  • Bryan Hoeing RP | SD

    Padres' Bryan Hoeing: Goes on IL

    The Padres placed Hoeing (elbow) on the 15-day injured list Wednesday.

    Hoeing is set to miss the entire 2026 season after undergoing surgery to repair the flexor tendon in his right elbow. He'll officially begin the season on the 15-day IL but will likely be transferred to the 60-day IL if/when the Padres need to clear a 40-man roster spot.

  • Jason Adam RP | SD

    Padres' Jason Adam: Opens season on IL

    The Padres placed Adam (quadriceps) on the 15-day injured list Wednesday.

    The 2025 All-Star underwent surgery in September to repair a ruptured left quadriceps tendon, and though he was able to strike out a batter in a perfect inning in his lone Cactus League appearance this past Friday, the Padres will give him more time to build up before adding him to the 26-man active roster. The 34-year-old right-hander will likely report to an affiliate later this weekend once the minor-league begins so that he can kick off a rehab assignment, and he could be ready for activation when first eligible April 6.

  • Joe La Sorsa RP | PIT

    Pirates' Joe La Sorsa: Reporting to Triple-A Indianapolis

    La Sorsa will remain in the Pittsburgh organization and will accept an assignment to Triple-A Indianapolis after going unclaimed off waivers Wednesday, Ari Alexander of 7 News Boston reports.

    La Sorsa, who had attended Pirates camp on a minor-league deal, had an upward-mobility clause in his contract that allowed him to move on from the Pirates if another organization had claimed him off waivers and placed him on its Opening Day roster. However, after finding no suitors on the waiver wire, La Sorsa will stick around with the Pirates and likely serve as a high-leverage arm in the Indianapolis bullpen to begin the season.

  • Phillies' Orion Kerkering: Lands on IL

    The Phillies placed Kerkering (hamstring) on the 15-day injured list Wednesday.

    Kerkering's move to the IL was a foregone conclusion after the righty reliever didn't make his Grapefruit League debut until last Friday while he recovered from a Grade 1 right hamstring strain. He was able to make another appearance Monday on the back fields of camp, but the Phillies presumably want to see the 24-year-old stack up a few more innings before clearing him to join the big-league bullpen. He'll likely be ready to start a rehab assignment when the minor-league season gets underway Friday, and he could be ready to return from the IL when first eligible April 7.

  • A.J. Minter RP | NYM

    Mets' A.J. Minter: Heads to IL

    The Mets placed Minter (lat) on the 15-day injured list Wednesday.

    Still on the mend from the left lat surgery he underwent May 12, 2025, Minter is expected to spend the next couple of weeks continuing his rehab program at the Mets' spring training facility in Florida, per MLB.com. The southpaw reliever has been facing hitters for the past few weeks, so he could get the green light to start a rehab assignment at Single-A St. Lucie shortly after the Florida State League season gets underway. Minter is expected to eventually move up to a higher-level affiliate as the final step before he makes his return from the IL.

  • Rob Zastryzny RP | MIL

    Brewers' Rob Zastryzny: Out with strained shoulder

    The Brewers placed Zastryzny (shoulder) on the 15-day injured list Wednesday.

    Zastryzny suffered a left rhomboid strain earlier this month and will get a late start to the season. The Brewers anticipate the left-handed reliever being ready to go at some point in April.

  • Pierson Ohl RP | COL

    Rockies' Pierson Ohl: Lands on 60-day injured list

    The Rockies placed Ohl (elbow) on the 60-day injured list Wednesday.

    Ohl underwent season-ending Tommy John surgery in late February. If the Rockies bring him back as a reliever, he has a chance to be ready in time for the start of next season.

  • Bryan Hudson RP | CHW

    Mets' Bryan Hudson: Booted off 40-man roster

    The Mets designated Hudson for assignment Wednesday.

    The Mets traded for Hudson at the start of camp, but he was knocked around for six runs with a 5:3 K:BB across 3.1 innings this spring. Hudson is coming off a rough 2025 campaign, but he was one of the Brewers' better relievers in 2024, so there could be interest in the big lefty on waivers.

  • Craig Yoho RP | MIL

    Brewers' Craig Yoho: Shelved with calf strain

    The Brewers placed Yoho (calf) on the 15-day injured list Wednesday.

    Yoho came down with a right calf strain in mid-March. The Brewers do not expect Yoho to be sidelined long and are targeting mid-April for his return to action.

  • Evan Phillips RP | LAD

    Dodgers' Evan Phillips: Takes another step forward

    Phillips (elbow) threw a bullpen session to a squatting catcher March 17, per MLB.com.

    Phillips had previously been throwing only to a standing catcher, so this was a notable step forward in his recovery from the Tommy John surgery he underwent last June. The righty reliever is beginning the season on the 60-day injured list and is expected to miss most of the season, though he could be ready for game action sometime in the second half.
