Injury Updates The Seattle Mariners lost first baseman Josh Naylor to day‑to‑day status after he departed Monday’s win against the Mets with back spasms following a seventh‑inning homer, leaving the lineup without a right‑hand power bat reported by the club. A day later, the San Francisco Giants placed reliever Joel Peguero on the 60‑day injured list because of a left hamstring strain and simultaneously designated outfielder Jeff Porter for assignment, prompting the promotion of Wilkin Ramos and Buddy Kennedy from Triple‑A to fill the roster holes noted in the move. In Toronto, outfielder Jesus Sánchez exited Sunday’s game after a fan‑thrown ball struck his wrist, adding another injury concern for a team already battling a sub‑.500 record confirmed by the club. Meanwhile, Cincinnati’s shortstop Elly De La Cruz was placed on the injured list with a right hamstring strain, with medical staff projecting a 2‑4‑week recovery window that could sideline him through the first half of the upcoming series stated by the Reds.
