Fairbanks will undergo surgery to treat thoracic outlet syndrome, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.

Fairbanks was ruled out for the season upon landing on the injured list Tuesday with nerve irritation in his right hand, and now that he's confirmed to be dealing with thoracic outlet syndrome, he'll go under the knife to treat the issue. A timeline for his return should emerge after his procedure, though he'll likely have to sit out the first portion of the 2027 campaign.

Manager Aaron Boone said Friday that Weathers (forearm) likely won't return in time to pitch again in the regular season, Bryan Hoch of MLB.com reports.

Out since Aug. 23 with a forearm flexor strain, Weathers was initially expected to return from the injured list and work as a reliever during the final stretch of the regular season. However, it no longer seems like he'll have enough time to build up before the campaign ends Sept. 27. The 26-year-old southpaw may still have a chance to pitch in the postseason, though the Yankees will likely wait to see how he progresses over the next week or so before determining his playoff availability.

Manager Aaron Boone said Friday that Chisholm (thumb) is expected to return from the injured list during New York's upcoming homestand, Bryan Hoch of MLB.com reports.

Chisholm has been on the shelf since Sept. 10 due to a sprained right thumb, and although Boone didn't give an exact date for when Chisholm will be activated, the second baseman appears to have made encouraging progress in his recovery. He'll presumably spend the rest of the weekend ramping up baseball activities before the team determines his availability for Tuesday's series opener against the Rays.

Schanuel (side) returned from his rehab assignment Friday and isn't expected to get activated from the injured list before the end of the season, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports.

Schanuel was cleared to begin a rehab assignment at Triple-A Salt Lake last weekend, but he appeared in just one game Sunday and hasn't played since. He rejoined the team Friday to undergo further testing and receive treatment, and although the results of his latest tests are unknown, manager Kurt Suzuki said that the 24-year-old will most likely be shut down for the year. Vaughn Grissom is expected to continue working as the Angels' primary first baseman for the rest of the regular season.

The Blue Jays released Sosa from Triple-A Buffalo on Friday, Mitch Bannon of The Athletic reports.

Sosa was outrighted to Triple-A in mid-August following his activation from the 60-day IL after recovering from a right wrist contusion. He'll now hit the open market and look to catch on with a team in need of depth in the infield. Prior to his release, Sosa had a .490 OPS with one home run and nine RBI across 117 major-league plate appearances between the White Sox and Blue Jays.

Suarez (elbow) is scheduled to pitch for Triple-A Gwinnett on Sunday, Chad Bishop of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.

Suarez has been slowly progressing through his recovery from right elbow inflammation that landed him on the 15-day injured list in late June before he was transferred to the 60-day IL on Sept. 1. Sunday is the last game of the regular season for Gwinnett, so any additional sessions for Suarez will likely be in bullpens while with Atlanta. The veteran right-hander could be back in the bullpen with the big club before the 2026 regular season concludes.

The Angels placed Paris on the 10-day injured list Friday with a fractured right index finger, retroactive to Tuesday

Paris said Friday that he injured himself while fielding grounders before Thursday's game, per Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register. The 24-year-old is expected to need 3-to-4 weeks to recover, which rules him out for the rest of the season but leaves him plenty of time to be ready for 2027. Bryce Teodosio was recalled from Triple-A Salt Lake to replenish the Halos' bench depth.

The Angels recalled Teodosio from Triple-A Salt Lake on Friday.

Teodosio will rejoin the big-league club for the first time since being demoted Aug. 28. With Salt Lake this season, the 27-year-old has slashed .249/.324/.400 with eight homers, 32 RBI and 27 stolen bases in 298 plate appearances. Teodosio replaces Kyren Paris (finger), who was sent to the 10-day injured list.

The Rangers transferred Winn (shoulder) to the 60-day injured list Friday.

Winn was placed on the injured list Aug. 31 with a right rotator cuff strain, and moving to the 60-day IL will ensure he remains out for the rest of the season. His place on the 40-man roster will be given to Michel Otanez, who was selected to the active roster Friday.

Gimenez is not in the Blue Jays' starting lineup against the Rangers on Friday due to a hamstring injury, Arden Zwelling of Sportsnet.ca reports.

Gimenez has been working through hamstring soreness for the past couple of days, and while he could be available off the bench Friday, the Blue Jays would prefer for him to rest up and be cleared to return for Saturday's contest. In Gimenez's absence, Ernie Clement will start at shortstop while Josh Smith gets the draw at second base.
