Liam Hicks: Scratched with illness
Hicks has no 2026 batting stats on record, indicating minimal playing time before Tuesday's scratch. Dodgers (20-9, +68 run differential) face Miami in tonight's matchup.
4/10
Trea Turner: Collects four hits Tuesday
Turner went 4-for-5 to improve to .230 AVG with a .292 xwOBA through 28 games, but the Phillies remain 9-19 with a -54 run differential despite the offensive outburst.
5/10
Dansby Swanson: Exits with cramps
Swanson (.206 AVG, .348 xwOBA, 6 HR in 29 G) leaves a Cubs lineup facing San Diego's elite rotation anchored by King (2.41 ERA, .303 xwOBA) and Vásquez (2.94 ERA, .352 xwOBA).
6/10
Luzardo dominant in win over Giants
Luzardo (1-3, 6.92 ERA) struck out 8 with no walks across 7 scoreless innings—a sharp departure from his season 10.87 K/9 paired with a 0.32 xwOBA. The outing signals potential correction for a Phillies rotation that just fired its manager at 9-19.
Javier Baez: Carted off field with right ankle injury
The injury report lists Baez with 0 G and 0 GS this season, indicating he hasn't appeared in a game yet in 2026—his availability status was already questionable. Detroit's 5-12 road record and +10 run differential suggest depth at shortstop will matter if Baez's absence extends.
6/10
Marlins Place Closer Pete Fairbanks On 15-Day IL With Nerve Irritation
Fairbanks departs Miami's bullpen mid-series in LA as the Marlins recall Gibson from Jacksonville. Miami's closer role is now uncertain for a 13-16 team already 3-10 on the road with the rotation anchored by Alcantara (3.05 ERA) facing Glasnow tonight.
4/10
Blue Jays Trade Tyler Fitzgerald To Dodgers
Fitzgerald has no 2026 stats, indicating minimal MLB production before the trade. Toronto's -28 run differential and 12-16 record made depth moves practical despite the non-impact.
7/10
Jonathan India Out for Season With Labrum Surgery
India's departure removes KC's primary second baseman after posting a .167 AVG with a 0.286 xwOBA in 12 games. The Royals' 2-10 road record and -19 run differential leave no margin for error replacing production from any position.
3/10
Alex Bregman: Getting first night off Tuesday
Bregman (.244 AVG, 0.328 xwOBA, 3 HR in 29 G) receives a rest day as Chicago faces San Diego's elite rotation (King 2.41 ERA, Vásquez 2.94 ERA). Routine maintenance for a struggling hitter in a difficult matchup.
6/10
Junior Caminero: Exits game in first inning after facial injury
Caminero (.259 AVG, .363 xwOBA, 8 HR in 28 G) departs a TB lineup that's outscoring opponents 135-135 on the season. His absence removes a power bat from a Rays team riding a five-game winning streak against a Guardians rotation led by Williams (3.28 ERA, 0.321 xwOBA).
5/10
Twins Select Luis García, Designate Zak Kent For Assignment
Acton's shoulder strain removes depth from a rotation already anchored by Woods Richardson's 6.30 ERA and 0-4 record. García (7.11 xERA in limited work) is a lateral replacement at best for a 13-16 team sitting 2-8 in their last 10.
6/10
Spencer Schwellenbach: Will not return in first half
Atlanta's rotation depth takes another hit with Schwellenbach sidelined until after the All-Star break; the 20-9 Braves are currently operating with Sale (2.31 ERA, 38 SO), Elder (1.95 ERA, 31 SO), López (3.74 ERA), and Pérez (2.70 ERA) as their four active starters.
6/10
Waldrep (ATL, elbow) targeting June return
Waldrep's absence from a 20-9 Braves rotation has been minimal so far—he has no 2026 IP recorded. Atlanta's current four-man group (Sale 2.31 ERA, Elder 1.95 ERA, López 3.74 ERA, Pérez 2.70 ERA) is performing well enough that his June arrival would function as depth reinforcement rather than a critical fix.
7/10
Justin Steele Shut Down Due To Setback
Steele's return timeline is now uncertain after elbow surgery complications, leaving Chicago's rotation dependent on Imanaga (3.15 ERA, 38 SO) and Cabrera (2.73 ERA) as primary anchors while Taillon (4.55 ERA) and Rea (4.61 ERA) carry significantly higher xwOBA values at 0.338 and 0.326 respectively.
