2026 Injury Report: Updates on Basallo, Neto, Garcia

It’s been a tough year, injury-wise, for the Kansas City Royals, as the team is presently without its closer and multiple starting pitchers. Now, Maikel Garcia may very well join those players on the IL, as he suffered a hamstring injury on the 30th of May.

Basallo suffered pec injury

Orioles catcher Samuel Basallo suffered a pectoral injury on May 30 against the Blue Jays.

It doesn’t appear to be a concerning development, as manager Craig Albernaz indicated that Basallo would have taken his next turn in the lineup had he needed to. The injury occurred in the ninth inning.

Neto dealing with whiplash

Angels shortstop Zach Neto is dealing with whiplash after a collision at home plate against the Rays.

Neto ran to home plate after an overthrown pitch from Ian Seymour that resulted in a wild pitch. Seymour collided with Neto at the plate.

Garcia suffered hamstring strain

It’s been a bad week for hamstring strains across Major League Baseball, and that continued on May 30.

Maikel Garcia had to come out of the Royals/Rangers game after he suffered a hamstring strain while going from second to third.

IL moves

As expected, White Sox infielder Munetaka Murakami was placed on the injured list with a hamstring strain. He is likely to be out for at least a month.

Giants outfielder Harrison Bader was placed on the IL with left plantar fasciitis.

Reds reliever Pierce Johnson was put on the IL with right elbow inflammation.

Marlins reliever Andrew Nardi was placed on the injured list with left rib cage inflammation.

White Sox pitcher Jordan Leasure (flexor strain) was transferred to the 60-day IL.
