Injury Woes Across League

Multiple clubs dealt with injury setbacks as Athletics right-hander Luis Severino exited his start against the Yankees after just one inning due to right arm soreness, while White Sox first baseman Munetaka Murakami left Friday's game against the Tigers in the third inning with right hamstring tightness. The Tigers further depleted their rotation by placing starter Casey Mize on the IL with right adductor inflammation, and Marlins pitcher Eury Pérez is expected to miss approximately two months with a leg injury sustained while stretching in the dugout. On a brighter note, Rays second baseman Ben Williamson has come off the injured list after missing two weeks with a lower back strain.

Roster Adjustments

Teams scrambled to adjust their rosters amid injuries and other developments, as the Dodgers remade their bench following injuries to starting outfielder Teoscar Hernández and utility man Kiké Hernández. The Mets demoted David Peterson, an All-Star in 2025, to the bullpen and replaced him in the rotation with Sean Manaea, while the Phillies placed starter Aaron Nola on the paternity list ahead of their three-game set against the Dodgers. In coaching moves, the Giants reassigned third base coach Hector Borg to a new role within their player development staff, and the Cardinals called up catcher Jimmy Crooks from Triple-A to serve as Ivan Herrera's backup with plans for significant playing time.

Draft & College Baseball

As college baseball regionals begin, experts ranked the college teams with the most MLB draft prospects, highlighting which schools are loaded with stars poised for professional careers. This comes as teams begin evaluating the 2026 MLB draft class, with mock drafts projecting the first 40 picks and identifying prospects rising up team draft boards as the amateur talent pool takes shape for next year's draft.

Player Recovery

Seattle Mariners catcher Cal Raleigh, who was placed on the injured list May 14 with a right oblique strain, took his first swings since aggravating the injury to his right side, marking a positive step in his rehabilitation process as the team awaits his return to the lineup.
