| Name | POS | Status | Date | Injury | Returns | | | | | Chris Resop | R | D.L. | Jul 13 | elbow | Out for the season | | Latest News:
Angels transferred RHP Chris Resop from the 15-day to the 60-day disabled list. Resop underwent surgery to shave a bone spur in his elbow and is out for the season. | | | | | | Dallas McPherson | 3B | D.L. | Mar 31 | back | Out for the season | | Latest News:
Dallas McPherson (back) has resumed full baseball activities, but will not return until next season. McPherson underwent season-ending surgery to repair a bulging disk in his lower back in January. "I'm going to have to earn a roster spot," McPherson said. "I don't know what the Angels' plans are with me, but if I'm healthy, I'll worry about everything else later." | |
| Name | POS | Status | Date | Injury | Returns | | | | | Chris Sampson | S | Out | Sep 13 | elbow | Out for the season | | Latest News:
Chris Sampson has been shut down for the rest of the season because of his elbow woes. Sampson, who spent August on the DL, aggravated his elbow in Tuesday's game. The Astros don't think he'll require surgery. | | | | | | Troy Patton | S | Out | Sep 12 | shoulder | Out for the season | | Latest News:
Troy Patton will be shut down for the remainder of the season after an MRI showed severe tendinitis in his left biceps. "There's fluid on my biceps tendon, and that's what's causing discomfort throwing," Patton said. "I'm going to come back here Nov. 1 and start a rehab program and get back in shape." Patton should enter spring training with a great chance to make the 2008 rotation. | | | | | | Jason Jennings | S | D.L. | Aug 21 | elbow | Out for the season | | Latest News:
Astros transferred RHP Jason Jennings from the 15-day to the 60-day disabled list. Jennings is out for the year after surgery to repair a torn flexor tendon. | | | | | | Hector Gimenez | C | D.L. | Mar 28 | shoulder | Likely out for the season | | Latest News:
Astros transferred catcher Hector Gimenez from the 15-day to the 60-day disabled list. The move opens up a 40-man roster spot for Eric Munson. Gimenez is likely out for the season after surgery to repair a torn labrum. | |
| Name | POS | Status | Date | Injury | Returns | | | | | Alan Embree | R | Out | Sep 28 | personal | Day-to-day | | Latest News:
Alan Embree, who left the team to attend to a family matter, is expected to return to the A's Friday. | | | | | | Kiko Calero | R | Out | Sep 5 | shoulder | Indefinitely | | Latest News:
Kiko Calero (shoulder) is not only worried that his 2007 season is done, but he's concerned that as an arbitration-eligible player, his career with Oakland could be over. "This year for me has been way down," Calero said. "They know when I feel good, I can pitch, and I know they know I've been working hard to try to come back, but I don't know what their plans are. I love it here, the team is like a family and my wife and I love the area." While his season is not officially over, any more discomfort in his shoulder would require the team to shut Calero down. | | | | | | Travis Buck | OF | D.L. | Aug 20 | hamstring | Out for the season | | Latest News:
Travis Buck underwent elbow surgery Monday in a procedure that apparently went very well. Manager Bob Geren said it was a "best-case scenario" as no further damage was uncovered by the operation and Buck should be fully recovered by October. | | | | | | Mark Kotsay | OF | D.L. | Aug 17 | back | Out for the season | | Latest News:
Mark Kotsay won't play again in 2007 because of his back issues. We'd say the A's are tanking here, but if they really wanted to improve their draft position, it'd be best if Kotsay was playing center field every day. Oakland owes the soon-to-be 32-year-old $8 million in 2008, but GM Billy Beane needs to try to upvrade in center field anyway. Kotsay may still be adequate when he's 100 percent, but his back issues aren't going away and he's a big liability when he tries to play through injuries. | | | | | | Eric Chavez | 3B | D.L. | Aug 3 | back | Out for the season | | Latest News:
Eric Chavez, who underwent surgery on his right labrum a month ago, will have back surgery next week. Let's get it all taken care of now. Chavez is still expected to be ready for spring training. | | | | | | Bobby Crosby | SS | D.L. | Jul 25 | hand | Out for the season | | Latest News:
After Oakland transferred him to the 60-day disabled list, Bobby Crosby said he won't play again this season because of bone edema in his left wrist. The fractures in his hand have healed fully, Crosby said; the edema is not related to the breaks but is probably because he had his wrist in one position in a cast for several weeks. He couldn't swing a bat pain-free as a result. | | | | | | Rich Harden | S | D.L. | Jul 12 | shoulder | Out for the season | | Latest News:
Manager Bob Geren said that Rich Harden will head to the instructional league in Phoenix this week to work with minor-league pitching instructor Ron Romanick. "I'd like to get in a little extra work," said Harden. "Whether I get in a game, I don't feel like that's something I have to do. I'm confident I'm healthy, so it's more getting a feel, fine-tuning some things." The A's dropped their season-high sixth straight home game and will finish with a losing record at home for the first time since 1998. | | | | | | Justin Duchscherer | R | D.L. | May 22 | hip | Out for the season | | Latest News:
Athletics transferred RHP Justin Duchscherer from the 15-day to the 60-day disabled list. Duchscherer is out for the season after opting for hip surgery. | | | | | | Chris Snelling | OF | D.L. | May 16 | knee | Out indefinitely | | Latest News:
Chris Snelling was scheduled for arthoscopic surgery Tuesday on his injured left knee. There hasn't been any word on his status for the rest of the season, but even if he can return for September, he won't have much of a role in Oakland. | | | | | | Chris Denorfia | OF | D.L. | Apr 1 | elbow | Out for the season | | Latest News:
Athletics acquired outfielder Chris Denorfia from the Reds for two players to be named and cash. Denorfia, 26, will miss the rest of 2007 following Tommy John surgery, but he should come in real handy in 2008 as a fourth outfielder. The right-handed hitter had lines of .317/.391/.526 and .349/.409/.484 in the minors the last two years. He can play an adequate center field and he's above average in the corners. The Reds thought they didn't need him following Josh Hamilton's emergence, but as long as they're counting on Ken Griffey Jr., they're always going to need quality reserve outfielders. | |
| Name | POS | Status | Date | Injury | Returns | | | | | John McDonald | SS | Out | Sep 29 | abdomen | Day-to-day | | Latest News:
John McDonald tweaked his abdominal injury Saturday and will not play in Sunday's season finale. McDonald is scheduled for surgery on Tuesday. | | | | | | Sal Fasano | C | Out | Sep 24 | knee | Out for the season | | Latest News:
Sal Fasano, who has left the team to go home to Chicago for the birth of his third child, will go under the knife to repair his left knee.
Once he's done with his family situation, Fasano will have the operation. | | | | | | Shaun Marcum | S | Out | Sep 22 | knee | Out for the season | | Latest News:
Shaun Marcum will undergo season-ending surgery to repair a torn meniscus in his right knee on either Wednesday or Thursday. Josh Banks or Josh Towers will start in his place Thursday against the Orioles. Marcum finishes the year 12-6 with a 4.13 ERA. He probably won't have to compete for a rotation spot next spring. | | | | | | Vernon Wells | OF | D.L. | Sep 22 | shoulder | Out for the season | | Latest News:
Blue Jays placed outfielder Vernon Wells on the 60-day disabled list with a torn labrum in his left shoulder. Wells will undergo surgery Tuesday. | | | | | | Troy Glaus | 3B | D.L. | Sep 14 | foot | Out for the season | | Latest News:
The Jays are saying that the nerve surgery on Troy Glaus' foot that was performed Monday was a success. Toronto believes Glaus will be ready to roll by spring training, but of course, there's still the whole steroids mess to deal with. We still don't now whether baseball plans to meet with him about this, or when any meeting might occur. | | | | | | Gustavo Chacin | S | D.L. | Jul 30 | shoulder | Out for the season | | Latest News:
Blue Jays transferred LHP Gustavo Chacin from the 15-day to the 60-day disabled list. Chacin is out for the season after surgery to repair a partially torn labrum. | | | | | | B.J. Ryan | R | D.L. | Apr 15 | elbow | Out for the season | | Latest News:
B.J. Ryan, who underwent Tommy John surgery in May, has begun throwing the ball. "He's throwing from 40 feet," GM J.P. Ricciardi said. "The trainers just want to videotape him and watch how he throws. They think the next step is to get 60 feet. I guess he's right on schedule. He'll go to New York. We'll videotape him again and then he'll go back to rehabbing (at home in Dallas)." It appears as if Ryan is on track to be ready for the start of the 2008 season, but he's still got a long road ahead of him. | | | | | | Davis Romero | R | D.L. | Mar 31 | shoulder | Out for the season | | Latest News:
Blue Jays transferred LHP Davis Romero from the 15- to the 60-day disabled list. Romero is out for the season with a torn labrum. The move makes room for Jamie Vermilyea on the 40-man roster. | |
| Name | POS | Status | Date | Injury | Returns | | | | | Rafael Soriano | R | Suspended | Sep 28 | head | Return Sept. 30 | | Latest News:
Rafael Soriano's four-game suspension for hitting Dan Uggla on Sept. 17 was reduced to two games. He'll sit out tonight and Saturday before returning for Sunday's finale. Peter Moylan or Octavio Dotel could close tonight. | | | | | | Anthony Lerew | S | D.L. | Jul 19 | elbow | Out for the season | | Latest News:
Anthony Lerew underwent Tommy John surgery Thursday and is out for the season. Lerew had already missed two months with a sore elbow. That he waited this long to undergo surgery means he'll miss at least the first half of 2008. The Braves shouldn't count on him contributing before 2009. | | | | | | Mike Gonzalez | R | D.L. | May 16 | elbow | Out for the season | | Latest News:
Mike Gonzalez underwent successful Tommy John surgery on his left elbow Thursday. Gonzalez is expected to miss around 12 months. | | | | | | Mike Hampton | S | D.L. | Mar 30 | elbow | Out for the season | | Latest News:
Mike Hampton (Tommy John surgery) has been throwing off the mound on Tuesdays and Fridays at around 75 percent. Hampton is still deciding if he will pitch in the Arizona Fall League or the Mexican Leagues this winter. The AFL begins in Oct. and Hampton might not be ready in time. | | | | | | Willy Aybar | 3B | D.L. | Mar 30 | hand | Out for the season | | Latest News:
Willy Aybar underwent season-ending surgery Tuesday to repair a fractured hamate bone in his right hand. The surgery puts to rest a very tumultuous season for Aybar. He will need 6-8 weeks to recover and then hopes to play in winter ball. It remains unclear if the Braves will bring the troubled third baseman back next season. | |
| Name | POS | Status | Date | Injury | Returns | | | | | Ben Sheets | S | Out | Sep 18 | hamstring | Day-to-day | | Latest News:
While Ben Sheets won't get a start Friday, he said he would be available to throw an inning out of the pen if needed. Sheets still had some soreness in his hamstring while throwing Thursday, but he thinks he can contribute. It's hard to imagine him being any worse than Derrick Turnbow in a setup role. | | | | | | Tony Graffanino | 2B | D.L. | Aug 9 | knee | Out for the season | | Latest News:
Tony Graffanino has had surgery to insert a bone graft in his damaged knee, but will need to wait until Dec. to have surgery to have a new ACL attached. Graffanino won't be healed in time for spring training. He is a free agent after the 2007 season and might not find work until he can prove his knee is completely healthy. | | | | | | Corey Koskie | 3B | D.L. | Apr 1 | concussion | Out for the season | | Latest News:
Brewers transferred third baseman Corey Koskie from the 15-day to the 60-day disabled list. Koskie isn't expected back this month as he continues to deal with post-concussion syndrome. His status for 2008 is uncertain. The Brewers will decline his option this winter and let him catch on elsewhere if he wants to. | |
| Name | POS | Status | Date | Injury | Returns | | | | | Miguel Cairo | 1B | Out | Sep 29 | hamstring | Day-to-day | | Latest News:
Miguel Cairo came out of Saturday's game in the fifth inning with tightness in his right hamstring. He was replaced by Brian Barden. Cairo, who also had hamstring problems last year, will probably sit out the season finale. | | | | | | Yadier Molina | C | Out | Sep 24 | knee | Out for the season | | Latest News:
Yadier Molina underwent surgery Monday to repair a medial meniscus tear in his right knee. Molina had been playing through a sore knee and would have continued to do so had the Cardinals remained in contention. Since they're not, he'll get it taken care of now. Rehab shouldn't take more than a month or two. Gary Bennett and Kelly Stinnett will catch for the Cards. | | | | | | Chris Duncan | OF | Out | Sep 20 | groin | Out for the season | | Latest News:
Chris Duncan underwent surgery on Thursday to repair a sports hernia and will miss the rest of the season. Duncan, who hit .259/.354/.480 in 375 at-bats, will need to rehab for about 10 weeks. Since the Cardinals will need to spend most of their money on pitching, Duncan figures to open next year as the team's primary left field. He deserves it, bases on his first-half performance. | | | | | | Mark Mulder | S | Out | Sep 19 | shoulder | Out for the season | | Latest News:
Mark Mulder underwent surgery Monday to clean up an unhealed portion of his rotator cuff. Dr. George Paletta said Mulder will be at full strength well before spring training. We'll believe it when we see it. | | | | | | Juan Encarnacion | OF | D.L. | Sep 5 | eye | Out for the season | | Latest News:
Juan Encarnacion underwent a medical procedure recently to help correct the damage to his orbital bone. "His friends sound very encouraged with where he is," assistant general manager John Mozeliak said. The Cardinals have received encouraging reports on Encarnacion's condition, but are waiting to see if his vision is improving. | | | | | | Scott Rolen | 3B | D.L. | Aug 31 | shoulder | Out for the season | | Latest News:
Scott Rolen underwent season-ending surgery to repair his left shoulder on Tuesday. Doctors removed scar tissue and his left shoulder was manipulated to aid the restoration of his range of motion. He should be recovered in time for spring training. | | | | | | Adam Kennedy | 2B | D.L. | Aug 12 | knee | Out for the season | | Latest News:
Adam Kennedy took ground balls Wednesday for the first time since undergoing surgery to repair a torn muscle in his left knee. Kennedy says he feels 100 percent and expects to be ready for spring training. | | | | | | Preston Wilson | OF | D.L. | May 6 | knee | Out for the season | | Latest News:
Preston Wilson underwent surgery on his right knee Tuesday and will be out the rest of the season. The Cardinals weren't going to benefit from his presence anyway. Wilson hit .219/.265/.313 in 64 at-bats before going on the disabled list. | | | | | | Chris Carpenter | S | D.L. | Apr 9 | elbow | Out for the season | | Latest News:
Chris Carpenter (Tommy John surgery) had the brace removed from his right arm and will begin a weight training program in about a month. Carpenter is expected to begin a throwing program in January. | | | | | | Josh Kinney | R | D.L. | Mar 31 | elbow | Out for the season | | Latest News:
Josh Kinney, who was attempting to recover from Tommy John surgery, suffered a broken elbow while playing catch. "This will give my ligament that much more time to heal," Kinney said. "Everything else is good. That's the good news. I just cracked a bone." Kinney had surgery to repair the broken elbow on Friday. | |
| Name | POS | Status | Date | Injury | Returns | | | | | Angel Pagan | OF | D.L. | Aug 8 | flu | Out indefinitely | | Latest News:
Angel Pagan, who has been working out at the Cubs' off-season facility in Arizona, isn't expected to rejoin the team this season. ''I think we're at the point where the season's passed him by,'' manager Lou Piniella said. Pagan has been out since early August after coming down with colitis.
| | | | | | Angel Guzman | R | D.L. | Jun 6 | arm | Out for the season | | Latest News:
The Cubs announced that RHP Angel Guzman underwent reconstructive elbow surgery three weeks ago. Guzman is expected to need most of the 2008 season to recover from the operation. | | | | | | Roberto Novoa | R | D.L. | Jun 6 | shoulder | Out indefinitely | | Latest News:
Cubs recalled RHP Roberto Novoa from Triple-A Iowa and placed him on the 60-day disabled list. Novoa has been sidelined with shoulder problems since spring training. The Cubs hope to have him pitching in games again next month. | | | | | | Mark Prior | S | D.L. | Mar 28 | shoulder | Out for the season | | Latest News:
Mark Prior, who had shoulder surgery in March, met with Dr. James Andrews and has been cleared to begin a throwing program. ''Everything was great,'' Prior said. ''We're [starting] a long and slow throwing program.'' Prior expects to be ready for Opening Day, but with his history of arm issues we won't believe it until we see it.
| |
| Name | POS | Status | Date | Injury | Returns | | | | | Carl Crawford | OF | Out | Sep 16 | groin | Out for the season | | Latest News:
Carl Crawford is done for the year because of his strained groin. Crawford finishes the season at .315/.355/.466 with 50 steals in 60 attempts. He struck out a career-high 112 times in 584 at-bats, but he finished with an OPS right in between his marks from 2005 (800) and 2006 (830). | | | | | | Ben Zobrist | SS | D.L. | Aug 19 | ribs | Out for the season | | Latest News:
Devil Rays transferred infielder Ben Zobrist from the 15-day to the 60-day disabled list. The move makes room for Jorge Velandia on the 40-man roster. Zobrist will miss the rest of the year with a strained oblique. | | | | | | Shawn Riggans | C | D.L. | Jun 4 | elbow | Out for the season | | Latest News:
Catcher Shawn Riggans is going to miss the rest of the season after undergoing right elbow surgery. Riggans should be recovered by spring training but missed his first chance for extensive big-league playing time. "It's another setback for him," manager Joe Maddon said. "This was the year he may have had the chance to really get an opportunity." | | | | | | Rocco Baldelli | OF | D.L. | May 17 | hamstring | Out indefinitely | | Latest News:
Rocco Baldelli confirmed Thursday that he won't play again this season. The Rays have been running a bunch of undisclosed tests in hope of getting to the root of Baldelli's hamstring problems. "I know how big the gamut [of rumors] is because I'm getting tested for a lot of different things," Baldelli said. "In a couple of weeks, all the test results should be in and we'll have an idea about what direction we need to go next." | |
| Name | POS | Status | Date | Injury | Returns | | | | | Chad Tracy | 3B | Out | Sep 17 | knee | Out for the season | | Latest News:
Chad Tracy (microfracture surgery) has already started rehabbing his surgically repaired knee.

Orlando Hudson underwent season-ending surgery Monday to repair the torn ligament in his left thumb. "He should be ready to go for spring training next year, no problems," assistant general manager Peter Woodfork said. | | | | | | Randy Johnson | S | D.L. | Jul 3 | back | Out for the season | | Latest News:
Eric Byrnes said teammate Randy Johnson's surgery went "a little better than expected" in terms of removing the herniated disk from his back. "You have to respect his age (44 next month), his history (two prior back surgeries)," Byrnes said. "Again, I think we're encouraged, and I think the surgery went pretty well, and there's ample time to get him ready for 2008." He now has six and a half months to recover before training camp begins. | |
| Name | POS | Status | Date | Injury | Returns | | | | | Jeff Kent | 2B | Out | Sep 27 | leg | Day-to-day | | Latest News:
Jeff Kent, whose $9 million option kicked in earlier this month, is uncertain whether he wants to return to the Dodgers next year. "I guarantee you that if I were to make a decision right now, I'd say no - because that's how frustrated I am about not being able to get to the playoffs," he said. "I'm also frustrated at myself because I didn't play good enough to get there. Now I have to go home and look at my wife and my four kids in the face and try to figure out what we all want to do." It seems like the Dodger veterans are truly annoyed with the direction of the team, though they've been largely outplayed by the youngsters whenever the under-27 guys have received the opportunity. If Kent wants out, the Dodgers could simply let Tony Abreu and Chin-Lung Hu battle for a starting job next spring. | | | | | | Tony Abreu | 3B | Out | Sep 24 | groin | Day-to-day | | Latest News:
Tony Abreu underwent successful abdominal surgery on Wednesday. Abreu will need around eight weeks to recover from the operation. He is expected to be ready for spring training. | | | | | | Ramon Martinez | 2B | Out | Sep 22 | elbow | Day-to-day | | Latest News:
Ramon Martinez underwent an MRI on his left elbow on Friday. Martinez had to leave the second game of Tuesday's doubleheader after injuring his elbow. His return this season is looking doubtful. | | | | | | Rafael Furcal | SS | Out | Sep 18 | back | Out for the season | | Latest News:
Rafael Furcal learned he won't need to undergo surgery to repair his sore left ankle. Furcal underwent an MRI Tuesday which revealed no structural damage in the ankle. The sore ankle, which is a major cause of Furcal's drop in stolen bases this year, should be fully healed by spring training. | | | | | | Hong-Chih Kuo | S | D.L. | Sep 4 | elbow | Out for the season | | Latest News:
Hong-Chih Kuo won't pitch again this season due to continued soreness in his left elbow. Kuo will likely remain with the team until the end of the season to continue his rehab program. | | | | | | Chin-Hui Tsao | R | D.L. | Jul 15 | shoulder | Out indefinitely | | Latest News:
Chin-Hui Tsao (right shoulder strain) is still unable to throw and it is doubtful he will return this season. Tsao has been out since mid-July with a sore shoulder. | | | | | | Randy Wolf | S | D.L. | Jul 4 | shoulder | Out for the season | | Latest News:
No structural damage was found when Randy Wolf underwent exploratory surgery on his shoulder. Wolf had some debris removed, but the news was good for him. The free-agent-to-be should be ready for the begining of spring training. | | | | | | Jason Schmidt | S | D.L. | Jun 18 | shoulder | Out for the season | | Latest News:
Jason Schmidt (shoulder surgery) could begin a throwing program in November, according to trainer Stan Conte. Schmidt, who underwent surgery on his shoulder in June, should be healthy and ready in time for spring training. | | | | | | Yhency Brazoban | R | D.L. | Jun 1 | shoulder | Out for the season | | Latest News:
Yhency Brazoban, who underwent season-ending surgery to repair a torn labrum in June, will throw for the first time since the surgery on Wednesday. Brazoban should be ready for spring training. | | | | | | Jason Repko | OF | D.L. | Mar 31 | groin | Likely out for the season | | Latest News:
Dodgers transferred outfielder Jason Repko from the 15-day to the 60-day disabled list. Repko isn't expected back this year after undergoing surgery in March for a torn hamstring. | |
| Name | POS | Status | Date | Injury | Returns | | | | | Noah Lowry | S | Out | Sep 7 | elbow | Out indefinitely | | Latest News:
An MRI on Noah Lowry's sore elbow revealed a mild strain and no structural damage. Lowry won't need to undergo Tommy John surgery, but it is unlikely he will return this season. | | | | | | Vinnie Chulk | R | D.L. | Aug 27 | arm | Out for the season | | Latest News:
Giants transferred RHP Vinnie Chulk from the 15-day disabled list to the 60-day disabled list. Chulk is out for the season with a circulatory disorder likely brought on by his use of chewing tobacco. | | | | | | Russ Ortiz | S | D.L. | Aug 21 | elbow | Out for the season | | Latest News:
Russ Ortiz will miss all of next season after surgery to repair his flexor tendon revealed that he also required a Tommy John procedure to reconstruct his MCL. Before the surgery, doctors discussed the contingency with Ortiz and he signed off on having the ligament reconstructed if warranted. "Russ was adamant that he wants to keep pitching," trainer Dave Groeschner said. "This will give him the best chance to do that." | |
| Name | POS | Status | Date | Injury | Returns | | | | | Edward Mujica | R | Out | Sep 19 | knee | Out for the season | | Latest News:
Edward Mujica underwent season-ending surgery on his left knee Wednesday. Mujica wasn't expected to win a spot on the postseason roster anyway. He had a disappointing 8.31 ERA in 13 2/3 innings for Cleveland. | | | | | | Brad Snyder | OF | D.L. | Aug 31 | thumb | Out for the season | | Latest News:
Indians recalled outfielder Brad Snyder from Triple-A Buffalo and placed him on the 15-day disabled list with a broken left thumb. MLB has had plenty of opportunities to either tighten or loosen the postseason roster rules, but it's too busy making sure Terry Francona has his uniform on under his pullover during games. As a result, we get ridiculous moves like this. Snyder will be included on the playoff roster the Indians sumbit to the league, simply so that the team can wait until later to decide on who it really wants to carry. Every team does it, so we're not blaming the Indians. It's just a really stupid process that should be easily fixable. Snyder, of course, is glad it hasn't been done yet. Since he'll spend the next month on the DL, he'll collect an extra $60,000 this year. That reason alone should be sufficient for teams to want to fix the process. | |
| Name | POS | Status | Date | Injury | Returns | | | | | Jorge Campillo | R | Out | Sep 26 | hand | Day-to-day | | Latest News:
X-rays were negative on the hand of Jorge Campillo, stung by a line drive Wednesday night off the bat of Casey Blake. That's a relief, as the Mariners thought his hand was broken. It's unclear if Campillo will pitch again this season, but at least this injury isn't serious. | | | | | | Richie Sexson | 1B | Out | Sep 10 | hamstring | Day-to-day | | Latest News:
Richie Sexson will sit out the remainder of the season due to a hamstring injury. Sexson has missed 20 of the last 24 games due to the injury. | | | | | | Arthur Rhodes | R | D.L. | Apr 10 | elbow | Out for the season | | Latest News:
Arthur Rhodes, who missed most of the season after undergoing Tommy John surgery in April, won't have his 2008 option picked up by the Mariners. The Mariners might be open to signing Rhodes to a minor league contract and giving him a chance to make the team during spring training. | | | | | | Cesar Jimenez | R | D.L. | Apr 1 | elbow | Out indefinitely | | Latest News:
Cesar Jimenez, on the DL since the start of the season with a stress fracture in his elbow, pitched two scoreless innings for the Rookie AZL Mariners on Friday. Jimenez has made nice progress from March surgery, opening up the possibility that he could pitch for the Mariners in September. | |
| Name | POS | Status | Date | Injury | Returns | | | | | Byung-Hyun Kim | S | Out | Sep 28 | hand | Day-to-day | | Latest News:
Byung-Hyun Kim left Friday night's game with a blister on his right hand. Kim's season is over. | | | | | | Josh Willingham | OF | Out | Sep 22 | back | Out for the season | | Latest News:
An MRI on Josh Willingham's back revealed a herniated disc, which will sideline him for the remainder of the season. "I wasn't playing 100 percent, obviously,'' Willingham said. ``It needs rest, let it take care of itself a little bit. It's something I can do in the offseason with exercises.'' Todd Linden and Brett Carroll will see increased at-bats with Willingham out.
| | | | | | Sergio Mitre | S | Out | Sep 21 | arm | Out indefinitely | | Latest News:
Sergio Mitre, still dealing with a dead arm, won't start Sunday against the Mets. The Marlins will go with Chris Seddon instead. It appears likely that Mitre is done for the year. | | | | | | Armando Benitez | R | Out | Sep 1 | back | Day-to-day | | Latest News:
Armando Benitez (sore back) is scheduled to throw a bullpen session on Friday. It is still possible that Benitez will pitch again this season, but he isn't expected to be available for at least another five days. | | | | | | Josh Johnson | S | D.L. | Jul 5 | arm | Out for the season | | Latest News:
Manager Fredi Gonzalez acknowledged that Josh Johnson, who had surgery Tommy John surgery Friday to repair ligament damage in his elbow, would miss all of next season. "With Tommy John [surgery], it's 12 to 16 months," Gonzalez said. ``You're looking at spring training 2009. "You see guys come back and pitch better.

X-rays revealed that Carlos Delgado suffered a fractured left hand when he was hit by a Dontrelle Willis pitch on Sunday. It figures that the Mets will be without Delgado if they still manage to make it to the postseason. Shawn Green and Jeff Conine would play first base, with Lastings Milledge seeing a lot of time in right field. | | | | | | Endy Chavez | OF | Out | Sep 29 | personal | Day-to-day | | Latest News:
Endy Chavez has left the team to attend the funeral of his sister. Chavez's sister passed away after a long illness. | | | | | | Jason Vargas | S | D.L. | Sep 21 | elbow | Out for the season | | Latest News:
Jason Vargas underwent surgery Wednesday to have a bone spur removed from his left elbow. The Mets have to hope that a healthy elbow will give Vargas some additional velocity next year. With the way he was throwing this season, he had no realistic chance of succeeding against major league hitters. | | | | | | Damion Easley | 2B | D.L. | Aug 19 | ankle | Out for the season | | Latest News:
Damion Easley, who missed the final month of the season after tearing ligaments in his ankle, expects to be running by November. Easley is eligible for free agency, but hopes to return to the Mets for the 2008 season. | | | | | | Jose Valentin | 2B | D.L. | Jul 21 | leg | Out for the season | | Latest News:
Jose Valentin, who underwent season-ending knee surgery Tuesday, was back at Shea Stadium on Wednesday talking about starting his rehab. "I know I'm going to be somewhere next year," Valentin said. "I don't want to go away like this." The typical recovery time for the surgery Valentin underwent is six months, but he says he hopes to be back in time for spring training. He is a free agent after the season. | | | | | | Duaner Sanchez | R | D.L. | Apr 1 | shoulder | Out indefinitely | | Latest News:
Duaner Sanchez (shoulder surgery) has resumed throwing at Port St. Lucie, but according to Mets VP Tony Bernazard it is unlikely he will pitch for the Mets this season. Sanchez is attempting to recover from a hairline fracture of the coracoid bone in his right shoulder. He should be close to 100 percent for spring training. | | | | | | Juan Padilla | R | D.L. | Apr 1 | elbow | Out indefinitely | | Latest News:
Juan Padilla will undergo surgery Friday to repair a partial tear of his flexor tendon. It's the same setback Mike Hampton had in his recovery from Tommy John surgery, though since it's just a partial tear, perhaps there's still a chance he'll help this season. | |

Shawn Hill has been scratched from his start Wednesday will have surgery on his right elbow to release the radial nerve. Hill was already scheduled for left shoulder surgery on Oct. 4. This is more significant, given that it's to his pitching arm, but he should still be ready for spring training. Hill finishes the year 4-5 with a 3.42 ERA in 16 starts. He'd prove to be a legitimate No. 3 starter if he could just stay healthy for a full year. | | | | | | Micah Bowie | R | Out | Sep 14 | groin | Out for the season | | Latest News:
Micah Bowie will have a sports hernia and miss the rest of the season. Bowie apparently started having problems while rehabbing a hip injury. He could go on the 60-day DL tomorrow. | | | | | | Ryan Wagner | R | D.L. | May 8 | shoulder | Out for the season | | Latest News:
Nationals transferred RHP Ryan Wagner from the 15-day to the 60-day disabled list. Wagner is out for the season after surgery this month to repair a torn labrum. | | | | | | John Patterson | S | D.L. | May 6 | elbow | Out for the season | | Latest News:
John Patterson underwent surgery Friday to decompress the radial nerve in his right elbow. "We are excited about the surgery. The outlook looks good," GM Jim Bowden said.

Nick Johnson underwent surgery Tuesday to have a rod and screw removed from the right leg he broke last September. Johnson won't be able to run for at least two months. It remains questionable if he will be ready in time for spring training. | | | | | | Alex Escobar | OF | D.L. | Mar 28 | shoulder | Out for the season | | Latest News:
Alex Escobar will have surgery on his foot and miss the rest of the season. Escobar missed the first 2 1/2 months of the year while rehabbing his surgically repaired shoulder, went down in mid-June after spraining his ankle on his rehab assignment and then aggravated his shoulder in mid-July when he was supposed to be close to taking over as the Nationals' everyday left field. What the foot problem is, we're not sure, but it's barely worth noting. Escobar is highly unlikely to ever be healthy or productive enough to contribute as anything more than a fifth outfielder. | |

Danys Baez has opted for Tommy John surgery and is expected to miss next season. Baez wanted to try to rehab, but surgery probably is the right move for his career. While a return late in 2008 can't be ruled out, he probably won't be back until 2009 for the final season of his three-year, $19 million contract. | | | | | | Erik Bedard | S | D.L. | Sep 9 | ribs | Out for the season | | Latest News:
Orioles VP of Baseball Operations Jim Duquette announced his resignation Friday. He'll attempt to acquire Victor Zambrano for another team next year. It's unclear whether Duquette was forced out by new president Andy MacPhail. He almost certainly had fewer responsibilities with MacPhail's addition. | | | | | | Corey Patterson | OF | Out | Sep 6 | ankle | Out for the season | | Latest News:
The Orioles officially shut down Corey Patterson (ankle) on Thursday. Manager Dave Trembley made it pretty clear Wednesday that this would happen. Patterson ends the year at .269/.304/.386 in 461 at-bats. He'll have to hope someone weighs his Gold Glove-caliber defense highly if he wants a starting job somewhere next year. | | | | | | Garrett Olson | S | Out | Sep 6 | arm | Out for the season | | Latest News:
Garrett Olson (arm) will not pitch for the Orioles again in 2007, manager Dave Trembley says. The team wants Olson to stick around until the end of the current road trip and then head to Instructional League. "He's going down to Sarasota [Fla.] on Tuesday and he'll start a throwing program down there," Trembley said. "Hopefully, at some point in time during instructional league, he'll be able to be game-ready. I'd like to see him pitch maybe one inning in a game in instructional league before he goes home, just to let everybody know and himself know that he's 100 percent." | | | | | | Jay Gibbons | OF | D.L. | Aug 13 | shoulder | Out for the season | | Latest News:
Jay Gibbons met with MLB executives on Monday in the wake of his part in the recent HGH story. "I met with Major League Baseball representatives [yesterday] and was happy to answer all of their questions." He wouldn't comment further, likely on the advice of his lawyer and perhaps a gag order dictated by baseball. MLB wouldn't even confirm the meeting happened.

Orioles transferred RHP Chris Ray from the 15-day to the 60-day disabled list. Ray is likely to miss all of next year after Tommy John surgery. | | | | | | Adam Loewen | S | D.L. | May 6 | elbow | Out for the season | | Latest News:
After surgery to place a screw in his left elbow to help heal the stress fracture that has kept him out since May, Adam Loewen said he expects to be throwing by December. Loewen added he expects to be at full strength for spring training next year. He finished the season 2-0 with a 2.56 ERA. Dr. [James] Andrews came up to me after the surgery and told me everything went according to plan," Loewen said. "I'm kind of relieved." | | | | | | Kris Benson | S | D.L. | Feb 12 | shoulder | Likely out for the season | | Latest News:
Kris Benson's (shoulder) agent said Tuesday that the injured right-hander could begin throwing next month. The Orioles hold a $7.5 million option on Benson for 2008, but they're expected to decline given that he's recovering from labrum surgery. | |

Padres placed RHP Clay Hensley on the 60-day disabled list with a torn labrum. Hensley, who underwent surgery Friday, is questionable for the start of next year.

Milton Bradley may need surgery to remove "loose bodies" from his right elbow, according to general manager Kevin Towers. Bradley, a free agent this winter, is currently recovering from surgery to repair a torn ACL and MCL.

Kason Gabbard has been scratched from his start Wednesday due to forearm soreness. "Rather than him keep pushing it we just decided to shut him down," manager Ron Washington said. "It's nothing that is going to be following him into the spring." Unless maybe there's some ligament damage the Rangers don't know about, Gabbard will probably open 2008 as the team's fourth or fifth starter. | | | | | | Akinori Otsuka | R | D.L. | Jul 19 | elbow | Out indefinitely | | Latest News:
Akinori Otsuka (elbow) says he's not trying to throw anymore. He's officially done for the season, and should surgery be required, Otsuka could very well be done as a Ranger. | | | | | | Josh Rupe | R | D.L. | Jun 16 | elbow | Out indefinitely | | Latest News:

Ken Griffey Jr. will miss the rest of the season with a high left groin strain. It looked like a groin when it happened, but then the Reds called it an abdominal strain after the game. Griffey, who was really slumping this month, ends the season at .277/.372/.496 with 30 homers and 93 RBI in 144 games. It was the most games he had played in since 2000, his first year in Cincinnati. Jason Ellison and Buck Coats will play right field for the rest of the season. | | | | | | Scott Hatteberg | 1B | Out | Sep 17 | ribs | Day-to-day | | Latest News:
Scott Hatteberg, who has been bothered by an oblique strain, took batting practice and is available to pinch-hit. Hatteberg will mostly be used as just a pinch-hitter the remainder of the season.

Willy Taveras (quad) will be included on Colorado's roster for the NLCS beginning Thursday.

Manager Clint Hurdle didn't say whether Taveras would start Thursday. | | | | | | Ramon Ramirez | R | D.L. | Sep 8 | elbow | Out for the season | | Latest News:
Rockies recalled RHP Ramon Ramirez and placed him on the 60-day disabled list with right elbow inflammation. Ramirez had a very disappointing 2007 season, amassing an 8.31 ERA in three stints with the Rockies. | | | | | | Elmer Dessens | R | Out | Sep 7 | hamstring | Day-to-day | | Latest News:
Elmer Dessens' hamstring felt fine after throwing a simulated game Wednesday, but Mark Redman will start Saturday's game. Dessens had been a candidate to start Saturday, but the Rockies will go with Redman. It looks like Dessens will pitch out of the bullpen if he returns this season. | | | | | | Aaron Cook | S | D.L. | Aug 16 | ribs | Out for the season | | Latest News:
Manager Clint Hurdle said Aaron Cook (oblique) proved he was healthy with Wednesday's simulated game, but that he still wouldn't be included on the Rockies' roster for the NLCS. Even if they didn't want to start him, it's surprising that they didn't want him in middle relief. This means Josh Fogg will start Game 4. | | | | | | Jason Hirsh | S | D.L. | Aug 9 | leg | Out for the season | | Latest News:
Jason Hirsh (fractured fibula) threw a 25 pitch bullpen session on Thursday and will throw another one Saturday. "I think they feel I'm shut down, but I would like to change their mind," Hirsh said of Rockies management. "(Aaron Cook) is farther along than I am, but I'm making progress." Hirsh might pitch in the NLCS if the Rockies make it. | | | | | | Rodrigo Lopez | S | D.L. | Aug 2 | elbow | Out for the season | | Latest News:
Rodrigo Lopez will require at least 10 months to recover after he needed to have an elbow ligament repaired during his surgery to fix a torn flexor tendon in his right arm. Lopez didn't go into the operation room expecting to have Tommy John surgery.

Neal Musser will miss the remainder of the season after breaking his right little finger punching a chair in the clubhouse after Monday's game. Well, at least he was smart enough not to use his pitching hand. Still, he's going to need a couple of weeks off and that's enough to end his year. Musser, who was upset after retiring just one of the four hitters he faced last night, finishes with a 4.38 ERA in 17 relief appearances. | | | | | | Ryan Shealy | 1B | D.L. | Aug 31 | hamstring | Out for the season | | Latest News:
Ryan Shealy's future with the Royals is in doubt. It doesn't appear that they clearly see him as the starter at first base anymore. With this in mind, Billy Butler will continue his apprenticeship at first this month and then head off to Instructional League and Winter Ball to learn the position. There is also the possibility that KC could move either Mark Teahen or Alex Gordon to first base, should it land a run-producing left fielder or third baseman. Shealy's future as a starter will hang in the balance depending on how this works out. | | | | | | Odalis Perez | S | D.L. | Aug 22 | knee | Out for the season | | Latest News:

Reggie Sanders says if he is going to play on beyond 2007, it will have to be in the right situation. "It has to be with a winning ballclub," he said, "and on the West Coast." Now 39, Sanders' recent injury woes have been even worse than normal. He played only 88 games last season, and is done for the year this season after suiting up a mere 24 times. Who is going to pay him what he wants with that kind of dependability? | | | | | | John Thomson | S | D.L. | Jul 16 | back | Out indefinitely | | Latest News:
Royals transferred RHP John Thomson from the 15-day to the 60-day disabled list. Thomson, out since July 15 with back spasms, was been dealing with a wrist problem over the last week. That might prevent him from making any starts for Kansas City next month. | | | | | | Luke Hudson | S | D.L. | May 13 | shoulder | Out indefinitely | | Latest News:
Luke Hudson is expected to undergo shoulder surgery Thursday and will likely miss the remainder of the season.

Royals transferred RHP Roman Colon from the 15-day to the 60-day disabled list. Colon, acquired from the Tigers on Friday, has already been on the DL for 60 days, so this doesn't change anything.

Royals placed shortstop Angel Sanchez on the 60-day disabled list with a right elbow injury. The Royals didn't say whether it was Tommy John surgery that he'd require.

Royals placed RHP Joe Nelson on the 60-day disabled list following right shoulder surgery. This opens up a 40-man roster spot for Tony Pena Jr. Nelson is expected to miss at least the first two months of the season and might not pitch at all for the Royals this season. | |

Yorman Bazardo will start Tuesday. Bonderman, who opened the season 10-1, finishes up 11-9 with a 5.01 ERA. Until he turns in six good months, he has to be considered one of baseball's most overrated pitchers. | | | | | | Neifi Perez | SS | Suspended | Jul 6 | thumb | Out for the season | | Latest News:
Neifi Perez's Tigers career likely ended with his 80-game suspension for a positive amphetamines test.
