Mid‑Season Injuries

The Tigers lost outfielder Wenceel Perez to a freak training‑room mishap when a resistance band struck his face, ending his season early and leaving the roster without a left‑hander in the outfield. Meanwhile, the Blue Jays have dropped Max Scherzer to the 10‑day injured list after back spasms, a move that will strain Toronto’s pitching depth as they chase a playoff berth.

Roster Adjustments

Philadelphia’s Andrew Painter was optioned to Triple‑A after a rough outing that saw him surrender multiple runs, a decision that signals a shift in the Phillies’ right‑hander rotation strategy. Cleveland’s Chase DeLauter, whose fractured rib cut his offensive production, also joined the 10‑day injured list, leaving the Guardians without a reliable right‑hander in the outfield.
