• {'sport': 'MLB', 'team': 'Milwaukee Brewers', 'player': 'Angel Zerpa', 'position': 'RP', 'status': '60-Day-IL', 'severity': 95, 'date': '2026-05-31', 'note': 'The Brewers transferred Zerpa (elbow) to the 60-day injured list Sunday.', 'detail': 'This transaction has been an eventuality since it was announced in early May that Zerpa required a UCL reconstruction on his left elbow. The 26-year-old is expected to be sidelined until around midseason of 2027.', 'player_url': 'https://www.espn.com/mlb/player/_/id/4705673'}
• {'sport': 'MLB', 'team': 'Milwaukee Brewers', 'player': 'Brandon Woodruff', 'position': 'SP', 'status': '60-Day-IL', 'severity': 95, 'date': '2026-08-22', 'note': 'Woodruff did not undergo surgery on his right shoulder and is scheduled to begin a throwing program Wednesday, Curt Hogg of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.', 'detail': 'Woodruff said in July that he would undergo season-ending capsule repair surgery on his right shoulder, but he first wanted to exhaust all his options before going under the knife. Imaging on his shoulder taken four weeks after he suffered his injury revealed unexpected healing, eliminating the need for the 33-year-old to undergo surgery. The Brewers will put him through a five-week throwing program before reevaluating him, per Hogg, which will keep Woodruff out through the end of the regular season but could enable him to pitch in the postseason if things go well.', 'player_url': 'https://www.espn.com/mlb/player/_/id/37515'}
• {'sport': 'MLB', 'team': 'Milwaukee Brewers', 'player': 'Brian Fitzpatrick', 'position': 'RP', 'status': '60-Day-IL', 'severity': 95, 'date': '2026-07-05', 'note': 'Fitzpatrick (elbow) underwent Tommy John surgery over the past week, Curt Hogg of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.', 'detail': "Fitzpatrick was diagnosed with a left UCL strain in early June, necessitating this week's surgery. He'll now be sidelined for the remainder of the current campaign and much of 2027, though he could return in the second half of next season if his recovery and rehab goes well.", 'player_url': 'https://www.espn.com/mlb/player/_/id/4621433'}

After consulting with Dr. Gregory Pearl on Tuesday, the decision was made to have surgery. Priester expects to be ready to go for the beginning of next season, but the track record of pitchers coming back from this type of procedure isn't great.", 'player_url': 'https://www.espn.com/mlb/player/_/id/42449'}
• {'sport': 'MLB', 'team': 'Milwaukee Brewers', 'player': 'Rob Zastryzny', 'position': 'RP', 'status': '60-Day-IL', 'severity': 95, 'date': '2026-07-16', 'note': 'The Brewers transferred Zastryzny (shoulder) to the 60-day injured list Wednesday.', 'detail': "Milwaukee needed to free up a spot on its 40-man roster following the acquisitions of Lance McCullers (shoulder) and Colton Gordon from the Astros. The transaction does not alter Zastryzny's timeline, as he's been out all season with shoulder and intercostal injuries. Zastryzny has made three appearances after resuming his rehab assignment earlier this month, but it's unclear when or if he will return to the Brewers' active roster.", 'player_url': 'https://www.espn.com/mlb/player/_/id/36025'}

Once activated, he'll reclaim his role as Milwaukee's top setup man in front of closer Trevor Megill.", 'player_url': 'https://www.espn.com/mlb/player/_/id/4917865'}
• {'sport': 'MLB', 'team': 'Milwaukee Brewers', 'player': 'JoJo Romero', 'position': 'RP', 'status': '15-Day-IL', 'severity': 80, 'date': '2026-08-24', 'note': 'Romero (appendectomy) will begin a rehab assignment Tuesday at High-A Wisconsin.', 'detail': "The 29-year-old southpaw will be making his organizational debut, after the Cardinals placed him on the injured list coming out of the All-Star break following his emergency appendectomy before trading him to the Brewers on Aug. 3. Because he's been out for more than a month, the Brewers will likely want Romero to make multiple appearances in the minors before clearing him to join the big-league bullpen. He could be a candidate for activation when the roster expands to 28 men Sept. 1.", 'player_url': 'https://www.espn.com/mlb/player/_/id/40456'}

Though Kuhnel pounded the strike zone, batters were able to easily square up on him, as all three hits he allowed went for extra bases (one home run, two doubles). The right-hander will need to show improved results over his next few rehab appearances before rejoining the Milwaukee bullpen.', 'player_url': 'https://www.espn.com/mlb/player/_/id/40855'}

He is headed back to Chicago to be evaluated and is "gonna slow it down in some way," per Counsell. Brown hasn\'t pitched in a game since late June, and he now looks like a long shot to make it back before the end of the season.', 'player_url': 'https://www.espn.com/mlb/player/_/id/41516'}

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': '2026-08-24', 'note': 'Steele (elbow) is hoping to start a rehab assignment after throwing two more live bullpen sessions, Taylor McGregor of Marquee Sports Network reports.', 'detail': "Steele has been ramping up his activity since being cleared to resume throwing in early August.

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'}
• {'sport': 'MLB', 'team': 'Chicago Cubs', 'player': 'Riley Martin', 'position': 'RP', 'status': '60-Day-IL', 'severity': 95, 'date': '2026-08-19', 'note': 'Cubs manager Craig Counsell said Wednesday that Martin (elbow) has been ruled out for the remainder of the season, Meghan Montemurro of the Chicago Tribune reports.', 'detail': "Martin has been shelved since late April with a left flexor strain. 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'}
