Seth JohnsonRP · Oct 5Knee · Surgery · Left · Back Feb 1, 2027 · Oct 5	Out	Knee · Surgery · Left	Feb 1, 2027	It's unclear how long the knee had been bothering Johnson, but he's expected to be ready to roll by the time spring training comes around. The right-handed reliever made 28 appearances between the Phillies and Athletics in 2026, finishing with a 5.88 ERA and 40:20 K:BB across 33.2 frames.

Caleb Durbin3B · Oct 11Finger · Surgery · Left · Back Feb 1, 2027 · Oct 11	Out	Finger · Surgery · Left	Feb 1, 2027	The 26-year-old dealt with a dislocated pinkie over the summer, but he played through the injury and never went on the injured list. Durbin struggled early in 2026 but bounced back with a .738 OPS during the second half, resulting in a .248/.332/.378 slash line with 13 homers and 20 steals in 153 regular-season games. He'll likely be fully healthy for the start of spring training since he has three-plus months to recover from the procedure.
Garrett WhitlockRP · Oct 9Leg · Fracture · Right · Back Feb 1, 2027 · Oct 9	Out	Leg · Fracture · Right	Feb 1, 2027	Whitlock hasn't been charged with a run over his last 6.2 innings, picking up two saves, four holds and a blown save in that span. He got the save chance after the Red Sox took the lead in the eighth inning. Aroldis Chapman was deemed unavailable to due a lat issue, which the Red Sox are approaching with caution. Whitlock has thrived as a reliever this year with a 1.78 ERA, 0.83 WHIP and 58:8 K:BB while adding four saves, 25 holds and four blown saves over 50.2 innings. He should be in line for more save chances if they arise before Chapman is cleared to return to the mound.
Masataka YoshidaDH · Oct 2Hamstring · Strain · Left · Back Feb 1, 2027 · Oct 2	Out	Hamstring · Strain · Left	Feb 1, 2027	Yoshida was placed on the 10-day injured list Sunday due to the hamstring strain, with the hope he could return by early September. However, it now appears Yoshida could potentially miss the rest of the regular season. Yoshida is set to get multiple opinions and imaging done in coming days to evaluate his best course of action.

Gasper slashed .251/.357/.466 with 10 home runs and a 27:39 BB:K over 67 games in 2026.
Roman AnthonyLF · Oct 5Hand · Strain · Right · Back Feb 1, 2027 · Oct 5	Out	Hand · Strain · Right	Feb 1, 2027	Breslow noted that the club is still gathering information on Anthony, who suffered an aggravation and additional injuries to his right hand during Game 1 of the wild-card series versus the Yankees. However, the feeling at this time is that Anthony's injury will heal with rest. Anthony was limited to only 55 regular-season contests in 2026 because of finger and hand problems.
Tyron GuerreroRP · Oct 2Shoulder · Strain · Right · Back Feb 1, 2027 · Oct 2	Out	Shoulder · Strain · Right	Feb 1, 2027	Guerrero missed most of September with right shoulder inflammation before returning to the active roster Sept. 20. He's now dealing with more shoulder trouble, and it's uncertain if he might be able to return in October should the Red Sox advance deep in the playoffs. Guerrero has been a reliable arm for Boston this season, posting a 3.10 ERA and 1.11 WHIP with 18 holds across 40.2 innings (40 appearances).

The cleanup procedure should not affect Myers' availability for the beginning of spring training. Myers slashed .268/.352/.425 versus lefties in 2026 and should at least have a short-side platoon role with the Reds in 2027.

The 24-year-old had missed most of the second half due to an injury to the same knee, so the Astros will play it safe and send him back to the injured list, ending his season early. Lucas Spence was recalled from Triple-A in a corresponding move.
Cristian JavierSP · Oct 2Groin · Strain · Right · Back Feb 1, 2027 · Oct 2	Out	Groin · Strain · Right	Feb 1, 2027	Javier left his start Tuesday against Seattle after two innings due to right groin soreness, and he'll officially be shut down for the year upon receiving his diagnosis. He'll close the book on 2026 after enduring one of his least effective seasons in the majors, posting a 5.14 ERA and 1.46 WHIP over 63 innings. Josh Hendrickson was called up from Triple-A Sugar Land in a corresponding move.
Daulton VarshoCF · Oct 2Wrist · Surgery · Left · Back Feb 1, 2027 · Oct 2	Out	Wrist · Surgery · Left	Feb 1, 2027	Varsho has dealt with chronic inflammation in his wrist caused by cysts, and he opted to have those cysts removed Tuesday. The operation will prevent Varsho from being an option for the Astros during the postseason, but he should be fine in time for spring training. An impending free agent, Varsho slashed .221/.281/.355 with 12 home runs and 12 stolen bases over 140 games this season between the Blue Jays and Astros.

The 21-year-old outfielder went 4-for-45 in his first 16 games for the Twins this season but closed the year with a 1.015 OPS and three home runs over his final 10 contests. Jenkins should enter the 2027 campaign as one of the team's starting outfielders.

It's unclear how much the shoulder issue might have affected him, but Raleigh experienced a massive downturn in production from his historic 2025 season to 2026, dipping 284 points in OPS (.948 to .664) and dropping from 60 home runs to 23 long balls.

While the Rangers might ease Seager into things at the start of spring training, he should be fine for Opening Day.
