New York Mets

• {'sport': 'MLB', 'team': 'New York Mets', 'player': 'Jorge Polanco', 'position': 'DH', 'status': '60-Day-IL', 'severity': 95, 'date': '2026-08-28', 'note': 'The Mets transferred Polanco (ankle) to the 60-day injured list Friday.', 'detail': "The transaction clears a spot on the 40-man roster for the addition of Chris Devenski. Polanco had previously been ruled out for the season when it was decided earlier this month that he'd have surgery on his left ankle.", 'player_url': 'https://www.espn.com/mlb/player/_/id/32525'}
• {'sport': 'MLB', 'team': 'New York Mets', 'player': 'Justin Hagenman', 'position': 'RP', 'status': '60-Day-IL', 'severity': 95, 'date': '2026-08-31', 'note': "The Mets are planning to activate Hagenman (rib) from the 60-day injured list to start Wednesday's game against the Rays at Tropicana Field, Mike Puma of the New York Post reports.", 'detail': "Hagenman won't be guaranteed any additional starts beyond Wednesday, as Puma notes that the Mets may be inserting the righty into the rotation this week simply as a means to build in a couple extra days of rest for Christian Scott and their other four starters. The 29-year-old has been on the shelf all season after fracturing a rib in a March 5 Grapefruit League game, with his slow recovery from the injury preventing him from beginning a rehab assignment until Aug. 18. He's pitched effectively across three starts in the minors (one with Single-A St. Lucie, two with Triple-A Syracuse), producing a 2.89 ERA and 1.07 WHIP across 9.1 innings. Hagenman tossed 64 pitches in his final rehab outing Friday, so he'll likely be operating with a restricted workload in his 2026 Mets debut.", 'player_url': 'https://www.espn.com/mlb/player/_/id/4991251'}
• {'sport': 'MLB', 'team': 'New York Mets', 'player': 'Reed Garrett', 'position': 'RP', 'status': '60-Day-IL', 'severity': 95, 'date': '2026-05-08', 'note': 'The Mets placed Garrett (elbow) on the 60-day injured list Tuesday.', 'detail': 'The transaction frees up a 40-man roster spot for the addition of Bryan Hudson. Garrett underwent UCL reconstruction surgery in October and will miss the entire 2026 season.', 'player_url': 'https://www.espn.com/mlb/player/_/id/36526'}
• {'sport': 'MLB', 'team': 'New York Mets', 'player': 'Tylor Megill', 'position': 'SP', 'status': '60-Day-IL', 'severity': 95, 'date': '2026-05-08', 'note': 'The Mets placed Megill (elbow) on the 60-day injured list Thursday, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.', 'detail': 'The move frees up a spot on the 40-man roster for MJ Melendez, who signing became official Thursday. Megill will miss the entire 2026 season following September 2025 Tommy John surgery.', 'player_url': 'https://www.espn.com/mlb/player/_/id/3332018'}
• {'sport': 'MLB', 'team': 'New York Mets', 'player': 'Cionel Perez', 'position': 'RP', 'status': '15-Day-IL', 'severity': 80, 'date': '2026-07-31', 'note': 'The Mets placed Perez on the 15-day injured list Friday with a left forearm strain.', 'detail': 'Perez has tossed 5.2 scoreless frames with a 9:0 K:BB over his last five appearances but will now be shelved for at least the next couple weeks. The Mets have added Jonathan Pintaro and Xzavion Curry to their bullpen.', 'player_url': 'https://www.espn.com/mlb/player/_/id/36089'}
• {'sport': 'MLB', 'team': 'New York Mets', 'player': 'Devin Williams', 'position': 'RP', 'status': '15-Day-IL', 'severity': 80, 'date': '2026-08-29', 'note': 'Williams (shoulder) began playing catch Saturday, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.', 'detail': "It's the first time Williams has done any sort of throwing since he landed on the injured list Aug. 10 with a strained right shoulder. He still has several more hurdles to clear before he can return from the injured list, but the Mets expect the 31-year-old closer to return to the bullpen sometime in September. Until then, Kodai Senga figures to continue receiving the bulk of save opportunities.", 'player_url': 'https://www.espn.com/mlb/player/_/id/33224'}

Tampa Bay Rays

• {'sport': 'MLB', 'team': 'Tampa Bay Rays', 'player': 'Edwin Uceta', 'position': 'RP', 'status': '60-Day-IL', 'severity': 95, 'date': '2026-08-15', 'note': 'Uceta (shoulder) is playing catch from 75 feet, per MLB.com.', 'detail': "Uceta continues to progress slowly from a right shoulder impingement and subsequent subscapularis strain. The right-hander's timeline for a return to the Rays remains murky at best, and he appears to be unlikely to be an option for Tampa Bay's bullpen until sometime in September with several hurdles still left to climb.", 'player_url': 'https://www.espn.com/mlb/player/_/id/41308'}
• {'sport': 'MLB', 'team': 'Tampa Bay Rays', 'player': 'Gavin Lux', 'position': 'LF', 'status': '60-Day-IL', 'severity': 95, 'date': '2026-08-11', 'note': 'Lux (shoulder) is unlikely to return this season, per MLB.com.', 'detail': "Lux's most recent setback saw him get shut down in mid-July after receiving an injection in his right shoulder. His initial rehab assignment in April was halted by a sprained left ankle, and the infielder was later pulled off another minor-league stint with left shoulder inflammation. The Rays haven't officially ruled out Lux for the remainder of the year, but his status for the rest of 2026 is in major doubt.", 'player_url': 'https://www.espn.com/mlb/player/_/id/40423'}
• {'sport': 'MLB', 'team': 'Tampa Bay Rays', 'player': 'Jake Fraley', 'position': 'RF', 'status': '60-Day-IL', 'severity': 95, 'date': '2026-08-26', 'note': 'Fraley (hernia) went 1-for-3 while playing six innings in right field Tuesday in his first rehab game for Triple-A Durham.', 'detail': "After undergoing hernia surgery in May and landing on the injured list, Fraley received the green light to begin a rehab assignment in late June. The 31-year-old made just five appearances in the minors before being pulled off the assignment in mid-July when he experienced a setback, but after a prolonged shutdown, he's made enough progress to resume playing in games. Due to the extended time he's missed, Fraley will likely need multiple games at Triple-A to regain his timing at the plate and improve his conditioning. He could be a candidate to return from the 60-day injured list after the active roster expands to 28 men next Tuesday.", 'player_url': 'https://www.espn.com/mlb/player/_/id/37974'}
• {'sport': 'MLB', 'team': 'Tampa Bay Rays', 'player': 'Jonathan Heasley', 'position': 'RP', 'status': '60-Day-IL', 'severity': 95, 'date': '2026-06-08', 'note': 'Heasley was returned to the major-league roster and placed on the 15-day injured list Tuesday with a right elbow stress reaction.', 'detail': "Heasley was outrighted to Triple-A Durham on Saturday, but because he suffered his injury during his time with the Rays, he'll be placed on the Rays' 15-day injured list and also reclaim a spot on the 40-man roster. The 29-year-old righty gave up five earned runs in four innings during his lone outing with Tampa and will likely be outrighted to Triple-A again once he's healthy.", 'player_url': 'https://www.espn.com/mlb/player/_/id/4179560'}
• {'sport': 'MLB', 'team': 'Tampa Bay Rays', 'player': 'Ryan Pepiot', 'position': 'SP', 'status': '60-Day-IL', 'severity': 95, 'date': '2026-05-08', 'note': 'Pepiot will undergo surgery on his right hip May 13 and miss the rest of the 2026 season, Ryan Bass of Rays.tv reports.', 'detail': 'The right-hander landed on the injured list with hip inflammation late in spring training and was transferred to the 60-day injured list in mid-April after suffering a setback. Pepiot received an injection after the setback, but his hip felt "unstable" when playing catch a few days later, and he\'ll now end up missing the entirety of the 2026 campaign.', 'player_url': 'https://www.espn.com/mlb/player/_/id/4208281'}
• {'sport': 'MLB', 'team': 'Tampa Bay Rays', 'player': 'Cole Sulser', 'position': 'RP', 'status': '15-Day-IL', 'severity': 80, 'date': '2026-08-20', 'note': 'Sulser (back) threw a clean inning for Triple-A Durham on Wednesday, per MLB.com.', 'detail': "Sulser started a minor-league rehab assignment, the final step before rejoining Tampa Bay's bullpen. The right-hander is recovering from lower-back spasms and should make his return before the end of August, barring any setbacks.", 'player_url': 'https://www.espn.com/mlb/player/_/id/37825'}
• {'sport': 'MLB', 'team': 'Tampa Bay Rays', 'player': 'Griffin Jax', 'position': 'SP', 'status': '15-Day-IL', 'severity': 80, 'date': '2026-08-24', 'note': 'Jax (elbow) struck out two in a rehab start for Triple-A Durham on Sunday, allowing three runs on three hits and two walks in three innings.', 'detail': "Jax built himself up to 42 pitches Sunday, taking one step closer to rejoining Tampa Bay's rotation. The right-hander is recovering from right elbow discomfort, and it's possible his next appearance will come in the major leagues. It remains to be seen if the Rays will shift Ian Seymour back to the bullpen upon Jax's return or if they'll instead turn to a six-man rotation.", 'player_url': 'https://www.espn.com/mlb/player/_/id/42604'}
• {'sport': 'MLB', 'team': 'Tampa Bay Rays', 'player': 'Ben Williamson', 'position': '2B', 'status': '10-Day-IL', 'severity': 75, 'date': '2026-08-07', 'note': 'The Rays placed Williamson on the 10-day injured list Friday, retroactive to Thursday, due to a right hamstring strain.', 'detail': "Williamson tweaked his hamstring during Wednesday's game against the Rockies, and the injury is severe enough for him to require a stint on the injured list. A minimum stint on the IL would have Williamson on track to return mid-August, but hamstring strains typically take a longer time to recover from. Carson Williams was recalled from Triple-A Durham in a corresponding move to bolster the Rays' infield depth in Williamson's absence.", 'player_url': 'https://www.espn.com/mlb/player/_/id/4626239'}
