Cubs lose Boyd to meniscus injury
7.5.26 Chicago Cubs: Injuries
The Chicago Cubs' pitching depth took another hit as left-hander Matthew Boyd injured his left meniscus while playing with his kids, requiring surgery and a stint on the injured list. Manager Craig Counsell said Boyd will miss more than the minimum 15 days, though the team expects him back this season. Boyd joins starters Justin Steele and Cade Horton on the IL, leaving the Cubs to shuffle their rotation despite their strong offensive run.
Carlos Correa scratched with ankle injury
6.5.26 Houston Astros: Injuries
Astros shortstop Carlos Correa was scratched just before Tuesday's game after injuring his left ankle in the batting cage and is set to see a specialist, with early reports suggesting he could miss weeks or longer. Houston adjusted its lineup in his absence and still secured a 2-1 win over the Dodgers, marking the second straight day a key player was sidelined pregame due to injury.

Ben Rice left the New York Yankees game against the Baltimore Orioles with a bruised left hand after mishandling a pickoff throw from Max Fried. X-rays were negative, and he is considered day to day. Rice had a strong start before the injury, hitting a home run and contributing to the Yankees' 11-3 win, continuing his impressive season form.
Red Sox fire Alex Cora and overhaul coaching staff
26.4.26 Boston Red Sox
The Boston Red Sox dismissed manager Alex Cora and five coaches after a poor 10-17 start that left them last in the AL East. Several staff members were also reassigned or replaced, with Chad Tracy named interim manager. Despite Cora's past success, including a 2018 World Series title, the team's struggling offense and underperforming pitching staff prompted a major early-season shake-up.

League format : MLB 2026
During the regular season, games are played mainly against teams within each league through an unbalanced schedule, which heavily favors divisional play. Twelve teams will qualify for the postseason, with the division winners seeded 1 through 3, and three wild cards seeded 4 through 6 in their respective leagues. The top two seeds in each league will receive a bye into the Division Series. The other four teams in each league will play best-of-three series, with the higher seed hosting all three games.
The No. 1 seed plays the winner of the 4-5 series, and the No. 2 seed plays the winner of 3-6 in a best-of-five playoff round to determine the final two teams from each league, who then play in the League Championship Series. The champions of each league meet in the World Series to declare an overall Major League Baseball winner. The World Series and League Championship Series are best-of-seven playoff rounds.
