Here are three things to keep an eye on MLB today …
1. Goldschmidt injury watch:
Yankees First Honkman Paul Goldschmidt Was not available for yesterday’s game after having sustained a knee injury in the routing of Tuesday’s twins. The team announced yesterday that Goldschmidt has a low degree sprain with some inflammation. Goldschmidt told Bryan Hoch from mlb.com That he hopes for a “short” absence and thinks there is a chance that he can completely avoid the injured list. The Yankees are eliminated today, although it is hardly unusual for clubs to offer medical updates, even on off-days. Goldschmidt, which will be 38 next month, has cooled considerably since a blistering start of the season. He still hits .276/.331/.422 General (108 WRC+), but almost all his production came in April and May. Since 1 June he has only been struck .207/.259/.340 (63 WRC+) in 203 trips to the plate.
2. Muncy is evaluated on potential injury:
Max Muncy was scratched from yesterday’s game after he had felt discomfort in his right side, Per Bill Pulkett of the Orange County Register. He will be further evaluated today. Muncy’s season is the opposite of Goldschmidt. The 34-year-old Slugger came to a brutal start, but flew fire at the end of April and has since been in vintage form. Muncy drew the anger of Dodgers -fans when he opened the season with a sad .167/.283/.231 version through his first 25 games (92 record performances). Since then? Things look a bit different. Muncy has handed in a gigantic .294/.427/.592 battle line with 17 home runs and more walks (18.8%) in its last 255 record performances in its last 255 plate performances. At that time it is an average of 91.6 km / h of the bat and has a huge rate of 53.3% with 53.3%. According to WRC+, it has been 80% better than average on the plate since the end of April.
It is clear that an absence of each memorandum would poke terribly for Los Angeles, especially in the light of the recent slide of the team in the rankings. The Dodgers have dropped four games and are only 12-21 during their last 33 games. Making the things worse for LA is that the red -hot Padres have won five consecutive games and the Dodgers jump for the only possession of first place in the National League West.
3. Top Cubs Prospect set for debut in the home country:
Cubs -fans must get their first look at Top Outfield -ProSpect Owen Caission Today, as he reportedly from Triple-A is recalled as a catcher Miguel Amaya goes to the injured list. As if his first call to the Majors is not sweet enough, the Caission, born in Canada, gets the chance to make his debut in his home country, while the Cubs conclude a series against the Jays in Toronto.
The name of Caission has gone into trade rumors, both in the low season and in the recent trade theadline, but the Cubs kept him – and all their other most appreciated prospects – in the midst of a surprisingly quiet deadline. Caissie, a pick of the second round 2020, has .289/.389/.566 (143 WRC+) lowered with 22 gays, 26 Doubles and two triples in 404 record performances during his second run through the Triple-A level. Although his production has improved in its second stint at the level, Caiss’s problematic strikeout speed remains largely unchanged. In 28.4% of his plate performances in 127 Triple-A competitions last year, he blew on 28.2% to 93 games in 2025.
