Here’s a running list of injury updates around the Major Leagues:

– Dodgers righty Jon Garland threw yesterday for the first time since he was placed on the Disabled List, but he’s still unsure when he will return and admitted he’s worried if his season and possibly career could be over reports A.J. Cassavell and Ken Gurnick of MLB.com.

“That’s the natural tendency,” Garland said. “It’s my livelihood. I’ve depended on my arm for quite a long time and the first thought is, ‘Is this it?’ I just have to stay positive and hope I get back.”

“The inflammation kept building,” he said. “It’s been there, probably my whole career. The wear and tear over the years, it get to the point where the body tries to compensate, and with everything else, it’s taken its toll. I had never had a severe injury. But with every throw, every pitch I was feeling something. The last few outings, it wasn’t fun for me.”

– The San Diego Padres have placed Brad Hawpe on the Disabled List with a stained left middle finger according to Aaron Gleeman of NBCSports.com.

– Hunter Pence, who has been out since last Friday with a sprained left elbow, will probably be out until next Friday according to Brian McTaggart of MLB.com.

– The Houston Astros have confirmed that Brandon Lyon is going to need season-ending surgery reports Drew Silva of NBCSports.com. Alyson Footer, the Astros’ director of social media, said the procedure will be performed next Thursday by Dr. James Andrews.

– Ike Davis might need season-ending surgery in three weeks if his ankle doesn’t improve by then reports Adam Rubin of ESPNNewYork.com.
