MLB Injury Report

Sean Murphy – C Atlanta Braves

Murphy continues to improve daily, but he might still be a few days away from returning to in-game action. He’s still unlikely to hit the Injured List.

Cedric Mullins – OF Baltimore Orioles, Ryan Mountcastle – 1B Baltimore Orioles

Both players will likely require a handful of games before being activated from the Injured List. Mountcastle has missed about a month with a groin strain while Mountcastle has missed less time with vertigo.

Tanner Houck – SP Boston Red Sox

Houck’s surgery will keep him out of action for the foreseeable future. While there is no timetable for his return, he is expected back at some point this season. Stay tuned for updates.

Triston McKenzie – SP Cleveland Guardians

McKenzie will be out of action for quite a long time here. While the diagnosis above has been set, he is apparently looking for a second opinion. All that being said, he won’t throw for about a month.

Eduardo Rodriguez – SP Detroit Tigers

This is fantastic news. The BP will be the first time Rodriguez will have faced live batters since the injury. This is a major hurdle to climb and he could be ready for a rehab assignment soon.

Riley Greene – OF Detroit Tigers, Akil Baddoo – OF Detroit Tigers

Good news for both, even if they are slowly progressing. Greene was still wearing his air cast while doing these sprints. Both players don’t have a timetable from which to return but are at least progressing forward.

Zach Neto – SS Los Angeles Angels

Neto continues to be shut down from baseball activities and there is no timetable for his return. It seems unlikely that he will return before the end of this month.

Ben Joyce – RP Los Angeles Angels

Joyce has yet to throw a ball, but his body seems to be responding well to rest. While this may be a long process, it’s hopefully one that will put to rest the threat of ulnar neuritis.

Julio Urias – SP Los Angeles Dodgers

Urias looks all but ready to return, with just one hurdle remaining. Should that rehab outing on Sunday go smoothly, it looks like he will be ready to roll next Friday.

Max Muncy – INF Los Angeles Dodgers

The mysterious hamstring injury continues to baffle, as nobody knows how serious it really is. According to the latest report, Muncy could be activated this weekend.

Gavin Lux – 2B/OF Los Angeles Dodgers

Fantastic! Lux is not an option for the 2023 season, but if all goes well, he could be ready to go for the 2024 season.

Jazz Chisholm Jr. – 2B/OF Miami Marlins

Chisholm Jr. went hitless in his first game back, but the most important part was his getting his footing back in the outfield. There is no word on how long this rehab assignment will be.

Carlos Rodon – SP New York Yankees

Rodon threw 42 pitches and 27 of them went for strikes. He also told reporters that he had more in the tank and was hitting his stride in the third inning. He will likely have at least two more rehab outings before making his way back to the Yankees.

Nestor Cortes – SP New York Yankees

Cortes did throw from 75 feet yesterday, and the next steps for him are not yet known.

Bryan Reynolds – OF Pittsburgh Pirates

This is the only report that brings attention to the oblique, though it’s unclear if that is a typo. Every other outlet states that Reynolds won’t go to the Injured List and that he has been dealing with lower back tightness. Either way, it’s somewhat concerning, but also a DTD situation until we hear otherwise.

Lamonte Wade Jr. – OF San Francisco Giants

It’s unclear how severe this injury is, but for now, consider Wade DTD. He will likely be evaluated later today.

J.P. Crawford – SS Seattle Mariners

The inability to lift his arm after the collision is a scary thought, leading one to believe this is a situation that warrants a trip to the Injured List. We should know more after today’s MRI.

Brandon Lowe – 2B Tampa Bay Rays

Lowe was shut down from baseball activities two weeks ago, so doing this is a nice step forward. He seems on track with the initial timeline and could ramp things up if his back feels better.

Brandon Belt – 1B/OF Toronto Blue Jays

All of this sounds like good news regarding Belt. He seems tentatively poised to return this weekend.
