Larnach will undergo arthroscopic surgery on his left wrist Friday, Dan Hayes of The Athletic reports.

Larnach's 2026 season ended in mid-September when he landed on the injured list with the wrist issue. After it flared up on him again when he began his offseason hitting program, Larnach opted for the cleanup procedure. More will be known about his status following the surgery, but Larnach is expected to be ready for the start of spring trianing. He slashed .269/.352/.436 with 13 home runs in 433 plate appearances for the Twins this season and is slated to reach free agency next winter.

Yankees general manager Brian Cashman said Tuesday that Judge is "currently in a good place" after a follow-up exam with Dr. Gregory Pearl to review the healing of his right rib fracture, Bryan Hoch of MLB.com reports.

Judge missed more than three months during the season with the rib fracture, prior to a calf strain ending his campaign. Neither injury is expected to linger for Judge, who will head into spring training fully healthy, barring setbacks. The three-time MVP slashed .241/.360/.511 with 18 home runs over 66 regular-season games for the Yankees in 2026.

Anthony (finger) will be re-evaluated in a couple weeks, at which point he's likely to begin a range-of-motion and strengthening program, Jen McCaffrey of The Athletic reports.

Anthony is still working his way back from a torn ligament in his right ring finger, an injury he first suffered in May before aggravating in September. The current expectation is that Anthony does not need surgery to repair the injury, though it's possible that changes if he doesn't progress as hoped. Anthony collected a .245/.339/.396 batting line with five home runs in 55 contests for the Red Sox in 2026.

Gomez is slashing .300/.378/.425 with four stolen bases and a 4:9 BB:K over his first 11 games in the Arizona Fall League.

Gomez -- who doesn't turn 18 until December -- is the second-youngest player to ever play in the AFL, and he's the youngest ever to be named to the AFL Fall Stars Game. Signed out of Venezuela for $2.9 million in January, Gomez dazzled in his pro debut in the Dominican Summer League, hitting .361/.467/.653 with nine home runs, 15 steals and a 28:19 BB:K. He's a long way from the big leagues, but Gomez has quickly established himself as one of the best young outfield prospects in baseball.

The Blue Jays re-signed Martin to a minor-league contract Thursday, Ari Alexander of 7 News Boston reports.

Martin elected free agency earlier this week after being removed from the Blue Jays' 40-man roster, but he's found his way back into the organization and has been invited to spring training as a non-roster invitee. The speedy Martin reached the majors for the first time this season, going hitless in three plate appearances.

The Tigers activated Meadows (arm) from the 60-day injured list Monday.

Meadows was close to returning at the end of the season, but there wasn't enough time left for him to make it back after he began a hitting progression in September. He should be in store for a mostly normal offseason after suffering a radial fracture in his left forearm back in April.

The Tigers activated Carpenter (foot) from the 60-day injured list Monday.

Carpenter missed the final 56 games of the season with plantar fasciitis in his left foot. He also spent time on the injured list earlier in the season with a shoulder injury. Carpenter appeared in just 81 games last season and slashed an abysmal .208/.276/.416 with 13 home runs, 36 RBI, 27 runs scored and an 18:75 BB:K across 259 plate appearances. The .692 OPS was the lowest single-season mark of Carpenter's career.

The Rays selected Suwinski's contract from Triple-A Durham on Monday.

Suwinski was acquired from the Dodgers in exchange for Hunter Feduccia and Jacob Kmatz at the trade deadline in August. In 37 games with Triple-A Durham, Suwinski slashed .231/.296/.300 with one home run, 14 RBI, 12 runs scored, six stolen bases and an 11:38 BB:K across 143 plate appearances. He'll compete for a role with the big-league club during spring training.

The Rangers outrighted Helman to Triple-A Round Rock on Monday.

He's lost his spot on the 40-man roster but will remain in the organization as utility depth. Helman has slashed .217/.277/.419 in limited duty with the Rangers over the past two seasons.

Rangers president of baseball operations Chris Young said Monday that Carter will not be ready for Opening Day next season after undergoing arthroscopic surgery on his right hip last week to address a labral injury and a hip impingement, Kennedi Landry of MLB.com reports.

Per Shawn McFarland of The Dallas Morning News, Young added of Carter that the Rangers "expect him to play" most of next season, though it's uncertain how long exactly he'll be out. It's also unclear how long Carter has had the hip issue or if it's related to his chronic back problems. The 24-year-old outfielder slashed .194/.288/.315 with nine home runs and 17 stolen bases over 141 games for the Rangers this season.
