The injury bug continues to bite across MLB. Blue Jays right-hander Trey Yesavage underwent surgery to repair his left meniscus, though the team hasn't ruled him out for the season. Fellow Jays pitcher Jameson Taillon left his first home start after four scoreless innings due to right forearm discomfort and will have an MRI. The Marlins placed first baseman/outfielder Kyle Stowers on the 10-day IL with a left hamstring strain. Giants third baseman Matt Chapman will undergo season-ending abdominal surgery Tuesday. Reds right-hander Hunter Greene is out for the season and likely into 2026 after UCL surgery. Rangers righty Nathan Eovaldi landed on the 15-day IL with elbow inflammation. Diamondbacks shortstop Geraldo Perdomo exited early with left knee soreness, but manager Torey Lovullo doesn't believe it's serious. The Mets placed reliever Devin Williams on the 15-day IL with a right shoulder strain, though it's not expected to be long-term. The Rays put right-hander Griffin Jax on the IL due to right elbow discomfort. Phillies reliever Caleb Kilian was placed on the 15-day IL with a left oblique strain.
