Padres Bench Casey Mize for Postseason After Ankle Injury Ends Regular Season

The San Diego Padres placed right-hander Casey Mize on the 15-day injured list due to a sprained right ankle, effectively ending his 2026 season. Mize, acquired from Detroit at the trade deadline, struggled significantly after injuring his ankle in August, posting a 7.46 ERA in 10 starts. The move clears the way for the Padres to finalize their postseason roster, with Griffin Canning recalled to bolster the bullpen. San Diego has clinched a playoff spot but missed out on home-field advantage in the Wild Card Series after losing to the Diamondbacks.

Swanson Back in Cubs Fold as Báez’s Season Closes and Verlander Eyes Farewell

The Cubs reinstated Dansby Swanson from the 10-day IL after an oblique strain, with his return aiding a 6-4 loss to the Reds as he posts solid defense and a .217/.302/.404 line with 18 HR and 17 steals this year. Cardinals top prospect Joshua Báez ends his season after landing on the 10-day IL with a left oblique strain, having hit .230/.278/.510 with 7 HR in 108 PA. Justin Verlander, who is retiring after the season, continues rehab with a 20-pitch live BP as he recovers from hip/hamstring issues. Tigers right-hander Jack Flaherty also hopes to return from IL shortly. Twins outfielder Trevor Larnach goes on the 10-day IL with a left wrist sprain; if he finishes 2026, he’s on pace for a career-best 123 wRC+ with .269/.352/.436 and 13 HR across 433 PA. The saga includes a near-trade of Larnach to Houston for Bryan Abreu, blocked by Astros owner Jim Crane.

Reds Claim Cabrera Off Waivers, Bolstering Bench Depth

The Cincinnati Reds claimed Oswaldo Cabrera off waivers from the Yankees, adding a versatile 27-year-old who can back up multiple positions and be used at the big league level or in Triple-A. Cincinnati opened a 40-man spot by placing Spencer Steer on the 60-day injured list, recalled Julian Aguiar, and placed Julian Garcia on the 15-day IL with elbow loose bodies. Cabrera, a 2022 MLB veteran with a .233/.291/.352 career line and 81 wRC+, spent much of 2025-26 in the minors after a left ankle fracture, and could be kept near this year’s arbitration-salary level around $1.2 million next year; Garcia is slated for elbow surgery with a hoped-for return in 2027.

The Philadelphia Phillies placed left-hander Jesús Luzardo on the 15-day injured list with left shoulder inflammation retroactive to September 12 after stiffness sidelined him; MRI found no structural damage, but his return timeline is uncertain, leaving Philadelphia to adjust their rotation as they chase a tight playoff race and potentially lean on Painter or Nola if Luzardo misses time.

Braves Put Lane Thomas on IL, Call Up DaShawn Keirsey Jr.

The Atlanta Braves placed outfielder Lane Thomas on the injured list with an intercostal strain suffered during batting practice ahead of Thursday’s game vs. the Rays. DaShawn Keirsey Jr. was recalled to take his spot, with Brewer Hicklen starting in left field in Thomas’s absence. Thomas has slashed .171 with one homer in 21 Braves games since the trade‑deadline deal, and Atlanta could lean on Mike Yastrzemski in left against righties while Mauricio Dubon handles more left field vs. southpaws as Keirsey provides depth; Keirsey has 109 Triple-A games with Gwinnett and 40 stolen bases in his pro career, plus prior MLB experience with the Twins.

Yankees place Jazz Chisholm Jr. on IL with thumb sprain; Caballero to start at 2B

The Yankees placed Jazz Chisholm Jr. on the injured list with a thumb sprain after a slide into second, with no baseball activity for 7–10 days and a chance he misses the remainder of the regular season or the playoffs. Jose Caballero starts at second base in his absence; Chisholm has 19 homers and 40 steals this season and is hitting .232/.312/.403 over 520 PA, while Caballero provides a similar production pace but is a better defender at second. With 18 games left, the shift could impact lineup plans around Volpe’s status in the minors and the Yankees’ late-season push.

Red Sox Lose All-Star Rafaela to 10-Day IL During Crucial September Push

The Red Sox placed breakout center fielder Ceddanne Rafaela on the 10-day injured list with a right quadriceps strain retroactive to Sept. 3, forcing Nate Eaton to be recalled and testing Boston’s outfield depth as they chase a postseason spot; Rafaela, who batted .289 with 16 homers, 66 RBIs and 17 steals this season, was a major contributor on both offense and defense, and his absence means White and other outfielders must fill the gap while he recovers, with a potential return around Sept. 13 depending on progress.

Yankees Put Grisham on 10-Day IL, Dominguez Won’t Wait to Join the Outfield

The New York Yankees placed center fielder Trent Grisham on the 10-day IL with a right hamstring strain and recalled Jasson Dominguez. Grisham exited yesterday’s game with hamstring discomfort, and Spencer Jones moved from RF to CF with Heliot Ramos taking over in RF. Jones and Cody Bellinger are expected to handle most center-field duties while Grisham is out, though Bellinger has mainly played left field since his prior hamstring stint. Aaron Judge took BP and could be back in the lineup by week’s end, which would bolster outfield depth. Grisham is batting .211/.308/.395 with 18 homers this season, and a lingering hamstring issue could affect his playoff availability, especially if it recurs.

Blue Jays' Taillon Headed to IL Amid Elbow Discomfort After Brief Return

Blue Jays pitcher Jameson Taillon, just activated after forearm-related issues, exited his start with right elbow discomfort and is likely headed to the injured list pending MRI results. Taillon has a history of forearm tendinitis and Tommy John surgery, and his 2026 season has been rocky; Toronto’s rotation depth would take a hit as they chase an AL Wild Card, with options like Scherzer or Arrighetti potentially stepping in if he misses time.

Sox Put Willson Contreras on IL, Gasper Recalled to Help Fill Gap

The Boston Red Sox placed first baseman Willson Contreras on the 10-day injured list with a left hamstring strain, recalling catcher/infielder Mickey Gasper from Triple-A Worcester to fill the roster spot. Contreras had been touching hamstring tightness and was pulled from a game recently, with the team opting for at least 10 days of rest to allow healing ahead of October. He has been the Sox’s best hitter this season (26 HR, .274/.384/.516, 150 wRC+), and Boston currently sits in a strong position in the AL Wild Card race. Gasper is slated to start at first base tonight with Connor Wong catching, while other internal options like Nick Sogard and Andruw Monasterio could see time at first if needed.

Soto Activated as Mets Bring Star Back from IL

The Mets activated Juan Soto from the 10-day injured list after a left calf strain, returning after about a month. Infielder Eric Wagaman was optioned to Triple-A in the corresponding move. Soto is expected to primarily serve as the designated hitter to protect his legs in the final month, and he remains a standout producer (/.283/.408/.539 with 21 homers across 359 plate appearances) as New York eyes the rest of the season.

Sasaki had been 2.31 ERA with a 24% strikeout rate since the All-Star Break.

Winn Goes on IL with Left-Thumb Fracture as Gorman Returns to Cardinals

The St. Louis Cardinals placed shortstop Masyn Winn on the 10-day injured list with a left-thumb fracture (backdated to Aug. 22) after he aggravated the issue on a slide; an MRI result is still pending and a return around early September is possible. Nolan Gorman was recalled from Triple-A Memphis to fill Winn’s roster spot, marking his first return to St. Louis in over two months. Winn has been strong defensively this season but the bat has slumped, while Gorman has struggled in Memphis and will look to contribute as the team navigates Winn’s absence.
