  • Jon Gray RP | TEX

    Rangers' Jon Gray: Out for season

    The Rangers transferred Gray (shoulder) to the 60-day injured list Friday, Jeff Wilson of AllDLLS.com reports.

    A shoulder injury sent Gray to the injured list in mid-August, and now that he's on the 60-day IL, he will have to wait until 2026 to take the mound again. The 33-year-old will finish the year with 12 earned runs allowed across just 14 innings out of the bullpen alongside a 12:6 K:BB. He is due to become a free agent this offseason.

  • John Means SP | CLE

    Guardians' John Means: Under the weather

    Means (elbow) will not make his scheduled rehab start with Triple-A Columbus on Friday due to an illness, Tim Stebbins of MLB.com reports.

    Means' fifth rehab start will be delayed by at least a day, with the Guardians hoping that the 32-year-old southpaw will be able to pitch Saturday. Means is in the final stages of his recovery from Tommy John surgery that he underwent in June of 2024, and the hope is that he will rejoin the Guardians' rotation before the end of the regular season.

    Astros' Ramon Urias: Out of Friday's starting lineup

    Urias is not in the Astros' starting lineup against the Rangers on Friday, Matt Kawahara of the Houston Chronicle reports.

    Urias has started in each of Houston's last four games, but he went 0-for-10 with one RBI and six strikeouts during the Astros' three-game home series against the Yankees. He'll be on the bench for the start of Friday's contest while Jose Altuve starts at the keystone and Yordan Alvarez serves as the designated hitter.

  • Mauricio Dubon 2B | HOU

    Astros' Mauricio Dubon: Not in Friday's starting lineup

    Dubon is not in Houston's starting lineup against Texas on Friday, Matt Kawahara of the Houston Chronicle reports.

    Dubon will be on the bench for the beginning of Friday's contest while Jesus Sanchez, Taylor Trammell and Cam Smith start in the outfield from left to right. Dubon has a .503 OPS with eight runs, three doubles, one homer and five RBI in 93 plate appearances since the beginning of August.

  • Seth Lugo SP | KC

    Royals' Seth Lugo: Receives cortisone injection

    Lugo (back) received a cortisone injection Thursday and will resume throwing Sunday or Monday, Jaylon T. Thompson of The Kansas City Star reports.

    The Royals placed Lugo on the injured list Thursday with a lower back strain and also gave him a cortisone shot to address the injury. He'll be back to throwing after a brief shutdown. The shutdown should have minimal impact on his return timeline.

  • Yainer Diaz C | HOU

    Astros' Yainer Diaz: Resting Friday

    Diaz is not in the Astros' starting lineup against the Rangers on Friday, Matt Kawahara of the Houston Chronicle reports.

    Diaz will get a rest day while Victor Caratini starts behind home plate and bats seventh. Diaz has gone 8-for-38 (.211) with three doubles, one home run and three RBI over his last 10 games.

  • Cole Ragans SP | KC

    Royals' Cole Ragans: Embarking on rehab assignment

    Ragans (shoulder) is expected to begin his rehab assignment with Triple-A Omaha on Sunday, Anne Rogers of MLB.com reports.

    Ragans has spent the majority of the season on the IL and has been on the shelf since mid-June due to a left rotator cuff strain. He ramped up his throwing program with bullpen sessions in mid-August, and the 28-year-old southpaw has progressed enough in his recovery to embark on a rehab assignment. Royals manager Matt Quatraro relayed Friday that Ragans is scheduled to pitch two innings Sunday and could ramp up his workload barring any setbacks.

  • Rays' Chandler Simpson: Sitting Friday

    Simpson is not in the Rays' starting lineup against the Guardians on Friday.

    After going 0-for-4 with a strikeout in Thursday's series opener, Simpson will be on the bench for the beginning of Friday's contest while Richie Palacios starts in left field and bats in the leadoff spot. In the 26 games since returning from the 10-day IL in early August, Simpson has slashed .277/.308/.339 with seven steals, two triples, 14 runs and seven RBI in 117 plate appearances.

  • Reese Olson SP | DET

    Tigers' Reese Olson: Begins throwing program

    Olson (shoulder) has begun a throwing program, Chris McCosky of The Detroit News reports.

    Olson has already been ruled out for the regular season, but it's an encouraging sign that he's started throwing. He's been sidelined since late July due to a shoulder strain. If his recovery continues without interruption, Olson could be healthy at some point during the playoffs.
