Meyer underwent labral repair surgery on his left hip Friday, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.

Meyer landed on the 10-day injured list in early June due to what was initially diagnosed as a left hip impingement, but further tests revealed a more serious labral injury. The recovery timeline is roughly 6-to-8 months, so Meyer could be fully healthy for the start of spring training. He went 3-5 across 12 starts with a 4.73 ERA, 1.42 WHIP and 68:20 K:BB across 64.2 innings prior to his injury.

Glasnow (shoulder) will make his second rehab start with Triple-A Oklahoma City on Friday, Bill Plunkett of The Orange County Register reports.

Glasnow took the mound this past Sunday for the first time since April 27, tossing two scoreless innings and walking three batters while striking out one and allowing no hits in his first rehab outing with Oklahoma City. He'll make a second start Friday and will have his right shoulder re-evaluated once he finishes his third rehab start next week.

The Rangers reinstated Eovaldi (triceps) from the 15-day injured list to start Friday's game against the Mariners.

Eovaldi returns from the injured list without going on a rehab assignment. The 35-year-old threw 50 pitches in three simulated innings last week. While he may not reach his typical pitch count, Eovaldi doesn't appear to be facing any major restrictions. Prior to sustaining the injury, Eovaldi logged a 1.56 ERA across 69.1 innings. His activation will boot Dane Dunning from the 26-man roster.

Woodruff (elbow/ankle/shoulder) will resume his rehab assignment with Triple-A Nashville on Sunday, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.

Woodruff tossed a 60-pitch sim game Monday and has been given the green light to resume his rehab assignment, which was paused on two separate occasions due to ankle tendinitis and more recently, a right elbow contusion. The veteran right-hander has not pitched in a major-league game since undergoing shoulder surgery in October 2023, but if all goes well Sunday, he could return from the 60-day injured list and slot into the Milwaukee rotation next weekend against the Marlins.

Bradford (elbow) underwent an internal brace procedure Wednesday to repair his left UCL, Jeff Wilson of AllDLLS.com reports.

Bradford avoided traditional Tommy John surgery, instead undergoing the internal brace procedure. While there isn't a timeline for his return, the expectation is that Bradford will pitch sometime during the 2026 campaign. Considering Bradford didn't pitch in a game this season, Texas will likely be extra cautious in bringing him back.

Gil (lat) is expected to work up to about 35 pitches in a live session next week, and if all goes well, he could be sent on a rehab assignment, Gary Phillips of the New York Daily News reported Friday.

Gil has been completing bullpens regularly and is slated to face hitters early next week before the Yankees decide whether or not he's ready for a rehab assignment. Gil is on track for a late-July return, and he'll likely need several starts while on his assignment before being activated.

Francis (shoulder) resumed playing catch from 60-to-90 feet Friday, Arden Zwelling of Sportsnet.ca reports.

Francis landed on the 15-day injured list June 17 due to a right shoulder impingement. He was shut down from throwing after receiving a cortisone shot, but he has been given the green light to play catch and will look to progress enough in his recovery to start tossing bullpen sessions. Francis went 2-8 across 14 starts with a 6.05 ERA, 1.53 WHIP and 54:27 K:BB in 64 innings prior to landing on the IL.

Cortes (elbow) threw two simulated innings Friday and is expected to begin a rehab assignment with Triple-A Nashville on Wednesday, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.

Cortes continues to progress in his recovery from a left elbow strain that landed him on the injured list in early April. He was cleared to throw bullpen sessions in early June, and after completing a 25-pitch sim game Monday, he repeated the activity four days later. With Cortes checking out fine coming out of the workout, he's ready to take the final step in the recovery process by going out on a rehab assignment. Given the length of his absence, Cortes will need multiple rehab starts before returning from the 60-day injured list and slotting into the Milwaukee rotation, likely at some point shortly after the All-Star break.

Rodriguez (lat) mixed in breaking balls during Friday's bullpen session, Jake Rill of MLB.com reports.

Rodriguez had his recovery from an elbow injury derailed by triceps and lat injuries. However, he's focusing solely on his lat rehab and has begun throwing off a mound. The 25-year-old will need plenty of time to build up before being activated, so he shouldn't be expected back until August at the earliest.

Wells (elbow) threw a bullpen Friday, Jake Rill of MLB.com reports.

Wells has been throwing bullpens since late April and is expected to face live hitters sometime within the next week or two. He's been working his way back from UCL surgery. Wells shouldn't be back until at least early August.
