Philadelphia 76ers | ||||
Ariel HukportiC · Oct 6Achilles · Ruptured · Right · Back Oct 1, 2027 · Oct 6 | Out | Achilles · Ruptured · Right | Oct 1, 2027 | Hukporti went down with an Achilles injury in Monday's preseason opener against the Knicks, and an MRI has since revealed a rupture. He signed a one-year deal with the 76ers over the summer, so Hukporti will be an unrestricted free agent come season's end. With Hukporti's year already finished, Adem Bona (foot) should assume the backup center role behind Joel Embiid once healthy. |
Dominick BarlowF · YesterdayBack · Back Nov 2 · Yesterday | Out | Back | Nov 2 | The back issue cost Barlow the entire preseason, and now he'll begin the regular season on the sidelines. The earliest we could see Barlow back on the court would be Nov. 2, but it wouldn't be shocking to see his absence extend beyond this loose, two-week window. |
Tacko FallC · YesterdayHip · Left · Back Oct 22 · Yesterday | Out | Hip · Left | Oct 22 | Fall will sit out the 76ers' first regular-season game with the same injury that sidelined him for the preseason. For now, he should be viewed as questionable for Thursday's game against the Cavs. |

Mike MathesonD · 4h agoLower Body · Back Oct 23 · 4h ago | Out | Lower Body | Oct 23 | Matheson remains day-to-day and is poised to miss his fourth straight game, but he was present for Tuesday's morning skate with his teammates. He has contributed one assist, nine shots on net, 10 blocked shots and two hits in five appearances this season. |
New York Islanders | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
Calum RitchieC · YesterdayLower Body · Back Dec 1 · Yesterday | Out | Lower Body | Dec 1 | Ritchie is currently mired in a five-game pointless streak during which he has generated four blocks, two shots and two PIM while averaging 10:38 of ice time. With the 21-year-old forward sidelined long-term, he likely will be placed on injured reserve in the coming days to free up a roster spot. For now, Mitchell Chaffee could get an extended run at the NHL level with both Ritchie and Matias Maccelli (lower body) dealing with injuries. |
Matias MaccelliLW · YesterdayLower Body · Left · Back Nov 17 · Yesterday | Out | Lower Body · Left | Nov 17 | Maccelli suffered a lower-body injury in Saturday's 4-1 win over Toronto. He has contributed two goals, six points and 13 shots on net in eight appearances with the Islanders this season. |

Olli MaattaD · 2d agoUpper Body · Back Oct 27 · 2d ago | Out | Upper Body | Oct 27 | Maatta missed his second straight game Sunday against Columbus and doesn't have a clear timeline for a return to game action. The left-shot blueliner didn't practice Saturday, so he might not be that close to suiting up in a game, but it's at least positive that he will travel with the team. Minnesota's road trip begins Tuesday in Edmonton and concludes Oct. 27 in Utah. |
Oklahoma City Thunder | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
Nikola TopicG · YesterdayBack · Surgery · Back Oct 22 · Yesterday | Out | Back · Surgery | Oct 22 | Topic lacks a concrete timetable for his season debut due to offseason back surgery. He's set to serve as backcourt depth once healthy for the Thunder. |
Otega OwehG · 6d agoAchilles · Surgery · Right · Back Jul 1, 2027 · 6d ago | Out | Achilles · Surgery · Right | Jul 1, 2027 | Oweh exited Tuesday's preseason game against the Pacers with a non-contact injury that was later diagnosed as a ruptured right Achilles tendon. The No. 41 overall pick in the 2026 NBA Draft already faced an uphill battle for playing time on a loaded Thunder roster and will now miss his entire rookie campaign. Depending on his recovery progress, Oweh could be a candidate to participate in the 2027 Summer League. |
Thomas SorberC · YesterdayKnee · Surgery · Right · Back Oct 22 · Yesterday | Out | Knee · Surgery · Right | Oct 22 | Sorber remains without a definitive timeline for his season debut following offseason knee surgery. Once cleared to play, he's expected to operate as frontcourt depth for Oklahoma City. |
San Antonio Spurs | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
Jayden QuaintanceF · Oct 5Knee · Surgery · Right · Back Dec 3 · Oct 5 | Out | Knee · Surgery · Right | Dec 3 | The Spurs are expected to exercise extreme caution with the big man, as Quaintance suffered a torn ACL and meniscus with Arizona State in February 2025 before appearing in only four games with Kentucky last season due to severe complications and persistent swelling. The 19-year-old underwent a cleanup procedure on his meniscus in mid-July, and the Spurs will likely want him at 100 percent before ramping him up to basketball activities. |
Tobias HarrisF · YesterdayCalf · Strain · Left · Back Oct 23 · Yesterday | Out | Calf · Strain · Left | Oct 23 | "He's ramping up. He's progressing," coach Mitch Johnson said. "He still needs some more progressing on the court." With Harris still not ready to return, the Spurs will likely utilize their three-guard lineup quite a bit, and guys like Julian Champagnie, Keldon Johnson and Harrison Barnes could find more minutes. |
Carolina Hurricanes | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
Mark JankowskiC · 2d agoLower Body · Back Oct 27 · 2d ago | Out | Lower Body | Oct 27 | Jankowski was a late scratch for Sunday's 3-2 loss in Calgary and is now unlikely to be available until after Carolina's current road trip concludes, which will be Saturday in St. Louis. As a result of Jankowski returning home, it wouldn't be surprising to see him land on injured reserve in the near future. While the Hurricanes have lost several forwards due to injury recently, the team is expected to have Seth Jarvis (shoulder) return to the lineup soon, as Brind'Amour said Friday that he's hopeful Jarvis will be able to play at some point during this road trip. Nicolas Deslauriers got back into the lineup Sunday due to Jankowski's absence. |

Henri VeesaarC · Sep 21Knee · Right · Back Jul 1, 2027 · Sep 21 | Out | Knee · Right | Jul 1, 2027 | Veesaar suffered the injury during a workout on Sept. 15, and an MRI confirmed the diagnosis. The No. 52 overall pick in the 2026 NBA Draft, Veesaar was expected to spend a lot of time with Atlanta's G League affiliate this season. |
Mouhamed GueyeF · YesterdayFoot · Fracture · Left · Back Nov 20 · Yesterday | Out | Foot · Fracture · Left | Nov 20 | Gueye will be re-evaluated by medical staff in 3-to-4 months, which means he'll miss all of training camp and preseason and likely the start of the 2026-27 regular season. It's a brutal blow for the fourth-year big man, given that the Hawks used the No. 23 overall pick of the 2026 NBA Draft to select St. John's product Zuby Ejiofor. Gueye's absence means Ejiofor will have more opportunities in the preseason, and the rookie could establish a key role off the bench behind Onyeka Okongwu and projected backup center Jock Landale (ankle). |
Boston Celtics | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
Devin CarterG · 2d agoIllness · Back Nov 8 · 2d ago | Out | Illness | Nov 8 | Carter missed Boston's final three preseason games with the illness and is now expected to miss time to begin the regular season. He can be considered week-to-week until Boston provides an update on his progress. The 2024 first-rounder signed a two-way pact with the Celtics on Saturday and will provide backcourt depth for the club. |
Brooklyn Nets | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
Tyler BilodeauF · YesterdayShoulder · Back Oct 24 · Yesterday | Out | Shoulder | Oct 24 | Bilodeau is on a two-way contract and was unlikely to crack the rotation right away. He'll likely get plenty of G League reps once he's healthy. |
Charlotte Hornets | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
Coby WhiteG · 2h agoCalf · Strain · Left · Back Oct 23 · 2h ago | Out | Calf · Strain · Left | Oct 23 | White is doing individual work at practice and isn't yet ready to return to game action with a calf strain. Until he's cleared to retake the court, Dennis Schroder figures to start at point guard for the Hornets and offer streaming appeal in most fantasy leagues. |
Grant WilliamsF · 2h agoHamstring · Right · Back Oct 23 · 2h ago | Out | Hamstring · Right | Oct 23 | Williams is not yet able to practice fully as he works back from a hamstring injury. The Hornets should turn to Royce O'Neale for some extra playing time until Williams is ready to suit up. |
Kon KnueppelG · 2h agoHamstring · Left · Back Oct 23 · 2h ago | Out | Hamstring · Left | Oct 23 | Knueppel didn't play in the preseason and will miss Wednesday's regular-season opener due to a left hamstring injury. However, he's trending in the right direction and can be considered questionable for Friday's game against Atlanta. With the 21-year-old swingman sidelined, Sion James, Grayson Allen (knee) and Royce O'Neale are candidates to see an uptick in minutes. |
Chicago Bulls | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
Nic ClaxtonC · YesterdayHamstring · Back Nov 4 · Yesterday | Out | Hamstring | Nov 4 | This is a tough blow for the Bulls as they will be without their starting center for the first seven games of the regular season. Meanwhile, Zach Collins' (toe) status remains in the air. This could set up Jalen Smith for a solid workload to open the season. |
Cleveland Cavaliers | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
Nae'Qwan TomlinF · 7h agoBack · Back Nov 16 · 7h ago | Out | Back | Nov 16 | This is a tough blow for the forward and there's no guarantee he's cleared right away when he's re-evaluated in three-to-four weeks. Tomlin wasn't projected to crack the rotation ahead of Opening Night and was penciled in to be an emergency depth option. |
Denver Nuggets | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
Julian StrawtherG · 4d agoKnee · Sprain · Left · Back Nov 29 · 4d ago | Out | Knee · Sprain · Left | Nov 29 | Strawther suffered the injury in Wednesday's preseason game against the Clippers. The 24-year-old has appeared in 172 regular-season games for the Nuggets since entering the league in 2023, averaging 7.1 points, 2.0 rebounds and 1.1 assists over 16.2 minutes per contest. He was in line to compete for an expanded role during the 2026-27 campaign. While that may be the case once Strawther is cleared to suit up, Tyus Jones and potentially Ryan Nembhard are candidates to receive more minutes in the interim. |
Detroit Pistons | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
Taurean PrinceF · 8h agoPersonal · Back Oct 23 · 8h ago | Out | Personal | Oct 23 | Prince was previously carrying a questionable tag and will now miss Opening Night. The veteran is expected to be an emergency depth option this season. |
Golden State Warriors | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
Jimmy Butler IIIF · 4d agoKnee · Surgery · Right · Back Jan 2, 2027 · 4d ago | Out | Knee · Surgery · Right | Jan 2, 2027 | Butler, who underwent surgery after suffering the injury Jan. 19, has progressed to individual court work but still has several rehabilitation milestones to clear. His next step involves landing comfortably after a game-speed jump. Coach Steve Kerr is hopeful Butler can rejoin Golden State for the latter portion of the season, though no official return date has been announced. The 37-year-old forward remains a significant part of the Warriors' plans and could provide a substantial boost during the second half of the campaign. |
Kristaps PorzingisC · YesterdayUndisclosed · Back Dec 1 · Yesterday | Out | Undisclosed | Dec 1 | Porzingis is going to miss the start of the regular season, and fantasy managers should treat his return as an if, not a when. The Warriors have not released any additional info on Porzingis' absence, saying it's an undisclosed health issue. Given Porzingis medical history, both sides are going to proceed with the utmost caution. |
Moses MoodyG · 4d agoKnee · Surgery · Left · Back Dec 1 · 4d ago | Out | Knee · Surgery · Left | Dec 1 | Moody has been limited to individual court work, but team sources indicate he's ahead of Jimmy Butler (knee) in the rehabilitation process and is expected to return before the veteran forward. The 24-year-old still has several recovery checkpoints to complete, and Golden State has not established an official timetable. His eventual return would help replenish a Warriors wing rotation that will open the season without both Moody and Butler. |
Indiana Pacers | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
Johnny FurphyG · Feb 9Knee · Surgery · Right · Back Jan 2, 2027 · Feb 9 | Out | Knee · Surgery · Right | Jan 2, 2027 | Furphy started in 21 of 35 regular-season appearances for the Pacers, posting averages of 5.1 points, 4.4 rebounds, 1.2 assists and 0.7 three-pointers in 18.4 minutes per contest. While no timetable has been announced, Furphy's absence could extend through the beginning of the 2026-27 season. With this news, the Pacers will likely lean more on Ben Sheppard, Kam Jones and Quenton Jackson moving forward. |
LA Clippers | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
Bradley BealG · 6d agoKnee · Inflammation · Back Nov 8 · 6d ago | Out | Knee · Inflammation | Nov 8 | Beal is dealing with knee inflammation that will keep him sidelined for Opening Night. While it's unclear how long the Clippers will be without the veteran guard, Darius Garland, Keaton Wagler and Kris Dunn should dominate the backcourt minutes in his absence. Beal's 2025-26 campaign was cut short by a hip injury after he averaged 8.2 points and 1.7 assists in 20.6 minutes across just six regular-season appearances. |
Brandon IngramF · Sep 28Achilles · Surgery · Back Nov 8 · Sep 28 | Out | Achilles · Surgery | Nov 8 | The Clippers learned about the injury this summer, though it's unclear exactly how far along Ingram is in his recovery. The star forward's timeline for a return is unclear, clouding his fantasy outlook in the meantime. Darius Garland should take on all the usage he can handle in Ingram's stead, while Kris Dunn and Max Strus could have additional streaming appeal early in the year. |
Jordan MillerG · Aug 26Shoulder · Surgery · Back Mar 2, 2027 · Aug 26 | Out | Shoulder · Surgery | Mar 2, 2027 | It's a tough break for Miller, who had an opportunity to battle for a reserve role during training camp in the fall. The timeline for a return is likely to keep him on the shelf until after the All-Star break. Miller's extended stay on the sidelines gives Kobe Sanders a chance to crack the Clippers' rotation. |
Max StrusG · Oct 5Foot · Right · Back Nov 8 · Oct 5 | Out | Foot · Right | Nov 8 | Plantar fascia injuries can be tricky to recover from, with the only remedy typically being prolonged rest, so don't be surprised if Strus' absence extends well beyond this initial four-week window. With Strus now set to miss at least the first few weeks of the season, and Bradley Beal (knee) uncertain for opening night, Keaton Wagler could be thrust into the first unit sooner than expected. |
Yanic Konan NiederhauserC · Sep 28Foot · Surgery · Right · Back Nov 8 · Sep 28 | Out | Foot · Surgery · Right | Nov 8 | Niederhauser is progressing from March surgery but won't be able to suit up to begin the year. The Clippers are likely to take a cautious approach with the 2025 first-rounder. Isaiah Jackson should occupy the backup center spot behind Brook Lopez early in the campaign. |
Memphis Grizzlies | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
Isaiah StewartC · Oct 9Ankle · Left · Back Oct 23 · Oct 9 | Out | Ankle · Left | Oct 23 | Stewart, who was traded from Detroit to Memphis over the summer, sustained a left ankle sprain in the team's preseason opener and is now likely to miss Opening Night. His absence opens the door for Quinten Post to move into the backup center role behind Zach Edey in the interim. |
Minnesota Timberwolves | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
Donte DiVincenzoG · Oct 5Achilles · Surgery · Right · Back Apr 2, 2027 · Oct 5 | Out | Achilles · Surgery · Right | Apr 2, 2027 | DiVincenzo is approaching six months since tearing his right Achilles during the first round of the playoffs and has been rehabbing with the expectation that he'll play at some point this season. The veteran guard has sought advice from Jayson Tatum, Tyrese Haliburton and Damian Lillard during his recovery, though Minnesota has yet to establish a timetable for his return. |
Orlando Magic | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
Izaiyah NelsonF · Sep 28Ankle · Surgery · Left · Back Nov 18 · Sep 28 | Out | Ankle · Surgery · Left | Nov 18 | With Nelson still in recovery mode from the left ankle surgery he underwent this summer, his path back to game action remains delayed for the early part of the season. The rookie big man is on a two-way contract with the Magic, so his short-term absence mainly affects his developmental timeline rather than Orlando's regular rotation. |
Noah PendaF · 3d agoHamstring · Right · Back Nov 18 · 3d ago | Out | Hamstring · Right | Nov 18 | Penda suffered the hamstring tear in Friday's 136-115 preseason win over the Heat. It's unknown how long the injury will keep the 21-year-old off the floor. However, since it's a different injury than the one he suffered in the same hamstring during training camp, the team may take a cautious approach regarding his return. Penda, the No. 32 overall pick in the 2025 NBA Draft, averaged 3.8 points, 3.2 rebounds and 1.2 assists over 12.8 minutes per outing in 59 regular-season games in 2025-26. While he's not expected to be a mainstay in the rotation throughout the 2026-27 campaign, his absence could open up a few minutes for Tristan Da Silva. |
Phoenix Suns | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
Mark WilliamsC · Sep 11Shoulder · Surgery · Left · Back Feb 3, 2027 · Sep 11 | Out | Shoulder · Surgery · Left | Feb 3, 2027 | This is a tough blow for the center with training camp right around the corner. With his status for Opening Night in jeopardy, this will put a lot of eyes on Oso Ighodaro and Khaman Maluach, with the latter already drawing buzz during the Summer League. More clarity on Williams' timeline should be known in the coming weeks. |
Portland Trail Blazers | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
Shaedon SharpeG · Aug 24Knee · Surgery · Right · Back Mar 2, 2027 · Aug 24 | Out | Knee · Surgery · Right | Mar 2, 2027 | It's a tough blow to the Trail Blazers' depth on the wing ahead of training camp. Sharpe, who is now likely to be sidelined until after the All-Star break, had been ticketed for a reserve role behind Toumani Camara following an injury-plagued 2025-26 campaign, which saw average a career-high 20.8 points, 1.4 steals and 2.1 three-pointers per game over 50 regular-season appearances. The door is now open for Vit Krejci and Jeremy Sochan to compete for bench minutes during camp. |
Sacramento Kings | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
Ben SimmonsG · 2d agoAchilles · Ruptured · Back Oct 1, 2027 · 2d ago | Out | Achilles · Ruptured | Oct 1, 2027 | Simmons was seemingly poised for a comeback campaign after being out of the league following the 2024-25 season, but his return will be delayed due to a suspected Achilles tear suffered during practice. A heartbreaking development for the 30-year-old pro, who was performing at a high level throughout the preseason and expected to start on Opening Night. His injury figures to impact the Kings' offensive plan, likely resulting in more ball-handling responsibilities for rookie Darius Acuff. |
Dylan CardwellC · 5d agoCalf · Strain · Left · Back Nov 2 · 5d ago | Out | Calf · Strain · Left | Nov 2 | Cardwell appeared in 44 games last season, providing frontcourt depth while Domantas Sabonis dealt with injuries. Sacramento will also be without Maxime Raynaud (knee) to begin the campaign, leaving the team thin at center behind Sabonis. Cardwell's return timetable remains uncertain, but his absence could create additional opportunities for the Kings' remaining frontcourt reserves. |
Maxime RaynaudC · 5d agoKnee · Dislocated · Right · Back Nov 2 · 5d ago | Out | Knee · Dislocated · Right | Nov 2 | Raynaud is recovering from a right patellar subluxation and appears set to begin the campaign on the sidelines. The young center appeared in 74 games last season, helping anchor Sacramento's frontcourt while Domantas Sabonis battled injuries. With Dylan Cardwell also sidelined, the Kings will be especially dependent on Sabonis until their reserve centers return. |
Toronto Raptors | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
Nate BittleC · 4h agoFoot · Right · Back Oct 28 · 4h ago | Out | Foot · Right | Oct 28 | Bittle, who just landed a two-way deal with Toronto, continues to recover from a foot fracture. The rookie big man didn't appear in the preseason and has no timetable for a return to the floor. |
Utah Jazz | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
Jusuf NurkicC · Oct 7Foot · Right · Back Nov 4 · Oct 7 | Out | Foot · Right | Nov 4 | Nurkic will begin the 2026-27 season on the sidelines, and given the tricky nature of foot injuries for big men, it wouldn't be shocking to see his absence extend beyond this initial four-week window. Jaren Jackson will likely spend more time at center while Nurkic is out, and there will be more minutes available for Jaxson Hayes and Mo Bamba. |
Washington Wizards | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
AJ DybantsaF · 6h agoAnkle · Sprain · Left · Back Oct 23 · 6h ago | Out | Ankle · Sprain · Left | Oct 23 | Dybantsa remained limited at Tuesday's practice and is still considered day-to-day after picking up the sprain during the final preseason game Friday. It sounds like the Wizards are being extra cautious with the No. 1 overall pick. In the meantime, Tre Johnson, Bilal Coulibaly and Will Riley could see additional minutes. |
Jamir WatkinsG · Jul 30Knee · Left · Back Apr 2, 2027 · Jul 30 | Out | Knee · Left | Apr 2, 2027 | Watkins, a two-way player for the Wizards, suffered the injury during the Summer League. Although Washington has yet to offer a timetable for a return, a typical recovery time for the procedure is approximately 9-to-12 months. That leaves Watkins in serious jeopardy of missing most, if not all, of the 2026-27 season, and it remains to be seen if the team will continue keeping him around on a two-way roster spot while he's injured. |
Tristan VukcevicF · Oct 1Hip · Left · Back Nov 2 · Oct 1 | Out | Hip · Left | Nov 2 | Although the big man will remain a limited participant in training camp as he continues his rehab from a hip impingement, it sounds like his absence from game action will extend into the regular season. Deandre Ayton should have the backup center role all to himself until Vukcevic is cleared to retake the floor. |

Brian BranchS · Oct 9Achilles · Surgery · Back Oct 25 · Oct 9 | Out | Achilles · Surgery | Oct 25 | Branch returned to practice Wednesday after the Lions opened up his 21-day practice window. The strong safety managed to log limited practice in all three Week 5 prep sessions but is not quite ready to return to the field. Christian Izien will continue to start at strong safety while Branch puts the finishing touches on his recovery. |
Green Bay Packers | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
Jordon RileyDT · 6d agoAchilles · Back Oct 25 · 6d ago | Out | Achilles | Oct 25 | Riley has been on the active/PUP list since Aug. 31 while continuing to recover from a torn Achilles tendon. The defensive lineman made his return to practice Wednesday, logging a limited session to open the week. With Javon Hargrave (Achilles) done for the season, Riley's return to action will be a welcomed one, whenever that may be. |
Micah ParsonsDE · YesterdayKnee - ACL · Surgery · Left · Back Oct 29 · Yesterday | Out | Knee - ACL · Surgery · Left | Oct 29 | With Green Bay not yet ready to open Parsons' 21-day practice window this week, the star edge rusher can safely be ruled out from making his 2026 debut Sunday in Detroit. LaFleur isn't dismissing the possibility of Parsons playing Week 8 versus the Panthers, though because that game will be a Thursday night matchup, the five-time Pro Bowler may face an uphill battle to gain clearance. At this point, the Packers' Week 9 matchup with the Patriots on Nov. 8 looks to be a more realistic target for Parsons to make his return to action, after his 2025 season came to an end when he tore his ACL on Dec. 14. |
Los Angeles Rams | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
Davante AdamsWR · YesterdayHamstring · Surgery · Left · Back Nov 25 · Yesterday | Out | Hamstring · Surgery · Left | Nov 25 | Adams exited the game on the Rams' final offensive possession, walking gingerly off the field after he was in discomfort while running a route during the team's second-to-last snap of the day. Head coach Sean McVay announced Monday that he expects the veteran receiver to be sidelined for around 6-to-10 weeks, per Adam Grosbard of The Orange County Register, with how Adams responds to surgery likely determining whether he makes it back at the short or long end of that timeline. With Puka Nacua already locked into a massive weekly target share as the Rams' clear No. 1 wideout, Adams' absence is more likely to open up additional opportunities in the passing game for supporting players such as running back Kyren Williams, wideouts Jordan Whittington and Konata Mumpfield and tight ends Colby Parkinson and Tyler Higbee. |
Kobie TurnerDE · YesterdayGroin · Strain · Back Nov 25 · Yesterday | Out | Groin · Strain | Nov 25 | Adam Schefter of ESPN relays that Turner is facing a projected recovery timeline of 4-to-6 weeks, giving the defensive tackle a chance at returning from IR when first eligible in Week 12 versus Green Bay. Regarded as a strong interior pass rusher, Turner had been held without a sack for the Rams' first six contests of 2026 after racking up 24.0 through his first three seasons in the league. His absence for at least the next four games should open up a full-time starting role for Braden Fiske opposite Aaron Donald. |
Poona FordDT · 22h agoTriceps · Surgery · Back Feb 15, 2027 · 22h ago | Out | Triceps · Surgery | Feb 15, 2027 | Ford suffered a season-ending triceps injury in the Rams' Week 6 loss to the Cardinals on Sunday. The defensive tackle signed a three-year, $27.6 million contract with the Rams in March of 2025 and was set to continue as a pivotal part of the team's pass rush throughout 2026. Ford finished his season with 15 tackles (six solo) and one pass defensed over six games, logging no sacks. |

Elijah ArroyoTE · 23h agoShoulder · Back Nov 2 · 23h ago | Out | Shoulder | Nov 2 | It appears the second-year tight end will not play against the Chiefs in Week 7, and a stint on injured reserve seems likely for Arroyo. He's mostly been used as an extra blocker on offense and as a contributor on special teams, but his absence means Eric Saubert and Nick Kallerup are both candidates for more snaps behind TE1 AJ Barner. |
Zach CharbonnetRB · 23h agoKnee - ACL · Surgery · Left · Back Oct 25 · 23h ago | Out | Knee - ACL · Surgery · Left | Oct 25 | Since the Seahawks opened Charbonnet's practice window Oct. 1, he hasn't been listed as anything more than a limited participant. Macdonald's comments Monday indicate an upgrade in activity is likely, beginning Wednesday, as the team prepares for a Week 7 showdown with Kansas City. Timing also is at play here, as Seattle must activate Charbonnet from the reserve/PUP list by Wednesday afternoon for him to have any chance to play this season, which of course what is expected. If he's able to do enough to suit up this coming weekend, Charbonnet may not immediately take on a leading role, as Emanuel Wilson and George Holani currently are splitting the backfield reps. |

Terry McLaurinWR · 3h agoKnee · Surgery · Left · Back Feb 15, 2027 · 3h ago | Out | Knee · Surgery · Left | Feb 15, 2027 | With McLaurin done for the season as the result of the injury, Stefon Diggs profiles as the Commanders' top wideout going forward. Also in the mix to see added reps in McLaurin's absence are Antonio Williams, Treylon Burks, Dyami Brown and Luke McCaffrey. Additionally, the team could look add depth at the position in the coming days. McLaurin, who is under contract with Washington through 2028, faces a lengthy recovery in in the coming months. Prior to sustaining his injury, McLaurin logged a team-high 230 receiving yards on 15 receptions (27 targets) with a TD over the course of five games. |

He has posted a 3-1-1 record with one shutout, a 2.21 GAA and an .897 save percentage in six appearances this season. Akira Schmid could see most of the starts for the Panthers until Markstrom returns, but Cooper Black is also expected to see some playing time. |

Liam O'Brien and Kailer Yamamoto haven't played yet this season, but each of them might get opportunities to play in a bottom-six capacity during Carcone's absence. |

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. |

Cade PovichSP · 5d agoElbow · Surgery · Left · Back Feb 1, 2027 · 5d ago | Out | Elbow · Surgery · Left | Feb 1, 2027 | Weyrich reveals that Povich had pitched through significant discomfort down the stretch of the regular season, and the decision was made to have surgery. It's a relatively minor operation as far as elbow surgeries go, and the Orioles anticipate Povich being ready to roll for spring training. The lefty held a 4.38 ERA, 1.49 WHIP and 28:15 K:BB across 37 innings at the major-league level in 2026. Assuming health, he's likely in line to compete for a spot in the Orioles' rotation in 2027. |

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. |
Mickey GasperDH · Oct 2Biceps · Surgery · Right · Back Mar 1, 2027 · Oct 2 | Out | Biceps · Surgery · Right | Mar 1, 2027 | The 4-to-6 month timeline is for Gasper's return to game action, so there's a good chance he'll be held out of spring training action initially, and his availability for Opening Day isn't a given. 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). |

Dane MyersCF · Oct 2Shoulder · Surgery · Left · Back Feb 1, 2027 · Oct 2 | Out | Shoulder · Surgery · Left | Feb 1, 2027 | Myers spent time on the injured list this season with the AC joint issue. 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 right-hander was limited to only 14 appearances in 2025 and another 14 in 2026 due to injuries. |

Brice MatthewsCF · Oct 2Knee · Inflammation · Left · Back Feb 1, 2027 · Oct 2 | Out | Knee · Inflammation · Left | Feb 1, 2027 | Matthews injured his knee while making a diving catch during Tuesday's game against Seattle. 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. |
Enyel De Los SantosRP · Oct 2Knee · Tendinitis · Right · Back Feb 1, 2027 · Oct 2 | Out | Knee · Tendinitis · Right | Feb 1, 2027 | De Los Santos gave up two runs over two innings during his appearance Friday and now appears to have picked up an injury in the process. His trip to the injured list will rule him out for the rest of the regular season, so he'll finish the campaign with a 4.79 ERA and 1.25 WHIP through 71.1 innings. Logan VanWey was recalled from Triple-A in a corresponding move. |

Steven CruzRP · Sep 29Personal · Back Feb 1, 2027 · Sep 29 | Out | Personal | Feb 1, 2027 | By rule, Cruz will miss the next 1-to-3 games while welcoming a new baby, so he should be back for Sunday's season finale, at minimum. Cruz has registered three of the past four saves for the Royals, which includes his eighth save of the season in Wednesday's win over the White Sox. While Cruz is away, the Royals could turn to Nate Pearson for save chances. |

He is expected to be game-ready in six months, putting his status for Opening Day in question. Marsee put together a .231/.348/.359 batting line with 11 home runs and 23 stolen bases this season for the Marlins. |
Minnesota Twins | ||||

Walker JenkinsCF · Oct 1Elbow · Surgery · Right · Back Feb 1, 2027 · Oct 1 | Out | Elbow · Surgery · Right | Feb 1, 2027 | The procedure involved a debridement of the joint, as well as the removal of a bone chip and bone spur. Jenkins is expected to be ready to go for the beginning of spring training. 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. |
Seattle Mariners | ||||

Cal RaleighC · Oct 5Shoulder · Surgery · Left · Back Feb 1, 2027 · Oct 5 | Out | Shoulder · Surgery · Left | Feb 1, 2027 | He is expected to be fully recovered from the operation by the beginning of spring training. 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. With health, Raleigh should bounce back to some degree in 2027. |
Josh Naylor1B · Oct 5Wrist · Surgery · Right · Back Feb 1, 2027 · Oct 5 | Out | Wrist · Surgery · Right | Feb 1, 2027 | Naylor first hurt his wrist in early August, and he went homerless in his final 41 games after the injury. The Mariners anticipate Naylor being fully recovered before the start of spring training. Naylor will be looking to bounce back offensively for Seattle in 2027 after finishing with just a .667 OPS and 10 long balls this season, though he kept his fantasy value afloat by stealing 30 bases for the second year in a row. |
Michael Toglia1B · Oct 2Shoulder · Surgery · Right · Back Feb 1, 2027 · Oct 2 | Out | Shoulder · Surgery · Right | Feb 1, 2027 | Toglia is recovering from late August surgery to repair a torn labrum in his right shoulder, but the Mariners felt he was worthy of a waiver claim even though he'll spend the next few months rehabbing. The 28-year-old was dreadful in limited action for the Reds in 2026, going 3-for-26 with 12 strikeouts. |

Hunter DobbinsSP · Sep 29Elbow · Surgery · Right · Back Sep 1, 2027 · Sep 29 | Out | Elbow · Surgery · Right | Sep 1, 2027 | Dobbins was placed on the 15-day injured list Aug. 22 with right forearm discomfort, but after he received a second opinion on the arm Tuesday, he opted to undergo elbow surgery. The 27-year-old has now undergone two procedures on his right elbow in his young career, and he may be forced to miss the entirety of the 2027 campaign while recovering. Dobbins made 11 appearances, including eight starts, with St. Louis this season, posting a 3.67 ERA and 1.35 WHIP with 52 strikeouts over 54 innings. |
Masyn WinnSS · Sep 26Thumb · Soreness · Left · Back Feb 1, 2027 · Sep 26 | Out | Thumb · Soreness · Left | Feb 1, 2027 | Winn will ride the pine for Sunday's series finale after going a combined 1-for-7 through the first two games against the Nationals. Thomas Saggese will play shortstop and bat sixth for the Cardinals. |

Shane McClanahanSP · Oct 11Forearm · Soreness · Left · Back Feb 1, 2027 · Oct 11 | Out | Forearm · Soreness · Left | Feb 1, 2027 | It would have been a great story for the left-hander to rejoin the Rays during their playoff run after going down with forearm soreness in early September, but it's not a major surprise he's been ruled out given that there's been no indication he's close to game ready. McClanahan also spent time on the IL earlier in the season due to a back issue, limiting him to 24 starts. He posted a 3.36 ERA, 1.12 WHIP and 106:39 K:BB across 118 innings this season and is entering his penultimate year of arbitration eligibility in 2027. |
Texas Rangers | ||||

Corey SeagerSS · Oct 9Elbow · Surgery · Right · Back Feb 1, 2027 · Oct 9 | Out | Elbow · Surgery · Right | Feb 1, 2027 | Rangers president of baseball operations Chris Young noted following the conclusion of the regular season that Seager could require an operation after battling through the elbow issue for months, and that's indeed what's happened. While the Rangers might ease Seager into things at the start of spring training, he should be fine for Opening Day. The 32-year-old shortstop had arguably his worst season in 2026, slashing .227/.312/.424 with 20 home runs in 102 tilts. |
Danny JansenC · Oct 9Hand · Surgery · Right · Back Feb 1, 2027 · Oct 9 | Out | Hand · Surgery · Right | Feb 1, 2027 | It's a minor operation that's not expected to affect Jansen's offseason workouts. Jansen slashed .203/.296/.381 with eight home runs over 67 games for the Rangers this season. As things stand currently, the 31-year-old Jansen seems likely to open the 2027 campaign as the Rangers' top catcher. |
