-
Multiple outlets note a calf issue kept him from a Grapefruit League game, with managers indicating he’d resume his regular role after the setback. This suggests the injury is not currently expected to cause a long absence, but teams typically monitor any calf tightness closely in spring training. [CBS Sports summary of May 13, 2026 update; also echoed in discussions from MLB.com coverage cited by other outlets.]
-
Earlier in 2026, reports through MLB coverage and affiliate outlets tracked a back-related issue that placed him on the injured list, with some updates suggesting he was progressing toward a return in June. The timeline for return appeared variable, reflecting typical bullpen and roster considerations for a versatile infielder. [NBC Sports overview (June 28, 2025) and RotoWire updates (May–June 2026) corroborate this theme.]
-
In spring action, he showed speed and bat-to-ball skills in limited spring at-bats before the calf issue arose, with notes on his performance trending positively when healthy. [Heavy.com spring recap referenced in March 2026 coverage; CBS Sports’ May 2026 recap notes align with ongoing evaluation of his health.]
