• Injury update: Zach Pop was on the Phillies’ 15-day injured list with a right calf strain and began a rehab assignment in the minors as part of his return process. He’s expected to need several rehab outings before being reinstated. This is the most consistent thread across recent outlets [source coverage cited below].

• Return timeline: Teams and broadcasters have indicated a cautious path back from the calf strain, with activation likely after a few successful rehab appearances, though exact dates can shift with his rehab progress [sources below].

• Performance context: When healthy, Pop has been used primarily as a middle-relief option. His 2026 usage and surrounding roster moves have been influenced by the Phillies’ bullpen needs and deeper pitching depth [source coverage cited below].
