Rooker will undergo surgery to address a cartilage tear in his left knee and will miss the rest of the 2026 season.

Cole Ragans, Salvador Perez and Kris Bubic, Royals

Ragans underwent a UCL repair on his left elbow on July 1. Recovery is expected to take 10-12 months, placing his estimated return in mid-2027.

Perez, who is dealing with left elbow soreness, played first base on July 1 but was held out of the lineup on July 2 and 4.

Bubic (left elbow soreness/left shoulder issue) was scratched from his July 1 rehab start with left shoulder soreness. He received a cortisone shot and will be shut down for 7-10 days before potentially ramping back up.

Julio Rodríguez, Mariners

Rodríguez, who was hit on the back of the helmet by a throw on July 2, was placed on the 7-day concussion IL on July 3.

Mike Trout and Logan O'Hoppe, Angels

Trout (right hamstring strain) ran at 85 percent intensity and performed his normal pregame routine on July 3. He could return before the All-Star break and potentially be able to play at the All-Star Game in Philadelphia.

O'Hoppe exited the July 3 game against the Red Sox and entered concussion protocol after being hit in the facemask by a foul ball in the third inning. He remained out of the lineup on July 4.

Zebby Matthews and Ryan Jeffers, Twins

Matthews left his July 4 start in the fifth inning with a right foot laceration. He hopes to make his next start as scheduled.

Jeffers (left hamate bone fracture) began a rehab assignment with Triple-A St. Paul on July 3.

Fermin was diagnosed with a head contusion after taking a foul ball off his mask on July 2. Due to his spending time on the concussion IL in June, the club placed him on the 10-day IL on July 3 as a precaution.
