The latest injury roundup in Major League Baseball has already reshaped several lineups, with reliever Lucas Erceg surrendering two runs in a blown save against the New York Yankees, a setback that could affect the bullpen's depth heading into the weekend.
Starter Jose Quintana was placed on the 15‑day injured list after reporting an elbow strain, while fellow left‑hander Dylan Cease followed suit with a hamstring issue that sidelines him for at least a week. Both moves leave their respective clubs scrambling for replacements in the rotation.
Meanwhile, rookie right‑hander Tatsuya Imai turned in a six‑inning, zero‑run outing that formed part of a combined no‑hitter, showcasing the depth of pitching talent across the league.
