New York Mets first baseman Jared Young suffered a severe head injury during a collision with pitcher Nolan McLean on September 17, 2026.

The incident ends his season, but medical updates suggest he avoided catastrophic outcomes.
Adley Rutschman missed his third consecutive game for the Boston Red Sox on Wednesday due to a right elbow issue, delaying his scheduled return to Baltimore on Thursday. Interim manager Chad Tracy indicated the injury is improving but not yet resolved, with Rutschman practicing catch to test his throwing arm. The catcher, who has struggled with a .170 batting average since joining Boston, faces uncertainty regarding his availability for the remainder of the season.

Brandon Woodruff will undergo capsule surgery on his throwing shoulder, ending his 2026 season and likely delaying his return for part or all of 2027.

Milwaukee faces rotation uncertainty without him and could pursue a veteran starter at the trade deadline to bolster a young group aiming for another playoff run.

The Kansas City Royals placed first baseman Vinnie Pasquantino on the 10-day injured list with a right hamate fracture after an injury in the 8-7 loss to Houston.

Hamate fractures typically sideline players for about 4-5 weeks, potentially keeping Pasquantino out through the All-Star break. Pasquantino has had a down year at the plate (.224/.309/.350, 291 PA) and the Royals will lean on Caglianone and outfield replacements while he’s out.
