching. He is due to face live pitching in Florida and will also progress to running the bases and sliding. It was presumed when he had surgery in May that Correa's season was over, but he has a real chance to return later this month.", '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'}

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'}

The 33-year-old is set to become a free agent this winter after he slashed .195/.270/.329 with seven home runs, three stolen bases, 21 RBI and 21 runs over 67 games during his lone season with Philadelphia.', 'player_url': 'https://www.espn.com/mlb/player/_/id/35537'}

He's expected to be sidelined 13-to-16 months from Tuesday's surgery, so the earliest that he could return to action will be late in the 2027 season, though it's more likely that he'll be aiming toward being fully healthy for the start of the 2028 campaign. Keller will finish the 2026 regular season with a 4.02 ERA, 1.34 WHIP, 13 holds, three saves and a 32:13 K:BB across 31.1 innings.", 'player_url': 'https://www.espn.com/mlb/player/_/id/35292'}

Otto Kemp will grab the roster spot vacated by Reyes, who should receive more regular reps with Lehigh Valley.", 'player_url': 'https://www.espn.com/mlb/player/_/id/5015567'}
• {'sport': 'MLB', 'team': 'Philadelphia Phillies', 'player': 'Johan Rojas', 'position': 'CF', 'status': '60-Day-IL', 'severity': 95, 'date': '2026-06-25', 'note': 'Rojas (suspension) underwent surgery Friday to repair the UCL in his right elbow and will face an expected recovery timeline of 6-to-8 months, Scott Lauber of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.', 'detail': "Rojas remains on the restricted list while he serves an 80-game suspension stemming from a positive test for performance-enhancing drugs, but once the ban is lifted Thursday, he's expected to revert to the Phillies' injured list. The 25-year-old outfielder sustained the elbow injury earlier this month while ramping up his baseball activities in anticipation of his return from suspension. The Phillies expect Rojas will be ready to go for the start of the 2026 season, though it's possible that he'll head into spring training under some restrictions with his hitting and throwing.", 'player_url': 'https://www.espn.com/mlb/player/_/id/42829'}
• {'sport': 'MLB', 'team': 'Philadelphia Phillies', 'player': 'Tanner Banks', 'position': 'RP', 'status': '60-Day-IL', 'severity': 95, 'date': '2026-08-27', 'note': 'Banks (forearm) is scheduled to begin a rehab assignment with Triple-A Lehigh Valley on Wednesday, MLB.com reports.', 'detail': "Banks is ready to take the next step in his recovery from a strained left forearm. The Phillies will presumably have the southpaw make a handful of appearances in the minors before considering reinstating him from the injured list. Banks has been shelved since early July but is on track to rejoin Philadelphia's bullpen at some point in mid-to-late September.", 'player_url': 'https://www.espn.com/mlb/player/_/id/40437'}
• {'sport': 'MLB', 'team': 'Philadelphia Phillies', 'player': 'Caleb Kilian', 'position': 'RP', 'status': '15-Day-IL', 'severity': 80, 'date': '2026-08-10', 'note': "Phillies interim manager Don Mattingly said that Kilian suffered a right side injury during his relief appearance in Sunday's 7-6 victory over the Blue Jays in 12 innings, Matt Gelb of The Athletic reports. Kilian allowed an unearned run on one hit over an inning of relief en route to earning his fourth win of the season.", 'detail': 'Kilian entered the contest with the game tied 5-5 heading into the top of the 12th inning. The automatic runner came around to score when Blue Jays center fielder Brett Bateman led off the frame with an RBI single, but Kilian was then able to induce a double play off the bat of Jesus Sanchez before getting Alejandro Kirk to pop out to end the inning. The Phillies would go on to score two runs in the bottom of the 12th to reward Kilian with a win, but the side injury he suffered on his final pitch of the contest could put the right-hander at risk of landing on the injured list. Mattingly said that Kilian\'s injury "didn\'t look good," but the Phillies won\'t known the full extent of the issue until he undergoes further imaging Monday, per MLB.com.', 'player_url': 'https://www.espn.com/mlb/player/_/id/4875969'}
