Boston Red Sox — News
Boston's starting second baseman exits Friday's matchup against Seattle with forearm inflammation. The Red Sox are 2-8 over their last 10 and will face Hancock (3.28 ERA, 92 SO) without their primary middle infielder.
Soto (.422 xwOBA, 17 HR in 58 G) continues carrying NYM's offense as the team sits 5-5 over their last 10 games. Boston's 2-8 L10 record at 12-25 home reflects deeper structural problems than one loss.
Kansas City loses its starting shortstop (.294 AVG, .392 xwOBA, 10 HR in 76 G) as the Royals sit 31-45 with a -43 run differential. Witt's injury compounds KC's offensive struggles heading into today's game vs. St. Louis.
Soto now has 5 HRs against Nola (5.71 ERA, 1.48 WHIP in 2026), establishing a career mark against any pitcher. Nola's struggles this season (3-4, 0.321 xwOBA) suggest the Mets' recent hitting surge is targeting vulnerable arms.
Boston's rotation loses its strikeout arm (11.10 K/9) for the stretch run; Crochet's 6.30 ERA and 1.47 WHIP across 30 IP already signal ineffectiveness, but his absence forces reliance on Suarez (3.19 ERA, 2-3) and Gray (3.03 ERA in limited work) as the Red Sox sit 28-39 in AL East.
St. Louis Cardinals — News
May's 1-hit, 1-walk performance with 9 SO on 101 pitches is his strongest outing of the season—his 3.75 ERA and 8.27 K/9 have made him a swing starter, but this display strengthens his free-agent case heading into the deadline.
Rajcic enters a rotation where Liberatore (4.71 ERA, 1.50 WHIP) and Leahy (4.63 ERA, 1.55 WHIP) are bleeding runs; STL sits +11 in run differential despite middle-of-rotation weakness. No 2026 stats available for Rajcic, making this a depth move with limited immediate impact.
Herrera's power display (7 HR, 0.410 SLG on the season) lifted St. Louis past Minnesota, but his .265 AVG and 50 SO in 67 games underscore inconsistency—Saturday's outburst doesn't signal sustained offensive improvement for the DH.
Gorman's .194 AVG and .279 xwOBA across 62 games forced the move, but Jordan's contract selection signals confidence in a corner infielder over veteran depth. STL (37-29, +11 run diff) can absorb the loss given their second-place position and recent 7-3 stretch.
Scott II batted .194/.273/.258 with a .273 xwOBA across 19 games, making way for Church to assume center field duties on a Cardinals team sitting 35-28 with a -2 run differential.
