MLB Injury Report & Roster News

Major League Baseball saw several key players scratched or injured Tuesday night, raising concerns for their respective clubs. Chicago Cubs pitcher Edward Cabrera was carted off with a left leg injury while stretching for a throw at first base against the New York Mets. Cubs manager Craig Counsell also expressed frustration after the team's second consecutive rainout in New York left them idle. The Mets themselves faced a blow as slugger Juan Soto exited their game against the Rockies with back tightness after just four innings. In Philadelphia, home run leader Kyle Schwarber was a late scratch due to lower back tightness before the Phillies' matchup with the Washington Nationals. Nationals shortstop CJ Abrams was also sidelined with left side tightness.

Pitching Staff Updates

The Kansas City Royals are likely to lose pitcher Cole Ragans for an extended period, as manager Matt Quatraro indicated the lefty is expected to undergo surgery to address a left elbow impingement that has kept him sidelined since early May. Meanwhile, Minnesota Twins General Manager responded to trade speculation surrounding their star outfielder, stating there are "no plans" to deal Byron Buxton.

Player Apologies & Misunderstandings

San Francisco Giants first baseman Rafael Devers addressed an incident from Sunday's game against Miami, apologizing to manager Tony Vitello and characterizing the situation at first base as a "misunderstanding" that he felt was being amplified.
