Reds' first baseman Michael Toglia will undergo surgery for a dislocated right shoulder, ending his season after an initially encouraging update; the Reds recalled Ivan Johnson from Triple-A. In other news, JJ Bleday hit for the cycle in an 11-5 win at Arizona, and Chase Burns is slated to start the Reds' opener against the Giants.
Red Sox pitcher Garrett Crochet, sidelined with a shoulder/lat injury, is unlikely to be stretched to six innings by the end of September and may return as a reliever rather than a full starter, as the team focuses on the postseason; fantasy managers should expect limited value and not stash him in most redraft leagues.
Brie Bella sustained a right shoulder injury during a SummerSlam 2026 triple-threat match; Triple H confirmed after the post-show that she was injured, treated, and sent to the hospital for scans, with no update yet on the severity as the situation is monitored.

Xavier Worthy left Kansas City's training camp with a shoulder injury that is under evaluation, after fellow receiver Cyrus Allen was carted off with a lower-leg injury; both incidents could push the Chiefs to bolster the wide receiver group if the injuries sideline players long-term.
Tim Healey reports there are no guarantees Garrett Crochet will pitch again this season as he recovers from shoulder inflammation and a lat strain; with clearance not yet reached and a spring-training–like ramp-up required after recovery, his return for 2026 remains uncertain and fantasy players should consider benching or dropping him.
Garrett Crochet, sidelined since April with shoulder inflammation, says he’s targeting a playoff return for the Red Sox, who have surged to a wild-card position with a 14-game win streak. A six-week ramp-up after clearance means his return will hinge on health, and he could be kept in mind as a starter or a possible bullpen option. His contract includes an opt-out after 2030 tied to 120 days on the IL for throwing-arm injuries and a 2032 $15M club option unlocked by the same condition, thresholds that are unlikely to be met given the current timeline.
Brewers right-hander Brandon Woodruff is expected to be placed on the 15-day injured list after Saturday’s start was cut short by a shoulder issue, with tests to determine the extent; the diagnosis points to the same labrum/cyst problem he’s dealt with before, including 2023 surgery and a May drainage procedure. Milwaukee, leading the NL Central, faces ongoing rotation uncertainty and is likely to seek rotation help before the trade deadline while Woodruff’s health remains a question for a potential playoff run.
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.
Aaron Judge was sidelined with a bone bruise near his right shoulder after soreness worsened, with imaging performed and a doctor visit scheduled to determine if the injury is day-to-day or longer; the development adds to the Yankees' concerns as outfielder Jasson Domínguez also recovers from a left shoulder sprain and may begin rehab.
Colorado Avalanche's playoff run is hanging by a thread with star defenseman Cale Makar out with a shoulder injury, leaving them vulnerable as Vegas took a 2-0 series lead (4-2 in Game 1 and 3-1 in Game 2), with crease and goaltending questions compounding Colorado's struggling stretch.
The Washington Nationals placed right-hander Jake Irvin on the 15-day injured list with a throwing shoulder strain, promoting PJ Poulin from Triple-A. An MRI confirmed the strain; Irvin hopes to miss only the minimum 15 days. The rotation may be adjusted around an upcoming off-day, and Irvin’s 2026 line reads 5.23 ERA over 11 starts with a strong 25.4% strikeout rate.
Sean Strickland revealed a severe, multi-part shoulder injury—Type 2 AC separation, extended SLAP tear, and partial rotator cuff tearing/tendinosis—that left him compromised before his upset win over Khamzat Chimaev at UFC 328, an issue he says began with a sparring session with Johnny Eblen. Joe Rogan noticed the problem from cageside and said Strickland fought with one arm; after medical consultation, Strickland shared the injury details publicly, highlighting how he still pulled off the win.
Shohei Ohtani pitched for the Dodgers but did not bat, sidelined from the designated-hitter spot by a sore shoulder sustained from a hit-by-pitch, marking the first time he hasn’t served as DH since 2021.
