Injuries Prompt Roster Shuffles Severino exited after just one inning with right‑arm soreness, forcing the Athletics to tap a bullpen arm for the Yankees series finale. A similar mid‑game loss occurred when Murakami left in the third inning with right‑hamstring tightness, prompting Chicago to rely on a bench‑depth infielder against Detroit. Seattle’s Raleigh took swings in a rehab session following a right oblique strain that landed him on the injured list on May 14, signaling the Mariners’ intent to accelerate his return.

West Coast Bench Overhauls The Dodgers responded to injuries to outfielder Teoscar Hernández and utility man Kiké Hernández by retooling the bench, adding versatile depth and a left‑handed pinch‑hitter to preserve lineup flexibility. Meanwhile, Philadelphia placed ace Aaron Nola on the paternity list ahead of the Dodgers series and recalled Hoffman to fill the rotation vacancy, a move that reshapes the Phillies’ starting staff for the next three games.

Rotation Realignments in the East New York’s Mets demoted former All‑Star David Peterson to the bullpen and installed Manaea as his rotation replacement, a decision aimed at stabilizing a staff that had posted a sub‑3.50 ERA over the past two weeks. Boston, confronting a similar need for depth, promoted a left‑handed reliever to start after a rain‑out, reflecting a broader trend of teams reshuffling arms to address fatigue and injuries.

Coaching and Development Moves San Francisco reassigned third‑base coach Hector Borg to a player‑development role and named Wotus interim, a shift that could influence in‑game strategy as the Giants chase a wild‑card berth. In the collegiate pipeline, ESPN’s latest ranking identified schools with the most draft‑eligible pros as the College World Series approaches, while the McDaniel mock draft projected several of those players among the top 40 selections for 2026, underscoring the growing impact of college talent on next year’s draft class.
