Alika WilliamsSS · Sep 26Upper Body · Soreness · Back Feb 1, 2027 · Sep 26 | Day-To-Day | Upper Body · Soreness | Feb 1, 2027 | Williams will miss a third consecutive game Saturday as he continues to battle upper-body soreness, and there's a chance the A's -- with nothing to play for -- take a cautious approach and sit him during Sunday's season finale as well. Donovan Walton will get the nod at shortstop Saturday, moving Jeff McNeil to second base and allowing Tommy White to start at first. |

| Feb 1, 2027 |
Foster was charged with one run over 1.1 innings of work before being pulled. It's unclear whether Foster will be sent for an MRI, but even if his removal was precautionary, he'll likely be unavailable for at least a few days. The 27-year-old has allowed 10 runs (nine earned) with a 9:8 K:BB over nine innings covering six relief outings during his time with the Orioles this season. |
Reed TrimbleLF · Aug 17Hamstring · Soreness · Right · Back Feb 1, 2027 · Aug 17 | Day-To-Day | Hamstring · Soreness · Right | Feb 1, 2027 | Right hamstring injuries have now forced Trimble to the shelf on three separate occasions this season. The switch-hitting outfielder has at least managed to stay productive at Norfolk when he hasn't been hurt, slashing .236/.328/.600 with five home runs and three stolen bases over 64 plate appearances. He's in the midst of his first season as a member of the Orioles' 40-man roster, but the injuries have likely taken him out of consideration for a big-league call-up in 2026. |

Romy GonzalezDH · Sep 29Elbow · Back Feb 1, 2027 · Sep 29 | Day-To-Day | Elbow | Feb 1, 2027 | Gonzalez will head back to the minors to help make room on the active roster for the additions Boston made prior to the trade deadline. The 29-year-old utility man has taken a step back in the big leagues this year, slashing just .185/.264/.308 with seven RBI and seven runs scored in 73 plate appearances. |

Jake MillerSP · Jul 12Undisclosed · Back Feb 1, 2027 · Jul 12 | Day-To-Day | Undisclosed | Feb 1, 2027 | Miller opened the season on Triple-A Toledo's IL while he was recovering from October labral repair surgeries on both of his hips, but he was activated and assigned to Erie earlier in the week after completing a six rehab appearances across stops with three of the Tigers' lower-level affiliates. He made his debut for Erie on Tuesday and struck out two over three scoreless frames, but Miller apparently succumbed to a new injury coming out of that appearance. |

Mitch SpenceRP · Aug 7Undisclosed · Back Oct 20 · Aug 7 | Day-To-Day | Undisclosed | Oct 20 | Spence's move to the IL represents yet another hit to the Royals' starting pitching depth, as the organization has already lost Cole Ragans, Stephen Kolek, Luinder Avila, Ryan Bergert and Ben Kudrna to season-ending elbow surgeries. The 28-year-old righty has been part of the Royals' 40-man roster throughout the 2026 campaign, logging a 5.35 ERA and 1.41 WHIP over 16 starts with Omaha and yielding 22 earned runs in 9.1 innings over three appearances at the big-league level. |
Ryan BergertSP · May 8Elbow · Surgery · Right · Back May 1, 2027 · May 8 | Day-To-Day | Elbow · Surgery · Right | May 1, 2027 | Bergert was removed from his start at Triple-A Omaha on April 7 due to an elbow injury, and after receiving a second opinion, he ultimately decided to go under the knife to address the issue. The Royals didn't give a timeline for the right-hander's return, but he'll almost certainly miss the rest of the 2026 campaign. |

Oneil CruzCF · Sep 27Knee · Bruise · Left · Back Feb 1, 2027 · Sep 27 | Day-To-Day | Knee · Bruise · Left | Feb 1, 2027 | Cruz was forced to exit Saturday's game with a left knee injury. The good news is an MRI came back negative, per Kevin Gorman of TribLive.com, but there's no reason to push Cruz to play during the regular-season finale. He will finish the 2026 campaign having hit .280/.368/.486 with 20 home runs and 30 stolen bases over just 97 contests. |
Seattle Mariners | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
Kade AndersonSP · Sep 26Forearm · Bruise · Left · Back Feb 1, 2027 · Sep 26 | Day-To-Day | Forearm · Bruise · Left | Feb 1, 2027 | Anderson was quickly pulled from Saturday's start after taking a comebacker off his pitching arm in the fourth inning. It appears the 22-year-old southpaw has avoided a serious injury, a good sign for him and the Mariners heading into the offseason. Anderson made his major-league debut Aug. 22, and across seven big-league starts he posted a 3.79 ERA and 1.23 WHIP across 35.2 innings. |

Richard FittsSP · Sep 29Lat · Surgery · Right · Back Feb 1, 2027 · Sep 29 | Day-To-Day | Lat · Surgery · Right | Feb 1, 2027 | Fitts underwent right lat surgery in April after getting hurt while pitching at Triple-A Memphis. It's unclear where Fitts currently is in the rehab process, but Bloom said the righty is "hellbent on being part of this picture from the jump" next season. Assuming health, Fitts will be in the mix for a rotation spot next season. However, after all the time off there's a good chance he'll begin the campaign back at Memphis. |
