MLB Transactions and Injury Report

The Chicago Cubs are bolstering their pitching staff by acquiring LHP David Peterson from the New York Mets. This move comes as the Cubs are dealing with mounting injuries, placing right-handers Ben Brown and Edward Cabrera on the 15-day injured list with unspecified ailments. Meanwhile, the New York Yankees have placed infielder Ryan McMahon on the 10-day injured list due to a throat infection, recalling Oswaldo Cabrera from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre. In Minnesota, right-hander Mick Abel has been recommended for arthroscopic elbow surgery following a recent setback in his recovery, with his return timetable to be determined post-operation as he faces a significant recovery period. Pittsburgh Pirates first baseman Spencer Horwitz exited early Wednesday with discomfort in his left hamstring, adding another name to the league's growing injury concerns as he deals with a hamstring issue.

Player Milestones and Performances

In a notable offensive display, Cubs infielder Dansby Swanson drove in 11 RBI during the team's doubleheader sweep of the Mets, breaking the franchise record for RBIs in a twin bill previously held by Ron Santo. On the mound, Los Angeles Dodgers star Shohei Ohtani secured a win despite an uncharacteristic rough second inning where he and catcher Dalton Rushing appeared "out of sync." This outing marks a rebound for Ohtani, who is navigating the challenges of being a two-way player. fantasy managers are considering potential future milestones, with projections suggesting a player like Wyatt Langford could reach 40 home runs.
