• {'sport': 'MLB', 'team': 'Toronto Blue Jays', 'player': 'Jameson Taillon', 'position': 'SP', 'status': 'Out', 'severity': 100, 'date': '2026-09-05', 'note': 'Taillon (elbow) will undergo an MRI on Friday night and will likely be placed on the injured list Saturday, Arden Zwelling of Sportsnet.ca reports.', 'detail': "Taillon's return from the IL didn't last long, as the elbow injury -- described by Taillon as more of a nerve issue -- cut his outing Friday short after two innings and 29 pitches. The Blue Jays' hands are tied with the bullpen taxed in relief of Taillon, and their options to replace Taillon in the rotation are limited with Trey Yesavage (knee) still a little ways off.", 'player_url': 'https://www.espn.com/mlb/player/_/id/31258'}
• {'sport': 'MLB', 'team': 'Toronto Blue Jays', 'player': 'Addison Barger', 'position': 'RF', 'status': '60-Day-IL', 'severity': 95, 'date': '2026-07-27', 'note': 'Barger is expected to be sidelined six months following surgery Monday to repair his right elbow UCL, Shi Davidi of Sportsnet.ca reports.', 'detail': 'The good news is Barger did not require a full Tommy John repair, which means he is expected to be ready in time for the start of spring training as long as his rehab proceeds smoothly. Barger played only nine games for the Blue Jays this season due to injuries.', 'player_url': 'https://www.espn.com/mlb/player/_/id/4997589'}
• {'sport': 'MLB', 'team': 'Toronto Blue Jays', 'player': 'Anthony Santander', 'position': 'RF', 'status': '60-Day-IL', 'severity': 95, 'date': '2026-09-03', 'note': "Blue Jays manager John Schneider said Thursday that Santander (shoulder) has been facing live pitching this week at the team's spring training complex in Florida and could be ready for a rehab assignment next week, Hazel Mae of Sportsnet reports.", 'detail': "Santander had surgery in February to repair his left shoulder labrum, but he's given himself a chance to return before the end of this month with his recent progress. Still, the odds are long that he's able to make it back in the coming weeks and contribute offensively following an extended layoff.", 'player_url': 'https://www.espn.com/mlb/player/_/id/36084'}
• {'sport': 'MLB', 'team': 'Toronto Blue Jays', 'player': 'Bowden Francis', 'position': 'SP', 'status': '60-Day-IL', 'severity': 95, 'date': '2026-05-08', 'note': 'The Blue Jays placed Francis (elbow) on the 60-day injured list Wednesday.', 'detail': 'Francis will miss the entire 2026 season after the Blue Jays recently revealed that he would need reconstructive surgery on his right elbow, so his move to the 60-day IL was merely procedural. The transaction clears a spot on the 40-man roster for infielder Ben Cowles, whom the Blue Jays claimed off waivers from the Cubs.', 'player_url': 'https://www.espn.com/mlb/player/_/id/4734325'}

He signed a three-year, $30 million contract with the Blue Jays in December after spending three seasons in Japan. Ponce's start against the Rockies on March 30 -- when he suffered his injury -- was his first appearance in an MLB game since 2021, when he played with the Pirates.", 'player_url': 'https://www.espn.com/mlb/player/_/id/34999'}
• {'sport': 'MLB', 'team': 'Toronto Blue Jays', 'player': 'Jake Bloss', 'position': 'SP', 'status': '60-Day-IL', 'severity': 95, 'date': '2026-08-12', 'note': 'The Blue Jays recalled Bloss from Triple-A Buffalo on Wednesday and placed him on the 60-day injured list while he recovers from a right teres major strain, Arden Zwelling of Sportsnet.ca reports.', 'detail': "The transaction clears a spot on the Blue Jays' 40-man roster for the addition of waiver claim Paul Sewald. Bloss had been shelved at Triple-A for the past month due to the injury, and while he should be ready to go for the start of the 2027 season, he's not expected to pitch again in 2026, per MLB.com.", 'player_url': 'https://www.espn.com/mlb/player/_/id/5137945'}
• {'sport': 'MLB', 'team': 'Toronto Blue Jays', 'player': 'Jonatan Clase', 'position': 'LF', 'status': '60-Day-IL', 'severity': 95, 'date': '2026-08-27', 'note': 'The Blue Jays transferred Clase (foot) to the 60-day injured list Thursday, Shi Davidi of Sportsnet.ca reports.', 'detail': "Clase has been on the injured list since July 22 due to left foot plantar fasciitis. His earliest eligibility to return is Sept. 20, which means there's a chance he will not make another big league appearance in 2026. The outfielder was transferred to the 60-day injured list to make room on the 40-man roster for the signing of Michael Lorenzen.", 'player_url': 'https://www.espn.com/mlb/player/_/id/4918159'}
• {'sport': 'MLB', 'team': 'Toronto Blue Jays', 'player': 'Jose Berrios', 'position': 'SP', 'status': '60-Day-IL', 'severity': 95, 'date': '2026-05-27', 'note': 'Blue Jays manager John Schneider said that Berrios underwent full Tommy John surgery Wednesday in addition to having a stress fracture repaired, Hazel Mae of Sportsnet reports.', 'detail': 'The Blue Jays and Berrios went into the operation unsure whether the pitcher would require a ligament repair, and as it turns out he required a full UCL procedure. Berrios has been sidelined all season with elbow problems and will now likely be shelved until at least the second half of the 2027 campaign.', 'player_url': 'https://www.espn.com/mlb/player/_/id/32811'}

His move to the 60-day IL clears space on the 40-man roster for Mitch Spence, whom the Royals acquired in a trade with the Athletics on Thursday.", 'player_url': 'https://www.espn.com/mlb/player/_/id/4424276'}
• {'sport': 'MLB', 'team': 'Kansas City Royals', 'player': 'Carlos Estevez', 'position': 'RP', 'status': '60-Day-IL', 'severity': 95, 'date': '2026-09-01', 'note': 'Estevez will undergo season-ending surgery on his right shoulder next week, Anne Rogers of MLB.com reports.', 'detail': "Estevez began throwing in bridge league games at the Royals' complex in Arizona last week but wasn't making much progress, so the team will shut him down for the season, and the right-hander will go under the knife to address his strained rotator cuff. The 33-year-old appeared in just one game for the Royals this year, during which he gave up six earned runs while recording just one out. Kansas City is likely to decline his $13 million club option for next season.", 'player_url': 'https://www.espn.com/mlb/player/_/id/34861'}
• {'sport': 'MLB', 'team': 'Kansas City Royals', 'player': 'Cole Ragans', 'position': 'SP', 'status': '60-Day-IL', 'severity': 95, 'date': '2026-07-02', 'note': 'Ragans underwent UCL repair surgery on his left elbow Wednesday, Anne Rogers of MLB.com reports.', 'detail': "It was unknown what type of procedure Ragans would need when the Royals announced last weekend that he was scheduled for surgery. Now confirmed to have undergone UCL repair surgery, the 28-year-old southpaw will officially miss the remainder of the season and is likely to remain out until midway through the 2027 campaign. He'll close the book on 2026 after putting up a 4.84 ERA and 1.42 WHIP alongside a 45:23 K:BB through 35.1 innings over eight starts.", 'player_url': 'https://www.espn.com/mlb/player/_/id/41054'}

The right-hander ultimately underwent another procedure in late May due to recurring soreness and inflammation in the same elbow. It's a positive sign that McArthur has progressed to a throwing program, though he may be running out of time to return to big-league action in 2026.", 'player_url': 'https://www.espn.com/mlb/player/_/id/3960883'}
• {'sport': 'MLB', 'team': 'Kansas City Royals', 'player': 'Jonathan India', 'position': '2B', 'status': '60-Day-IL', 'severity': 95, 'date': '2026-06-04', 'note': 'no', 'detail': 'no', 'player_url': 'https://www.espn.com/mlb/player/_/id/41171'}

Avila will miss the rest of this year and is also likely to be sidelined for the full 2027 season. He made 21 appearances (12 starts) for Kansas City prior to the injury and had a 5.53 ERA, 1.61 WHIP and 61:42 K:BB over 70 innings this season.

After progressing to mound work, the right-hander experienced renewed discomfort last week, with subsequent testing revealing thoracic outlet syndrome.
