Injury Report: Max Meyer and Adley Rutschman Hit the IL

The latest MLB Injury Report highlights significant setbacks for the Miami Marlins and the Baltimore Orioles. Marlins pitcher Max Meyer has been placed on the 15-day injured list due to a neck strain, following a brief outing against the Brewers where he threw 74 pitches over three innings. The severity of the injury and the expected recovery time remain unclear, but Meyer has been a standout this season with a 2.68 ERA and 121 strikeouts.

Meanwhile, Orioles catcher Adley Rutschman is also facing challenges as he has been placed on the 10-day injured list with left wrist inflammation. This marks Rutschman's third trip to the injured list this season, limiting him to just 67 games. He has recorded a batting line of .251/.331/.433 with eight home runs and 47 RBIs in 284 plate appearances. Rutschman is expected to undergo imaging to assess the extent of his injury.

In more positive news, Giants pitcher Kyle Harrison has shown progress in his recovery from forearm inflammation. After a bullpen session revealed no structural damage, Harrison could return as early as Friday. Conversely, Brewers pitcher Brandon Woodruff will undergo shoulder capsule surgery, effectively ending his season. Woodruff's previous surgery in 2023 had already sidelined him for a significant period, and this latest procedure could delay his return until 2027.

Additionally, Yankees star Aaron Judge has been transferred to the 60-day injured list after follow-up imaging showed some healing in his fractured right ribcage. However, he remains unable to resume baseball activities and is limited to lower body workouts and neck exercises. Judge's potential return is uncertain, with early August being the earliest possible date, though September is considered more realistic.
