• {'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': '2026-09-11', 'note': 'Lux (shoulder) has resumed full baseball activity, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.', 'detail': "Lux has been held out all season by shoulder and ankle injuries, but he seems to be making significant progress in his recovery from left shoulder inflammation that caused him to pause his rehab assignment in mid-July. The Rays still haven't confirmed that Lux will miss the entire 2026 campaign, but with roughly two weeks remaining in the regular season, his chances of returning in time are very slim.", 'player_url': 'https://www.espn.com/mlb/player/_/id/40423'}
• {'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': 'Garrett Cleavinger', 'position': 'RP', 'status': '15-Day-IL', 'severity': 80, 'date': '2026-09-19', 'note': 'Cleavinger (forearm) is expected to resume mound work Saturday, MLB.com reports.', 'detail': 'If all goes well then, the hope is that Cleavinger will progress to bullpen sessions thereafter. The Rays shut the southpaw down in early September due to left forearm tightness, but he should have a chance to rejoin the Tampa Bay bullpen either before the end of the regular season or at some point during the playoffs.', 'player_url': 'https://www.espn.com/mlb/player/_/id/36429'}
• {'sport': 'MLB', 'team': 'Tampa Bay Rays', 'player': 'Manuel Rodriguez', 'position': 'RP', 'status': '15-Day-IL', 'severity': 80, 'date': '2026-09-22', 'note': 'Rodriguez (back) is expected to be activated from the 15-day injured list at some point this week, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.', 'detail': 'Rodriguez has been shelved since early September with a lower-back strain, but his activation is imminent after he made three rehab appearances for Triple-A Durham. The righty has appeared in only four games for the Rays in 2026, as he got a late start to the season while recovering from flexor tendon surgery.', 'player_url': 'https://www.espn.com/mlb/player/_/id/42363'}
• {'sport': 'MLB', 'team': 'Tampa Bay Rays', 'player': 'Shane McClanahan', 'position': 'SP', 'status': '15-Day-IL', 'severity': 80, 'date': '2026-09-23', 'note': "Manager Kevin Cash said Wednesday that McClanahan (forearm) will not be included on the Rays' ALDS roster, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.", 'detail': "McClanahan had already been ruled out for the rest of the regular season due to tightness in his left forearm, and although the Rays will get a bye during the Wild Card Series, he still won't be ready to pitch by the time Tampa Bay begins its postseason run. Cash noted that it's still possible McClanahan will be available for the ALCS if the Rays advance, though they will wait to see where the left-hander is at in his throwing progression at that point before making a decision.", 'player_url': 'https://www.espn.com/mlb/player/_/id/41199'}
• {'sport': 'MLB', 'team': 'Tampa Bay Rays', 'player': 'Tyler Wells', 'position': 'RP', 'status': '15-Day-IL', 'severity': 80, 'date': '2026-09-15', 'note': 'The Rays placed Wells on the 15-day injured list Tuesday with right forearm tightness.', 'detail': "It's a big blow to the Rays' bullpen, as Wells has been lights out since landing in Tampa Bay at the trade deadline, logging a 1.50 ERA and 19:5 K:BB over 18 innings. He will not be eligible to return before the end of the regular season, but Wells could theoretically make it back for the playoffs. However, given the nature of the injury, it's possible he's thrown his last pitch this year.", 'player_url': 'https://www.espn.com/mlb/player/_/id/4717904'}

New York Yankees

• {'sport': 'MLB', 'team': 'New York Yankees', 'player': 'Giancarlo Stanton', 'position': 'DH', 'status': '60-Day-IL', 'severity': 95, 'date': '2026-09-23', 'note': "Stanton (calf) is taking live batting practice at Double-A Somerset with the possibility of being available in some capacity for next week's AL Wild Card Series, David Lennon of Newsday reports.", 'detail': 'Stanton will close the regular season on the 60-day injured list after straining his left calf in August while rehabbing a right calf strain. Despite the ongoing injury issues, it sounds like Stanton could serve as the designated hitter or perhaps as a bench bat during the first round of the playoffs. Aaron Judge (calf) is not expected to be ready for the wild-card round.', 'player_url': 'https://www.espn.com/mlb/player/_/id/30583'}
• {'sport': 'MLB', 'team': 'New York Yankees', 'player': 'Kervin Castro', 'position': 'RP', 'status': '60-Day-IL', 'severity': 95, 'date': '2026-08-26', 'note': 'The Yankees transferred Castro (elbow) from the 15-day injured list to the 60-day IL on Wednesday.', 'detail': 'The transaction frees a spot on the 40-man roster for the addition of Michael Fulmer, who signed a one-year contract. Castro hit the shelf in mid-August due to right elbow neuritis, and Gary Phillips of the New York Daily News reports that the 27-year-old is scheduled to meet with Dr. Keith Meister in the near future to determine whether surgery is necessary to address the injury. Even if Castro is able to avoid a procedure, his move to the 60-day IL officially ends his season.', 'player_url': 'https://www.espn.com/mlb/player/_/id/4717832'}
• {'sport': 'MLB', 'team': 'New York Yankees', 'player': 'Fernando Cruz', 'position': 'RP', 'status': '15-Day-IL', 'severity': 80, 'date': '2026-09-23', 'note': 'Yankees manager Aaron Boone said Wednesday on Jomboy Media\'s "Talkin\' Yanks" podcast that Cruz (elbow) has resumed throwing and is doing "pretty well."', 'detail': "Cruz was diagnosed with a partial tear in his right elbow UCL in late August. There's a distinct possibility that he'll eventually require surgery, but Cruz is attempting to pitch through the injury. He could return to make one or two late-season appearances if the reliever continues to progress.", 'player_url': 'https://www.espn.com/mlb/player/_/id/34068'}
• {'sport': 'MLB', 'team': 'New York Yankees', 'player': 'Ryan Weathers', 'position': 'SP', 'status': '15-Day-IL', 'severity': 80, 'date': '2026-09-19', 'note': "Manager Aaron Boone said Friday that Weathers (forearm) likely won't return in time to pitch again in the regular season, Bryan Hoch of MLB.com reports.", 'detail': "Out since Aug. 23 with a forearm flexor strain, Weathers was initially expected to return from the injured list and work as a reliever during the final stretch of the regular season. However, it no longer seems like he'll have enough time to build up before the campaign ends Sept. 27. The 26-year-old southpaw may still have a chance to pitch in the postseason, though the Yankees will likely wait to see how he progresses over the next week or so before determining his playoff availability.", 'player_url': 'https://www.espn.com/mlb/player/_/id/41178'}
• {'sport': 'MLB', 'team': 'New York Yankees', 'player': 'Aaron Judge', 'position': 'RF', 'status': '10-Day-IL', 'severity': 75, 'date': '2026-09-23', 'note': 'Judge (calf) said Wednesday that he intends to be ready to play in Game 1 of the American League Wild Card Series, Bryan Hoch of MLB.com reports.', 'detail': "Judge will miss the rest of the regular season due to a moderate right calf strain, but the fact that he's making an effort to play right away in the postseason is an encouraging sign of progress. However, the slugger's comments directly contradict manager Aaron Boone's belief that Judge may not be available until the ALDS. More clarity regarding Judge's return timeline will likely emerge after a few more days of recovery.", 'player_url': 'https://www.espn.com/mlb/player/_/id/33192'}
• {'sport': 'MLB', 'team': 'New York Yankees', 'player': 'Trent Grisham', 'position': 'CF', 'status': '10-Day-IL', 'severity': 75, 'date': '2026-09-24', 'note': 'Grisham (hamstring) took part in live batting practice Wednesday, MLB.com reports.', 'detail': 'Grisham is said to be "pretty deep into his running progression," which is the most significant part of his recovery from a right hamstring strain. He\'s also been hitting and doing other baseball activities. Grisham has already been ruled out from returning to action during the regular season, but if he continues to progress, he could be activated at some point during the playoffs.', 'player_url': 'https://www.espn.com/mlb/player/_/id/34995'}
• {'sport': 'MLB', 'team': 'New York Yankees', 'player': 'Clarke Schmidt', 'position': 'SP', 'status': 'Day-To-Day', 'severity': 35, 'date': '2026-09-24', 'note': "Schmidt could be shut down for the season if he's unable to pitch Thursday, MLB.com reports.", 'detail': 'After completing his recovery from an internal brace procedure he underwent in July of 2025, Schmidt returned to the Yankees and pitched a scoreless two-thirds of an inning against Minnesota on Sept. 16. However, he suffered a biceps injury while warming up in the bullpen four days later. The right-hander reportedly had a "better" day Tuesday, but it\'s still unclear if he\'ll be able to return before the end of the season. Should Schmidt not be feeling well enough to pitch by Thursday, the Yankees may decide that he\'s better off being held out of pitching until 2027.', 'player_url': 'https://www.espn.com/mlb/player/_/id/41085'}
