Hugus recently had Tommy John surgery after injuring his elbow in spring training, Jonathan Mayo of MLB Pipeline reports.

Per Mayo, Seattle was excited about how Hugus looked early in camp before he blew out his right elbow. Hugus was selected with the 91st pick in last year's draft and will have to wait until 2027 for his pro debut.

DeGrom underwent an MRI on his right knee Tuesday, the results of which could be known by the end of the night, Shawn McFarland of The Dallas Morning News reports.

The right-hander felt something in the knee prior to Monday's start against the Mariners and was lifted after giving up one run over five frames when he experienced some tenderness. DeGrom downplayed the injury after the contest, but the team was apparently concerned enough to send him for medical imaging. The 37-year-old's availability for his next turn through the rotation remains up in the air for now.

Tredwell is sidelined with a strained shoulder and is without a timetable to return, Jim Callis of MLB Pipeline

Tredwell missed the last two months of 2024 with a shoulder strain but returned to hurl a career-high 100 innings in 2025 across Single-A, High-A and Double-A. The 23-year-old righty logged a 3.18 ERA, 1.50 WHIP and 40:12 K:BB in 22.2 innings at Double-A to close last year.

Forcucci (elbow, lower back) should be ready to pitch for an Astros affiliate sometime in April, Jim Callis of MLB Pipeline reports.

Forcucci was on the mend from Tommy John surgery when the Astros drafted him in the third round in 2024, and he has yet to make his return from that injury. Callis also notes a lower-back injury for Forcucci, so it's possible his arm is fully recovered and it's his back that is delaying his pro debut at this point. Forcucci carries immense durability risk, but he had a monster upper-90s fastball in college and he could generate buzz in dynasty leagues once he returns to game action.

Pecko (thoracic outlet syndrome) struck out four over two scoreless innings Saturday in a rehab start for Single-A Fayetteville.

Pecko was missing in action during spring training, and now we know why, per Jim Callis of MLB Pipeline. It's encouraging to see Pecko dominate in his first rehab start -- he allowed two hits and zero walks -- and if he can eventually get back up to speed at Triple-A, he could still be a big-league rotation option later this summer.

Double-A Midland placed Baez on the 7-day injured list April 2 with an elbow injury, Jonathan Mayo of MLB Pipeline reports.

Acquired from San Diego in last year's Mason Miller trade, Baez dealt with a forearm injury at the end of 2025 and is now out indefinitely to start 2026.

Blue Jays manager John Schneider said Tuesday that Scherzer (forearm) "feels good" and remains on track to make his scheduled start this weekend against the Twins, Arden Zwelling of Sportsnet.ca reports.

Despite battling right forearm tendinitis leading up to Monday's game against the Dodgers, Scherzer was able to take his turn through the rotation but was lifted from the start after just two innings when the injury flared up. However, Schneider said Scherzer "doesn't feel any worse" Tuesday than he did when he was pulled, and the plan is for him to throw his normal bullpen session Friday before making a start this weekend. Barring a setback, the future Hall of Famer appears set to take the ball in Sunday's series finale.

Brown has been diagnosed with a Grade 2 right shoulder strain and will be shut down from throwing "for a few weeks."

Brown will have to get built back up following the shutdown period, so he is looking at a lengthy absence even if he doesn't encounter any setbacks. The right-hander had gotten off to an excellent start this season before getting hurt, yielding just one run with a 17:6 K:BB over 10.2 innings covering two outings.

The Blue Jays recalled Corbin from Single-A Dunedin on Tuesday, and manager John Schneider said the left-hander is tentatively lined up to start Friday against the Twins, Hazel Mae of Sportsnet reports.

Corbin inked a one-year deal with Toronto last week and immediately made a start with Dunedin on Saturday, when he allowed one unearned run with nine strikeouts over five innings. The 36-year-old will return to the majors for his next start and will have a favorable matchup versus a rebuilding Minnesota team. Corbin covered 155.1 innings for the Rangers last year and had a 4.40 ERA, 1.36 WHIP and 131:50 K:BB.

Berrios (elbow) is scheduled to face hitters in live batting practice again Tuesday, Arden Zwelling of Sportsnet.ca reports.

Over the weekend, Berrios faced hitters for the first time since being diagnosed in mid-March with a stress fracture in his right elbow and apparently responded well. He'll repeat the activity Tuesday, and if all goes well, the veteran right-hander could then be sent out on a minor-league rehab assignment. Heading into spring training, Berrios had been on the outside looking in for a starting role with the big club, but with injuries having tested Toronto's pitching depth through the first two weeks of the season, he could have a clearer path to a rotation spot once he gets healthy.
