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.

The Guardians transferred Brennan (elbow) to the 60-day injured list Friday.

The outfielder has already been ruled out for the rest of the season after undergoing surgery to repair the UCL in his left elbow, so the move to the 60-day IL was an inevitability. The recovery period from Tommy John surgery is shorter for position players, so Brennan won't necessarily be sidelined for the start of 2026.

Bradish (elbow) will head to Baltimore's complex in Florida on Sunday and will begin throwing live batting practice, Jake Rill of MLB.com reports.

Bradish is on track in his recovery from Tommy John surgery, recently completing a goal he set in May of facing live hitters at the start of July. Bradish will likely require a few live sessions before seeing game action. He shouldn't be expected back until at least early August.

Santana is out of the lineup for Friday's game against the Cardinals.

Santana will yield to Kyle Manzardo at first base Friday, ending Santana's three-game start streak. The veteran first baseman is 13-for-77 (.169) with a pair of home runs in June.

Langford said Friday that he's dealing with a minor strained left oblique and believes the Rangers will give him a few days off before deciding about placing him on the 10-day injured list, Jeff Wilson of AllDLLS.com reports.

Langford is not in the lineup for Friday's series opener against the Mariners and could sit out the entire weekend after he was removed from Wednesday's game with the injury. Langford missed time at the beginning of the season with an oblique strain and has also dealt with some back stiffness of late. The 23-year-old is slashing .232/.308/.421 with 13 home runs, 31 RBI, 32 runs scored and 11 stolen bases across 292 plate appearances this season.

Urias isn't part of the starting nine for Friday's game against the Yankees.

Urias will get the night off Friday after making nine consecutive starts at second base. In his place, Max Schuemann will bat ninth and play the keystone.

Wynns is out of the lineup for Friday's game against the Yankees.

Wynns has one hit in his last 15 at-bats, and he'll get the night off Friday. Willie MacIver will bat eighth and fill in behind the dish.

Burdi (foot) has been shut down due to a hip injury, Gabrielle Starr of the Boston Herald reports.

Burdi had been rehabbing at Triple-A Worcester, but he hasn't appeared in a game since June 15. It's now known he's picked up a hip injury and has been temporarily shut down. The severity of his setback is unclear.

Yoshida (shoulder) could begin a rehab assignment Tuesday, Gabrielle Starr of the Boston Herald reports.

Yoshida is expected to play outfield during his rehab stint, a notable development considering Yoshida exclusively played DH in 2024. It's unclear how many games Yoshida will need to ramp up, but he's nearing a big-league return. He's been on the shelf since October after undergoing right shoulder surgery.
