Jose Ramirez just fouled a ball off the inside of his left leg (looked like the knee area). He is down. Training staff is taking a look at him.

Thought it was a thread but it's not. She tweeted that he got carted off the field and needs x-rays.

a bad piece of news for the Reds: Scooter Gennett has a right groin strain, which will sideline him for 8-12 weeks.

Steven Souza Jr. is on the ground screaming in pain and holding his knee after scoring a run on a Ketel Marte double.

i don't know how rick porcello didn't get hurt last night, he took a willson contreras hit off his head that rolled all the way into center field, but he popped back up after a couple of seconds on the ground, was laughing and joking around, and stayed in the game

reds' nick senzel adds injury to insult; hurt his ankle (unclear how badly) in a minor league exhibition game last night

More on Souza:

looks like he awkwardly slips on home

post-MRI:

#Dbacks Steven Souza Jr. has an ACL tear, LCL tear, partial PCL tear, and posterior lateral capsule tear in his left knee.

RIP his career.

wow god

The Indians announced that Francisco Lindor sustained an acute ankle sprain while running the bases during a Minor League game yesterday. His time frame for return is still to be determined.

justin upton out 8-12 weeks with toe surgery

tommy john for corey knebel

i'm assuming the brewers will be going after kimbrel soon (i hate kimbrel but what a load of baloney that he hasn't signed and the season has started)

Valley boy Mike to the IL

Giancarlo Stanton (strained biceps) placed on 10-day IL. https://t.co/fH1mF7qvWX

Lot of damaged players hobbling into Illinois this year

Miguel Andujar 10 day IL w/ shoulder strain

NYY have combined 2018 WAR of 21.8 on the IL

Andujar has a torn labrum, may need surgery

http://www.espn.com/mlb/story/_/id/26419483/yanks-andujar-labrum-tear-surgery-possible

yes, my #4 pick in our fantasy draft... fml

Reds #2 overall pick in 2017 draft pick Hunter Greene who was featured on an Sports Illustrated cover has to have Tommy John surgery and is out for the year.

he was supposed to be a two-way player when they drafted him, but they've made him concentrate on pitching -- wonder if they'll let him hit when he's ready to do that but not pitch

feel like TJ is a right-of-passage for any serious pitching prospect.

I'd think it would be a possibility with Greene's talents, but I think losing a whole year away from swinging a bat at age 19 won't help that either.

Dave Martinez: Trea Turner has a broken index finger.

— Buster Olney (@Buster_ESPN) April 3, 2019

4-8 weeks... this is why you don't bunt!

Troy Tulowitzki pulled w/ calf strain and sent to hosiptal for MRI

fuck this

a stunning development

lol

If he ever overcomes his injuries, I bet he’d be really good

Brian McCann strained a hamstring running the bases and Tyler Flowers got HBP in the right wrist a little later, so Atlanta may strip AAA Gwinett of catchers before tomorrow's matinee.

Kelly wants back in. I’m starting to dislike the guy.

mike clevinger out 6-8 weeks at least

An MRI showed that Luis Severino has a grade 2 lat strain, per the Yankeees. It’s a new injury that occurred throughout this throwing buildup. He’s shut down from throwing for six weeks.

— James Wagner (@ByJamesWagner) April 9, 2019

Mike Trout out indefinitely with a right groin pull.

Looks like it was this slide that caused the damage:

Trout had two hits in the first three innings and ends up leaving the game. Hopefully nothing too serious he grabbed something on the right side after being forced out at second. #thehaloway pic.twitter.com/KCaMFxJxwK

Billy Hamilton collided hard with the wall in CF, was able to stand gingerly, but was carted off the field.

Here’s a hot take on Rays top prospect Wander Franco.

The 18-year-old shortstop playing at Class A Bowling Green had to leave Thursday’s game at Lake County (outside Cleveland) in the third inning because he was too hot.

With temperatures in the 40s, Franco, who is from the Dominican Republic and never played in such cold before this week, tried to be better prepared for the final game of the series.

But he applied too much of a gel players use to keep warm, according to a team official, and after batting for the second time felt too uncomfortable to keep playing.

"You cannot make this up," the team official said.

The Tigers have placed Jordan Zimmerman on the DL with a UCL sprain.

Alex Reyes punched a wall after his last start and fractured his left pinky. He'll relocate to extended spring training to continue throwing, but will be out of active competition for about three weeks. #stlcards

Throws RH Punches LH

Josh Donaldson - calf

RIP 2019 season

Fractured ulna for Kluber.

His pitching arm too. Definitely not what you want in your walk year.

Non-displaced facture is the only good news there. He did not have a very impressive start to 2019 to begin with, he could maybe turn it around in his rehab?

Phillies' Vince Velasquez to IL with a right forearm strain

The White Sox have announced a brutal trio of injury updates this afternoon, as James Fegan of The Athletic was among those to cover (links to Twitter). Lefty Carlos Rodon, righty Nate Jones, and propect Micker Adolfo are all slated for season-ending surgeries.

BREAKING: Yoenis Cespedes fractured his ankle in an accident on his ranch in Florida. No more info for now.

— Anthony DiComo (@AnthonyDiComo) May 20, 2019

Looks like 4-8 weeks of recovery time.

Source confirms that Joey Gallo will undergo surgery to repair a broken hamate bone.

Maxwell Scherzer - 10 Day IL - rhomboid strain

barves lost Nick Markakis (fractured wrist from HBP, probably 6 weeks) and Dansby Swanson (heel bruise, tried to play through it, probably just 10 days) the same day last week.

Robinson Cano, hamstring

https://pbs.twimg.com/media/EBYlt8kX4AA6N3R.jpg:small

trying to avoid chronic changes

Austin Riley was diagnosed with a partial-LCL tear in his knee and placed on the IL.

red hot Nelson Cruz re-aggravated his wrist injury that kept him ice cold earlier this season.

Jeff McNeil headed to IL due to hamstring "snag" (his words)

here's where Mets could use... Jed Lowrie

jameson taillon had his second TJ, out till 2021

tinstaapp

Tatis Jr. to the IL with back spasms.

and now likely out for the season

ugh

don’t cry because because its over smile because it happened

TJ for david robertson

Boston Red Sox ace Chris Sale does not need Tommy John surgery, sources tell ESPN. A follow-up today with Dr. James Andrews confirmed the diagnosis of elbow inflammation. His return date is unclear, but for Boston, this is excellent news.

Corey Kluber shut down, may not return this year

Jose Ramirez's regular season is over. Cleveland's hard-hitting third baseman is expected to need five to seven weeks to recover after undergoing hand surgery Monday in New York.

Yelich ;_;

man, that sucks

Christian Yelich left tonight’s game with a fractured right knee cap. He will miss the remainder of the season.

— Milwaukee Brewers (@Brewers) September 11, 2019

That's lousy, right in the middle of a wild-card/MVP race.

fuck

yeah this sucks for a lot of reasons, not only was he likely to repeat as MVP but he also had a good shot at being the first 50/30 player in MLB history, he was 6 HRs away which he was on pace to get. funny enough I don't think this affects the Brewers playoff odds a whole lot, for one they're still sort of a longshot (FG has them at 20%), for two they're actually pretty deep in the outfield. so it'll cost 'em like half a projected win over the remaining 20. obviously that's still huge but the whole "pack it in" thing I'm seeing all over Twitter strikes me as a little dramatic.

Dramatic indeed. What would you gain by ‘packing it in’ at this point of the season?

they're only a game behind the cubs for the second wild card and the cubs have been playing pretty shitty lately

We'll never know, but I suspect Bellinger was going to win MVP anyway. Rendon is making a very strong push the past month, though.

I dunno, I think yelich might have won it over Bellinger - he was leading him in slg, obp, average, tied in home runs, up 7.7 to 7.2 in fWAR.

Of course, Yelich would have to count on the rest of his team doing a little better so they could make the playoffs, which would then make him more “valuable” in the minds of some voters. Bellinger, on the other hand, plays for one of the best teams in baseball, a team that would still make the playoffs even if they didn’t have him, which makes him more “valuable” in the minds of these same voters. (??)

But yeah, yelich is out of it now.

Yelich had been scuffling a bit lately, though Bellinger wasn't exactly running away with it and creating distance between the two. Bellinger will probably get it but Rendon is certainly building a small "narrative".

We’ll see how the rest of the Nats perform down the stretch. Will be crucial in determining how valuable Rendon has been

Yeli was very much 'back' the last week or so. I don't think he really scuffled for any prolonged stretch.

there's still a decent chance he ends the season with the most fWAR but even so, voters don't really like giving it to the same guy twice in a row anyway so yeah he's probably out

i think more than that even, has it ever gone to a player who's missed a sustained stretch of time to close out the season? it's not a fair rationale but i think for voters they like to see a guy who's been in action recently.

Yelich would maybe inarguably still deserve it at the end of the year regardless.

depending on how the other two reasonable contenders finish out

Johan Camargo to IL with a shinbone fracture.

Trout's been out a week with a foot neuroma and there's talk of him not returning for ROS.

Angels General Manager Billy Eppler released the following statement today regarding Angels OF Mike Trout. pic.twitter.com/7OjYg7XmmV

Good night sweet prince

This guy has the worst luck. Can't see that it will cost him the MVP, though--the only guy even close, Bregman, will split votes with two or three other Astros.

Or more to the point, Trout was about to win unanimously, and two weeks will have a minimal impact on that.

anthony rizzo out for probably duration of regular season with an ankle sprain

No surprise that Charlie Culberson (multiple facial fractures, no surgery needed) is done for the year.

Lucas Gioloto out for RoS with lat strain.

Freddie Freeman's been limping along with a floater in his right elbow, but he came out of the game today and suddenly it's apparent he hasn't been very good this month. (Last homer 9/1) Maybe he'll consent to resting until the NLDS.

So the Cespedis injury that caused his contract to be renegotiated was caused by a fall while tussling with a wild boar?!
