MLB injury round: important updates of the most important actors

An injury analysis can be difficult because I am dependent on players who have a kind of illness to provide content. As a result, the type and amount of injuries often determine how much (or little) I have to write. The last week in baseball was full of injuries, which was the focus of the columns this week and less about incoming analyzes. So let's do a complete check to look around the MLB.

Mike Trout: The Engels -Outfield hit the injured list after suffering a bone contusion on his left knees, which had been surgically repaired. While it is encouraging to hear the Menisci and the stabilizing ligaments are not affected, the severity of the bone contusions should not be ignored. Bone bloody casts occur when the bone tissue is damaged, but does not break. However, the natural healing reaction of the body does not differentiate between a bone bleeding and a fracture and repairs the injury in a similar way. Both injuries are repaired by specialized cells known as osteoblasts that create a new bone tissue to fill the gaps caused by the injury. Over time, the newly formed bone tissue returns to its original strength, but this process can take weeks. Healing in the knee can take longer due to the biomechanics of the joint. Fortunately, Trout already reports an improvement and hopes that he can be again in minimal times. Despite the optimism, a absence of several weeks should be expected, especially if you take into account his latest injury

Shota Imanaga: The Cubs Lefty made an early exit from the start on Sunday after suffering a left thigh injury when he covered the first basis. Imanaga is to be subjected to further tests on the area, but a mild to moderate stress seems likely. An IL stint seems to be a agreed conclusion, with the severity of the trunk influence how long this trip takes.

Corbin Burnes: Burnes will skip his next start due to the registered fatigue in his shoulder. The team names the injury as “shoulder inflammation” and an MRI that was carried out in the area did not reveal any significant structural damage. The situation remains fluid, but should gain a certain level of clarity in the next few days. If Burnes is able to go through his normal routine, which leads to his later start, he could easily avoid the IL. If the shoulder remains a problem, the team will probably choose to put it on the IL and start a more aggressive treatment plan. The invested here have to wait a few days here.

Jazz Chisholm And Anthony Volpe: The Yankees -Infield looks thin after Chisholm and Volpe have suffered both injuries last week. Chisholm's illness is the more serious of the two because he is expected to miss a considerable time with a slope. The injury was reported as a high -grade tribe, which means that the affected muscles are significant. The initial timeline for Chisholm is four to six weeks, although a return on the latter end appears more realistic, and it would not be surprising if its absence extends beyond this window. He will now rest with a possible return to baseball -specific activities and now offer more to a possible return.

Volpe seems to have avoided a serious injury, even though he stays daily with his latest shoulder injury. The shortstop reported to hear a pop when he tried to get a large biger. The imaging on the shoulder did not discover structural damage. Based on the limited information, it sounds as if Volpe may have suffered subluxation or a partial transfer. If all surrounding soft tissue structures are intact, it should be fine to move forward. It is expected to return on Monday and hit the sixth against the Padres.

Salvador Perez: Hip pain forced the veteran at the end of last week from the line-up for two games. He returned on Sunday, but in a defined hitter role. The Royals do not seem to deal with the injury and seem to give it like normal wear. Look for him that he stays in the DH role a little longer to buy him additional time to heal completely.

Tanner Bibee: Bibees Early exit on Sunday was the result of the cramps in both legs. The right -handed man of the Guardian previously fought cramps and started a similar problem in July last July. The team played down the heaviness and does not have the feeling of missing his next start. Look for the medical team that focuses on rehydration and other possible underlying causes.

Triston Casas: Casas' season is over after he first suffered a broken patellar tendon while running. The patellar tendon is the connected tendon of the quadriceps muscle and anchoring the tibia. In addition, the patella (kneecap) is embedded in the tendon so that it can move on the connection with the movement. An operation is needed to tackle the crack, with Casas staring at a lengthy recovery that will probably affect its availability for the 2026 season. Despite the extended absence, the return to the game rate is encouraging and Casas should be able to return to a similar form.

Yordan Alvarez: The Slugger missed three of the last four Houston games with inflammation in his right hand. Such injuries often influence the strength of a player and limit their grip on the plate. It seems likely that Alvarez will be subjected to further tests to determine exactly what causes inflammation. He missed the time in 2022 with a similar problem. Another or two missed games should be expected, although the problem for long -term health and availability would take a major contribution.

Tommy Edman: The Dodgers veteran landed on the IL with pain in his right ankle. It sounds like Los Angeles is being pursuing a conservative approach with this persistent pain in order to get a better idea of ​​how to progress. Hyeseong Kim was added to the active squad, even though it is initially limited to a bank role. Kim managed to collect a stolen base at the weekend after entering the game as a pinch of runners.
