Giants infielder Casey Schmitt will be sidelined for at least a month with oblique strain
SAN FRANCISCO — San Francisco Giants infielder Casey Schmitt has a Grade 2 left oblique strain and is expected to miss at least a month.
He underwent an MRI on Monday that revealed the diagnosis and was scheduled to be evaluated by team orthopedist Dr. Ken Akizuki. Schmitt, injured in a batting cage during a weekend road series with the Los Angeles Angels that landed him on the 10-day injured list, is scheduled to be re-evaluated again at the end of this homestand this weekend.

Mets ace Kodai Senga headed for injured list with right hamstring strain
Eric Samulski breaks down Kodai Senga's strained hamstring injury, evaluating what's next for the New York Mets after their ace was hurt while covering first base against the Washington Nationals. NEW YORK — Mets pitcher Kodai Senga, the major league ERA leader, will be placed on the injured list after straining his right hamstring in Thursday's 4-3 win over the Washington Nationals. 'He's going to get an MRI tomorrow, we'll see the severity of it,' New York manager Carlos Mendoza said. 'But he's going to be on (the) IL here. So we've just got to wait and see what we're dealing with.' Senga allowed just two baserunners through the first 5 1/3 innings before racing to cover first on CJ Abrams' grounder to Pete Alonso. According to Mendoza, Senga said he felt his hamstring grab one stride before he made a leaping grab of Alonso's high throw. Senga touched the bag with his right foot on his way down. He stumbled upon landing and reached for the back of his right leg before hopping and eventually tumbling to the ground. Senga was visited by his interpreter, an athletic trainer and Mendoza before being surrounded by teammates. The right-hander got up and walked off the field on his own, albeit with a slight limp. Alonso has struggled making accurate throws to pitchers covering first base this season, but Senga relayed to Alonso that he got injured before he reached for the toss. 'I talked to (Alonso) right away as soon as the inning was over - I went up to him and I was like, `Hey man, this is baseball, it happens,'' Mendoza said. 'And then Senga went in, he sent the translator and basically told him, hey, I felt it on the step before the jump, so tell him not to worry about it.' Alonso remained downcast after the game. 'I still feel awful,' Alonso said. 'I tried to make the best throw I could and it just sucks. It sucks to be involved in that. Senga, he's one of our guys here and it sucks. You hate to see anyone go down, Yeah, it sucks being a part of that.' Paul Blackburn, who blanked the Los Angeles Dodgers over five innings in his season debut June 2, is the most likely candidate to replace Senga in the rotation next Wednesday against the Atlanta Braves. Frankie Montas (right lat) and Sean Manaea (right oblique) are on minor league rehab assignments recovering from injuries they sustained in spring training. 'I keep saying it. Injuries happen,' Mendoza said. 'We feel for him, but nobody's going to feel sorry for us. We've got people coming and the guys that are healthy now, they will continue to step up.' Riding a six-game winning streak, the Mets have the best record in the majors at 45-24 - thanks largely to a stingy pitching staff paced by Senga. The 5 2/3 scoreless innings of one-hit ball lowered Senga's ERA to 1.47. Left-hander José Castillo entered with the Mets leading 4-0. The leg injury is the second in two seasons for Senga, who strained his left calf in his only regular-season start last July 26. After missing the first 102 games because of a right shoulder injury, Senga gave up two runs in 5 1/3 innings against the Braves before he was injured sprinting off the mound to clear room for Alonso to catch a popup by Austin Riley. Senga returned to make three appearances, including two brief starts, in the playoffs. 'I just spoke with him - obviously frustrated, but I told him he's going to be back and he's going to be an important part of this team when he gets back,' Mendoza said Thursday. 'Sucks that he's got to go through it again, but hey, we'll get him back.'

Phillies' Rob Thomson Reacts to Aaron Nola Injury Setback, 'I Have No Idea'
Phillies' Rob Thomson Reacts to Aaron Nola Injury Setback, 'I Have No Idea' originally appeared on Athlon Sports. The Philadelphia Phillies were dealt a dose of horrible news on Tuesday, June 10th, when it was announced that starting pitcher Aaron Nola suffered a setback in his recovery. What was extra surprising about the setback as his injury had nothing to do with his initial injury, which landed him on the injured list. Advertisement Nola reportedly suffered a stress fracture in his ribs, which only came to light after an MRI. He is now unlikely to pitch until after the All-Star break and will miss significantly more time than initially anticipated. Matt Gelb of The Athletic shared Rob Thomson's reaction to the news, and he revealed what he knew about what happened to Nola amid this horrible and strange injury update. "I have no idea," Thomson said. "Because he doesn't really remember the moment that it happened. He just woke up one day, and it was sore." That comment from Thomson, that no one knows how the injury occurred, is concerning. While Nola should be able to recover, his fractured ribs aren't a minor injury. Not knowing its origin is another odd turn in the saga that's become Nola's 2025. Philadelphia Phillies pitcher Aaron Nola (27) throws a pitch during the second inning against the Arizona Diamondbacks at Citizens Bank Streicher-Imagn Images In the 2025 offseason, Nola signed a huge nine-year, $170 million contract extension to stay in Philadelphia. His first year in that new deal hasn't gone well. The 32-year-old is off to the worst start of his career, not including his injury, which will stop Nola from continuing his streak of 30-plus games started for the Phillies. Advertisement Through his first nine starts of the season, Nola has a 6.16 ERA and a 1-7 record. Nola, in his 11th season in the MLB, has been struggling on the mound. Across his 49.2 innings pitched, Nola has 52 strikeouts, 16 walks, and has allowed 11 home runs. After leading the National League in home runs allowed in 2024, Nola once again has struggled to contain the long ball in 2025. While Nola has struggled on the mound, his off-the-field setback is the real concern. Thomson's update on Nola, that the origin of the injury is unknown, is a strange twist in the ongoing Nola injury situation. While the origin of the injury is unknown, Nola is expected back after the All-Star break. In the meantime, Mick Abel and the rest of the Phillies staff have to step up in Nola's absence.
