⚾ MLB
🔴 THE JACKED LIST — OUT & HURTING
Jacob deGrom — Texas Rangers — Left Hip/Leg
deGrom left his July 7 start against the Angels after five innings with lingering hip and leg soreness. He says he’s not overly concerned and expects to make his next start — but we’ve heard that before with deGrom. Day-to-day. Watch this one closely.
Ha-Seong Kim — Atlanta Braves — Right Middle Finger
Placed on the 10-day IL with right middle finger inflammation. Braves infield taking another hit.
Parker — Pittsburgh Pirates — Right Elbow
Diagnosed with a Grade 3 UCL strain and likely headed for Tommy John surgery. Season over. Brutal news for Pittsburgh.
Wyatt Langford — Texas Rangers — Left Hamstring
Still on the 10-day IL since June 28 with a left hamstring strain. Expected back sometime in July. Rangers outfield is thin.
Corey Seager — Texas Rangers — Back
Pulled from the lineup before his first at-bat on June 30 with back discomfort. Still on the 10-day IL with no clear return date. Rangers are a mess right now.
Julio Rodriguez — Seattle Mariners — Concussion
On the 7-day IL clearing concussion protocol after getting hit in the helmet by a throw while sliding. No timetable yet.
Salvador Perez — Kansas City Royals — Left Elbow
Missed Tuesday’s game with left elbow soreness. The Royals called up Luke Maile as backup. Perez’s status unclear heading into today.
Byron Buxton — Minnesota Twins — Hip
Still out. Still no timetable. Still classic Buxton.
Blake Snell — Los Angeles Dodgers — Left Elbow
Still on the 60-day IL. Could begin facing hitters around mid-July. Return targeted for late July or early August.
Giancarlo Stanton — New York Yankees — Knee
24 games played this season. Manager Boone insists he’ll return in 2026. Clock is ticking.
🟢 THE UNJACKED LIST — RETURNING & REHABBING
Jordan Montgomery — Texas Rangers — Left UCL
Montgomery looked sharp in a Triple-A rehab start July 7 — five hits, three strikeouts, no walks, 40 pitches at 90.7 mph with his sinker. Expected back after the All-Star break. Rangers need him badly.
Cody Bradford — Texas Rangers — Left UCL
Did a live batting practice at Globe Life Field on July 2. One more live BP before heading out on a rehab assignment. Getting close.
Kyle Schwarber — Philadelphia Phillies — Back
Schwarber returned to the starting lineup after missing time with back tightness. He’s back. Phillies offense gets a boost.
Luis Robert Jr. — Chicago White Sox — Rehab
Robert played nine full innings in center field during his rehab assignment. Getting close to a return.
Jeremy Pena — Houston Astros — Calf
On rehab assignment with Triple-A Sugar Land. Last played June 28. Nearing a return for Houston.
⚠️ PADRES WATCH
Padres host the Diamondbacks tonight at 7:10pm PDT for the series finale at Petco Park. Two wins in a row — let’s make it three. Randy Vasquez still recovering from his ankle/fainting episode. Lucas Giolito still on the IL. The rotation is thin but the bats have been alive.
