The Toronto Blue Jays placed right-hander Dylan Cease on the 15-day injured list with a mild left hamstring strain, his first true IL stint. Cease had been solid this season (11 starts, 62 innings, 3.05 ERA) and the rotation will rely on Kevin Gausman to front the staff while Cease is out, as Toronto navigates a slew of rotation injuries and uncertainty.
San Francisco called up outfielder Victor Bericoto from Triple-A Sacramento as Jung Hoo Lee landed on the 10-day injured list retroactive to May 19 with a mid-back strain; Will Brennan could take more right-field duty while Lee is out. Bericoto, 24, is batting .299/.355/.449 with six homers in 186 plate appearances for Sacramento and has shown defensive versatility across the outfield and first base.
Colorado placed outfielder Mickey Moniak on the 10-day injured list with right ankle tendinitis after colliding with a wall, promoting Sterlin Thompson from Triple-A to take his roster spot. Moniak had already missed time with a finger sprain and has slumped recently, but he remains a key power source (.280/.335/.607 with 12 HR in 164 PAs). Thompson will provide outfield depth as Colorado copes with injuries to Moniak and Brenton Doyle.
The Cubs promoted top prospect Pedro Ramirez for his MLB debut while Matt Shaw was placed on the 10-day injured list with back tightness (retroactive to May 20). Ramirez, 22, is tearing through Triple-A with a .312/.395/.547 line and can handle second or third base, offering the Cubs infield flexibility as they navigate a crowded roster and Shaw’s absence could provide opportunities for the rookie.
The Houston Astros placed second baseman Jose Altuve on the injured list with a Grade 2 oblique strain after he left Saturday’s game; he homered off Jacob deGrom but was sidelined on Sunday. At 36, Altuve has been roughly league-average in 42 games after a hot start, and his defensive metrics have declined. With Pena (hamstring) and Correa (ankle) also out, Houston’s infield depth is thin, with players like Braden Shewmake, Nick Allen, and Brice Matthews in the mix for fill-ins. Jake Meyers is nearing a return from an oblique injury, which could help offset Altuve’s loss, and he’s expected to travel with the team for a series in Minnesota as the club assesses its options.
Detroit activated reliever Will Vest from the 15-day IL and placed Ty Madden on the 15-day IL with a right forearm contusion; Vest’s return comes as Madden’s stint is driven by roster constraints, with Vest posting solid peripherals despite a rough 6.17 ERA in 2026 and Madden showing strong per-inning numbers this season.
The Pirates placed Ryan O'Hearn on the 10-day injured list with a right quad strain after an awkward move chasing a foul ball in Tuesday's 6-0 loss to the Phillies; Jake Mangum is activated to take his spot on the 26-man roster. O'Hearn has been productive this season (.289/.368/.459 with seven homers in 182 plate appearances, 132 wRC+) and will be out as Triolo, Yorke, or Billy Cook handle right field and first base. An MRI confirmed the strain, and Mangum's return from a short IL stint should help fill the void while O'Hearn is out. Triple-A outfielder Jhostynxon Garcia remains waiting for a call-up.
The San Francisco Giants placed outfielder Heliot Ramos on the 10-day injured list with a right quad strain after a sliding catch attempt in yesterday’s loss to the Athletics. Erik Miller was activated from rehab, Tristan Beck was optioned to Triple-A, and Will Brennan was recalled. Ramos’s MRI results will determine his timeline, with projections ranging from a couple of weeks to several months. In Ramos’s absence, Casey Schmitt started in left and, with his 129 wRC+, is part of the left-field mix as the team weighs additional options (Gilbert, Rodriguez, Brennan) to fill the gap.
The Boston Red Sox placed shortstop Trevor Story on the 10-day injured list with a sports hernia and recalled Nick Sogard from Triple-A Worcester to fill his roster. Story has struggled this season at the plate (.206) and in the field, prompting infield reshuffling that could include Marcelo Mayer moving to short or Andruw Monasterio absorbing more time at the position, while Sogard provides infield depth as the Sox prepare for an interleague game against the Braves in Atlanta.
Dodgers left-hander Blake Snell was placed on the 15-day injured list with loose bodies in his left elbow after feeling discomfort while playing catch; surgery is likely and the timeline is unclear, potentially yielding a late July/early August return. The setback complicates a rotation already thin with Tyler Glasnow out, prompting the Dodgers to recall Charlie Barnes and consider bullpen days or a six-man rotation while they decide on next steps.
Yankees left-hander Max Fried was placed on the 15-day injured list with a left elbow bone bruise after MRI/CT results; the ligament looks good and no surgery is anticipated, but the timeline is uncertain and he’s out for at least a month pending repeat imaging. Elmer Rodríguez is expected to take Fried’s rotation spot for now, as the Yankees lean on depth with Cole returning from Tommy John rehab and other young pitchers in the mix; Fried emphasized the priority is his long-term health and a careful return.
The Dodgers placed left-hander Blake Snell back on the injured list with loose bodies in his throwing elbow, backdated to May 12, after a brief return from the IL in which he faced limited action. Charlie Barnes was recalled in a corresponding move. Snell had been activated May 9 following a shoulder fatigue stint and completed brief rehab starts before a late elbow issue was identified; there is no immediate surgery plan, though he previously had elbow surgery in 2019, and a return is expected before season’s end with timing still uncertain.
The Seattle Mariners placed catcher Cal Raleigh on the 10-day injured list with an oblique strain, recalled Jhonny Pereda and optioned Jose A. Ferrer; with no timetable for Raleigh’s return, Seattle will split catching duties between Mitch Garver and Pereda as Raleigh recovers.
The New York Mets placed catcher Francisco Alvarez on the 10-day injured list with a torn right knee meniscus after an MRI confirmed the injury; Hayden Senger was recalled and will split catching duties with Luis Torrens while Alvarez is out, a setback for a lineup already battered by injuries as Alvarez had been hitting .241/.317/.393 this season.
The New York Yankees placed José Caballero on the 10-day injured list with a finger injury and recalled Anthony Volpe to take over at shortstop; Volpe is returning to the majors after rehab, and Caballero’s strong play earned him the regular role, with the IL move potentially reshaping Volpe’s playing time and his service-time clock going forward.
