Injury Report

The MLB injury list continues to swell as multiple key players head to the sidelines. Matt Chapman will undergo season-ending abdominal surgery on Tuesday, leaving the Giants without their veteran third baseman. Hunter Greene of the Reds is also done for the year after opting for season-ending UCL surgery following a second opinion on a partially torn ligament. The Rangers placed Nathan Eovaldi on the 15-day IL with elbow inflammation. Blue Jays right-hander Jameson Taillon will have an MRI on his right forearm after exiting his first home start in Toronto early. The Phillies placed Caleb Kilian on the 15-day IL with a left oblique strain. Mets reliever Devin Williams landed on the IL with a right shoulder strain, though interim manager Andy Green does not expect a long-term absence. The Rays also put Griffin Jax on the 15-day IL with right elbow discomfort.

Game Recaps and Highlights

The Dodgers rallied to a 6-5 come-from-behind victory Monday night as Skubal struggled in his Dodger Stadium debut, allowing the offense to answer manager Dave Roberts' pregame challenge. A chaotic moment in Toronto led to a 16-minute delay after a bizarre inning-ending double play, which produced a belated Red Sox run during Boston's 2-1 loss to the Blue Jays. In a rookie miscue, Mets pitcher Kodai Senga was aghast after Benge lost the ball — teammate Carson Benge tossed Senga's first career save ball into the crowd.

Roster Moves and Returns

The Red Sox are set to activate newly acquired catcher Adley Rutschman on Tuesday. The Diamondbacks welcomed Michael Soroka and Zack Littell to their pitching staff, with Soroka returning from the IL and Littell signing a one-year contract. In a notable departure, shortstop Tim Anderson, a two-time All-Star and former batting champion, retired after 10 major league seasons. Meanwhile, an MLB record was set by Athletics shortstop Jacob Wilson, who played his 111th consecutive errorless game, passing Mike Bordick. several injured stars expected to return could prove as valuable as any trade deadline pickup — the list of returning players may swing playoff races.
