Ohtani Exits Dodgers Game with Left Knee Inflammation, Dodgers Await Update

Shohei Ohtani left the Dodgers’ game vs. the Pirates in the seventh inning with left knee inflammation after going 2-for-2 with a home run and four plate appearances; the cause/timing aren’t disclosed. Earlier, Dodgers pitcher Justin Wrobleski left in the fifth with a right hamstring contusion. Manager Dave Roberts will provide an update, and the team hopes the removal was precautionary as Ohtani continues to contribute heavily at the plate and on the mound; the Dodgers head to Chicago for a White Sox series.

Grisham's patient at-bat keys Yankees' Cleveland sweep

New York completed a sweep of Cleveland on the back of a pivotal sixth inning sparked by Trent Grisham’s patient at-bat and a two-out rally that followed Jazz Chisholm Jr.'s early big hit; Carlos Rodón logged six solid innings, and late defense sealed the win as the Yankees stayed in pace with the Rays before an off day and a series against the Blue Jays.

Defector writer Ray Ratto derides the A’s–Brewers Las Vegas matchup as a loud, chaotic showcase that exposes premature hype around Jacob Misiorowski; the 14-14 spectacle featured questionable calls and miscues, and Misiorowski won’t pitch in Vegas again until his next start on Friday, tempering the buzz.

Angels Lose Kochanowicz to Tommy John, Out Through 2027

Angels right-hander Jack Kochanowicz will undergo Tommy John surgery and miss the rest of 2026 and likely the second half of 2027, moving to the 60-day IL when a roster spot is needed. He has logged 240 1/3 MLB innings over three seasons with a 5.88 ERA and a 54.6% ground-ball rate, and his absence further weakens an Angels rotation already hampered by injuries as Soriano, Detmers, Ureña and Rodriguez start, with Kikuchi sidelined. The club may explore internal options or additions to fill the gap.

Vegas slugfest, Cease's return, and Mancini's Angels debut

Nationals rally from a ninth-inning deficit to beat the Giants; in Las Vegas, the Brewers and Athletics combined for a 15–14, 12-inning slugfest with 11 homers. Shea Langeliers hit the longest homer of the season, and late rallies from William Contreras and Jonah Heim helped Milwaukee hold on. Dylan Cease is slated to return for the Blue Jays after a hamstring injury, likely giving Toronto a broader workload soon. Trey Mancini made a quick impact in his Angels debut, driving in a run on his first at-bat and collecting additional hits, as he may share time at first base/DH with Nolan Schanuel sidelined.
