AJ Smith-Shawver (RHP)
Injury: Bruised right forearm
Update: After taking a 105 mph line drive to the forearm in Colorado on April 30, Smith-Shawver played catch on May 3. Manager Brian Snitker said he’s still on track to make his next start on May 5.
Spencer Strider (RHP)
Injury: Strained right hamstring
Update: Placed on the IL retroactive to April 18, Strider has been cleared to throw lightly but hasn’t pitched off a mound yet. The team is being cautious, especially since the injury came shortly after his return from elbow surgery. A mid-to-late May return is possible.
Ronald Acuña Jr. (RF)
Injury: Torn ACL (left knee)
Update: Acuña is still working on strengthening his quad muscles and hasn’t started a rehab assignment yet. A return in early May seems unlikely, but he could be back by late May if progress continues.
Nacho Alvarez Jr. (INF)
Injury: Left wrist inflammation
Update: Started the season on the 10-day IL, but was moved to the 60-day IL on April 23. He remains in Florida rehabbing. A May return is still possible.
Reynaldo López (RHP)
Injury: Right shoulder inflammation
Update: Underwent arthroscopic surgery on April 8, which revealed no structural damage. He’s been shut down for 12 weeks and will be re-evaluated afterward. There’s still hope he could return sometime this season.
Joe Jiménez (RHP)
Injury: Left knee surgery
Update: Sidelined after surgery to repair major cartilage damage. He won’t return before August, and missing the entire 2025 season is still a possibility.
