Leao's problem is an adductor issue that can't seem to be fixed. There's not an injury, so to speak, and that makes it infinitely more difficult to manage.

Cubs outfielder Seiya Suzuki limped off the field during the first inning after getting caught stealing second base. Kevin Barral of Fish On First reported that Suzuki was removed due to discomfort in his right knee and that the team would continue to evaluate him. After the game, superstar Shohei Ohtani spoke to reporters and noted that Suzuki hadn't yet undergone imaging to determine the severity of the issue.

Stock, 36, has appeared in parts of five MLB seasons to this point in his career. A second-round pick by the Cardinals back in 2009, he made a strong impression with the Padres in 2018, his first season as a big leaguer. He posted a 2.50 ERA in 39 2/3 innings of work that year, but unfortunately he's struggled at the big league level since then.

The brain is the conductor of the orchestra, the muscles are the instruments. When your body is out of alignment, the orchestra is playing out of tune. Misalignment in the musculoskeletal system is frequently the root cause of chronic pain and the resulting poor posture.

That Atlanta Braves have taken another blow to their potential starting rotation with news this afternoon that starting pitcher Hurston Waldrep had an MRI after experiencing discomfort in his elbow while throwing batting practice. The MRI showed "loose bodies" but no ligament damage. Braves manager Walt Weiss met with the media and gave some additional details on Waldrep's status. Weiss said Waldrep will be meeting with doctors on Monday. The assumption is that some type of procedure will be needed.

The wrist is such a complex little area, Evans says, as they have evolved to allow an extraordinary range of movement while also supporting a high level of fine motor control the wrists mean we have the capacity to do both handstands and neurosurgery. It's got eight little carpal bones they're the axis of the wrist and then you've got your radius and your ulna, which are your two forearm bones, and then that joins in with your hand bones, your metacarpals, Evans says.

Graterol struggled with his shoulder in 2024, landing on the injured list during spring training due to a shoulder injury. He returned to the team in September, but went straight back to the injured list, spending the majority of the Dodgers' World Series run on the sidelines. The 27-year-old returned for the World Series, though, and made three appearances. He underwent surgery shortly after the season, and missed the entirety of the 2025 season with his injury.

For runners, the hips can be one of the most confounding and frustrating parts of the physiological puzzle for efficient movement. Every runner knows how crucial hip strength is - and how mobile hips are essential for both fast and pain-free running. Yet healthy, happy hips remain elusive. For many of us, our hips stay stiff no matter how much we massage and stretch them.

When you have an acute injury, your body is sending signals through the peripheral and central nervous systems and the immune system to say, hold on, I need to stop doing this so we can allow the tissue to heal, says Ericka Merriwether, a physical therapist and pain researcher at New York University. Rest, after all, is the first part of the familiar RICE therapy, which stands for rest, ice, compression and elevation.

Right-hander was scratched from his scheduled Spring Training start yesterday due to lower back tightness and underwent an MRI yesterday to determine the severity of the issue. Those results came back today, and The Athletic's Dan Hayes reports that the MRI revealed only inflammation in Ryan's lower back. That's a "best case scenario" for Ryan, in the words for Hayes. It should allow the right-hander to avoid a lengthy layoff and, while the Twins' exact plans for Ryan as he nurses that inflammation aren't yet clear, it seems reasonable to expect the right-hander's ability to be available for Opening Day to be unaffected by this injury. That's great news for the Twins, who have already lost right-hander Pablo Lopez to the injured list for the year as he prepares to undergo Tommy John surgery.

"Shaved up a bone spur, kind of took out part of my clavicle, took out the bursa," Stewart said nonchalantly, hopeful that the rather gory specifics of the operation will finally lead to better health moving forward.
