Injury Report

The Reds will be without Hunter Greene for at least the 2026 season after he undergoes UCL surgery on a partially torn ligament. Rangers right-hander Nathan Eovaldi landed on the 15-day IL with elbow inflammation. The Giants placed Matt Chapman on the IL for season‑ending abdominal surgery; the 33‑year‑old had seven home runs and 42 RBIs in 84 games. Blue Jays right‑hander Jameson Taillon left his first home start after four scoreless innings due to right forearm discomfort and will undergo an MRI. The Mets placed reliever Devin Williams on the 15‑day IL with a right shoulder strain, though interim manager Andy Green said it is not expected to be long‑term. The Rays put Griffin Jax on the IL with right elbow discomfort. The Brewers placed shortstop Cooper Pratt on the IL with a strained right hamstring, testing their infield depth as NL Central leaders. Marlins first baseman Kyle Stowers left Sunday’s 12‑3 win with a left hamstring tweak and will undergo further evaluation. The Phillies placed Caleb Kilian on the 15‑day IL with a left oblique strain.

Roster Moves & Transactions

The Red Sox are set to activate newly acquired catcher Adley Rutschman from the injured list on Tuesday. The Diamondbacks welcomed Soroka and Littell to their pitching staff, with Soroka returning from the IL and Littell signing a one‑year contract. The Padres signed outfielder Austin Hays on Sunday, and he homered in his first at‑bat for the club. Two‑time All‑Star shortstop Tim Anderson announced his retirement after 10 major league seasons, including a 2019 batting title.

Game Highlights & Milestones

A bizarre play caused a 16-minute delay in the Red Sox–Blue Jays game in Toronto on Monday night, ultimately producing a belated Red Sox run in Boston’s 2‑1 loss. Braves ace Chris Sale was ejected by umpire Dan Merzel before throwing a pitch in Sunday’s 2‑1 win over the Yankees, still fuming over a balk call from the day before. Athletics shortstop Jacob Wilson, set an MLB record for his position with his 111th consecutive errorless game, surpassing Mike Bordick.

Off-Field News

U.S. Sen. Richard Blumenthal and two House representatives urged MLB and the MLBPA to prohibit promotional deals with betting operators, specifically citing a personalized greeting video featuring Phillies star Bryce Harper as an example of problematic content.

Fantasy & Playoff Outlook

For fantasy managers, a trio of waiver‑worthy prospects debuted this week and are worth a claim on the fantasy baseball waiver wire. As the playoff races heat up, several injured stars — profiled as potential difference‑makers — could prove as valuable as any trade‑deadline addition when they return; a full list of returning players to monitor is now available.
