Royals Put Kris Bubic on IL After Shoulder Setback

Royals left-hander Kris Bubic was shut down after receiving a cortisone shot for shoulder soreness and will rest 7–10 days before attempting to ramp up again. The update follows a season interrupted by elbow issues and a rotator cuff strain earlier in 2023–24, and leaves Kansas City thin in a rotation already missing Cole Ragans to UCL surgery. With a 35-53 record and a looming trade deadline, Bubic’s health—and his status as an impending free agent—could impact potential deals, while the Royals ride with a rotation of Lugo, Wacha, Cameron, Kolek and Avila as they wait for his return.

The team highlighted the NanoNeedle procedure (dubbed the SkubalScope) as a factor in his rapid progress, noting he has already begun throwing and could be back in the majors within weeks. The update also mentions Trey Sweeney’s season-ending shoulder surgery, and tight potential implications for Detroit’s rotation and playoff chase, including ongoing trade speculation surrounding Skubal.

Mariners surface cautious rehab for Raleigh and Donovan as timelines stay unclear

Mariners GM Justin Hollander provided injury updates on Cal Raleigh (right oblique strain) and Brendan Donovan (left groin strain), saying both are progressing but with no clear return dates. Raleigh has begun 30 tee-swings at moderate intensity and will workout in Arizona before a potential Seattle check-in, with progression focused on intensity rather than volume. Donovan is in Arizona on an Alter G treadmill and will move to running and baseball movements as he nears a running progression. Both players will require minor league rehab assignments and the club will proceed cautiously to avoid setbacks, with timelines remaining day-to-day rather than calendar-based.

Springer has rebounded with a strong season at the plate, and his return may influence the team's strategic use of him primarily as a designated hitter. Joey Loperfido was optioned to Triple-A but performed well since his call-up, and may return to the majors soon.

Chicago Cubs Receive Positive Injury Updates on Swanson and Madrigal

The Chicago Cubs received positive injury updates on shortstop Dansby Swanson and second baseman Nick Madrigal. Swanson, who has been dealing with a heel injury, may be able to return to the lineup during the upcoming series against the St. Louis Cardinals. However, the timeline for his return remains uncertain. Madrigal, on the other hand, could start a rehab assignment with the Iowa Cubs soon and potentially rejoin the team early next week. The return of both players could create a playing time dilemma, particularly at third base, but having Madrigal back would undoubtedly strengthen the team.

"Phillies' Andrew Painter's Injury Raises Concerns for Promising Prospects"

Philadelphia Phillies prospects Andrew Painter and Noah Song have been kept out of the spotlight as they undergo rehab assignments. Painter, a 20-year-old right-hander, has been dealing with elbow soreness and is being closely monitored by the team. Song, a 26-year-old righty, took a four-year hiatus from baseball to serve in the Navy and is now trying to make the Phillies' active big-league roster. Both pitchers have shown promise and could potentially contribute to the team's playoff push. However, the Phillies have limited media access to the players and are focused on their recovery.

Noah Song's Remarkable Journey: From Navy to the Phillies

Noah Song, a Rule 5 Draft pick by the Philadelphia Phillies, is set to begin a rehab assignment after not pitching competitively since 2019 due to his commitment with the Navy. The Phillies have 30 days to place him on the 26-man roster once the assignment begins, but it remains uncertain if they can afford to keep him in the bullpen during a playoff race. Song's back injury has kept him on the injured list since March, allowing him to retain his Rule 5 status for next season. The team is hopeful that Song's potential could lead to a trade or a spot in the bullpen, but his performance in upcoming games will determine his future.
