2026 Injury Report: Updates on Rodriguez, Ragans, Perez

Rodriguez took a ball to the back of his head after Nolan Schanuel attempted to toss it to Zach Neto, who was covering second base.

Ragans done for 2026

There’s now some clarity on the surgery that Cole Ragans had. The left-hander underwent UCL surgery, which will keep him out through at least the rest of the 2026 campaign.

Ragans will miss at least 12 months, meaning the best-case scenario would be for him to come back around the 2027 All-Star break.

Padres reliever Jason Adam was placed on the 15-day IL with a right shoulder strain.

German Marquez was activated in a corresponding move.
