MLB Injury Report & Roster Moves

The Chicago Cubs are facing pitching depth concerns after placing right-handers Ben Brown and Edward Cabrera on the 15-day injured list. Cabrera's placement follows a frightening incident where he was carted off the field with a leg injury while stretching for a throw. In Minnesota, the Twins announced that right-handed pitcher Mick Abel will undergo arthroscopic elbow surgery, with his return timeline to be determined post-procedure. The New York Yankees moved infielder Ryan McMahon to the 10-day injured list due to a throat infection, recalling Oswaldo Cabrera from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre to fill the roster spot.

Player Health & League Notes

Oakland Athletics infielder Zack Gelof exited Tuesday's game after his hand was spiked by a cleat during a tag play, with the severity of the injury yet to be fully disclosed. The Pittsburgh Pirates saw first baseman Spencer Horwitz leave Wednesday's contest in the fourth inning with left hamstring discomfort. Meanwhile, Mets manager Carlos Mendoza indicated that right-hander Kodai Senga has been moved to the bullpen after a period of struggles, and the team is evaluating the possibility of placing left fielder Juan Soto on the injured list. In a league-wide observation, left-handed hitters are experiencing a particularly strong offensive season in 2026, with the new automated ball-strike system potentially contributing to their success according to analyst analysis.

Front Office & Player Discipline

The St. Louis Cardinals have elevated Bill DeWitt III to the role of chief executive officer, a promotion following his tenure as team president since 2008. On the disciplinary front, Brewers reliever Abner Uribe is slated to serve his one-game suspension this Wednesday, nearly a month after the penalty was initially handed down by Major League Baseball. The league continues to scrutinize player performance, with one analyst pointing out a quartet of "criminally underrated players" who deserve greater recognition and should be added to more rosters as scouting insights suggest.
