  • Mitch Jebb SS | PIT

    Pirates' Mitch Jebb: On mend at Triple-A

    Triple-A Indianapolis placed Jebb on the 60-day injured list May 1 after he had surgery to repair a left thumb fracture and ligament damage, Mark Chiarelli of Baseball America reports.

    Jebb last played April 26 and will require 12 weeks to recover, per the report. A second baseman turned center fielder, Jebb showed middling production across 136 career games at Double-A but hit .375 with two home runs and two steals in his first six games at Triple-A prior to suffering the injury.

  • Guardians' Patrick Bailey: Taking seat Tuesday

    Bailey is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game versus the Yankees.

    Bailey started behind the dish for each of the Guardians' last three contests but will begin Tuesday's game on the bench. Austin Hedges will start at catcher and hit eighth as Cleveland looks to even the series.

  • Guardians' Daniel Schneemann: Grabbing seat Tuesday

    Schneemann is not in the lineup for Tuesday's contest versus the Yankees.

    Schneemann started each of the previous four tilts but will take a seat Tuesday. Steven Kwan will be in center field for the Guardians, and Rhys Hoskins is netting a start at designated hitter.

  • Moises Chace SP | PHI

    Phillies' Moises Chace: On track for return in second half

    Chace (elbow) is throwing bullpens and should return in the second half of the 2026 season, Josh Norris of Baseball America reports.

    Chace needed Tommy John surgery in May 2025 and is progressing in his recovery. Already on the 40-man roster, Chace has logged a 3.47 ERA, 1.32 WHIP and 54:19 K:BB in 36.1 innings across 10 career starts at Double-A.

  • Mets' Francisco Alvarez: Comes off IL

    The Mets reinstated Alvarez (knee) from the 10-day injured list Tuesday, Will Sammon of The Athletic reports. He's starting behind the plate and batting ninth Tuesday against the Cardinals.

    The 24-year-old was expected to miss 6-to-8 weeks after undergoing surgery to repair a torn meniscus in mid-May, but he beat that initial recovery timeline by a mile and is back with the Mets less than one month later. Alvarez went 3-for-13 with a walk and two doubles during a four-game rehab assignment with Triple-A Syracuse. Prior to the injury, the young catcher had a .241/.317/.393 slash line with four home runs, 10 RBI and 12 runs scored through 37 games this season.

  • Luis Lara RF | MIL

    Brewers' Luis Lara: Nets $31 million contract extension

    The Brewers agreed to a seven-year, $31 million contract extension with Lara on Tuesday, Jeff Passan of ESPN.com reports.

    The deal includes three club options, potentially locking Lara up through the 2035 season, and it can max out at $79 million. It's another pre-arbitration contract extension completed by the Brewers after they inked Cooper Pratt to an eight-year, $50.75 million contract extension in April. Lara entered the 2026 season without much hype but has particularly broken through from a power perspective, slashing .338/.447/.500 with seven home runs, 18 stolen bases and a 39:32 BB:K over 56 games with Triple-A Nashville. The 21-year-old will need to be added to the 40-man roster once the extension is official, which clears a potential hurdle to Lara being promoted to the majors. Lara could take over as the Brewers' primary center fielder at some point this summer.

  • Dax Kilby SS | NYY

    Yankees' Dax Kilby: Hamstring acting up

    Kilby went 0-for-2 with one strikeout in a rehab game in the Florida Complex League on May 28 but has not appeared in a rehab game since as he deals with a nagging hamstring injury, Josh Norris of Baseball America reports.

    Kilby seemingly aggravated the hamstring in his one and only rehab game, as he's been missing in action for two weeks since then. Kilby showed an exciting set of tools in his brief pro debut last year, hitting .353 with 16 steals and a 108.9-mph max EV in 18 games at Single-A. He turns 20 in November.

  • Wandy Asigen SS | NYM

    Mets' Wandy Asigen: Missing in action

    Asigen is dealing with a hamstring injury, Matt Eddy of Baseball America reports.

    He has yet to play in a Dominican Summer League game, although that season began June 1, so there is still time for him to make his pro debut in 2026. Asigen is one of the top prospects from this year's international signing class.

  • Will Watson RP | NYM

    Mets' Will Watson: On mend at Double-A

    Watson is on the 7-day injured list at Double-A Binghamton with an oblique injury, Matt Eddy of Baseball America reports.

    Watson left his May 5 start with the injury after recording two outs (zero strikeouts) and surrendering four earned runs. The 23-year-old righty has an 8.55 ERA, 1.90 WHIP and 19:12 K:BB in 20 innings across six starts this season.

  • Kodai Senga RP | NYM

    Mets' Kodai Senga: Scratched from rehab start

    Senga (spine) will not make his scheduled rehab start with Double-A Binghamton on Tuesday due to ulnar nerve irritation in his right arm, Will Sammon of The Athletic reports.

    Senga had been slated for his fourth rehab outing as he works his way back from lumbar spine inflammation, but now he has a new injury to deal with. The Mets have not revealed a timeline for when Senga might be ready to pitch again, but this is likely a significant setback. Senga has been shelved since late April.
