It was a big day on June 9, as top Red Sox prospect Roman Anthony made his MLB debut. But what opened the door for Anthony to get the call was an oblique injury sustained by Wilyer Abreu. Abreu was one of several players to hit the injured list on June 9.

Abreu lands on injured list

The Red Sox placed outfielder Wilyer Abreu on the 10-day IL with a left oblique strain. It opened the door for Roman Anthony, arguably the top prospect in MLB, to be recalled by the Sox.

As for Abreu, he didn’t start on June 8 but did come in the game to pinch hit. Manager Alex Cora stated he saw something with Abreu he didn’t like during the game. He received treatment both on June 8 and 9.

There’s no word on how long he’s expected to be out.

Updates on Dodgers’ injuries

The Dodgers’ rotation is depleted, and it got thinner with the loss of Tony Gonsolin.

Gonsolin went on the injured list with elbow inflammation this past weekend. The good news for the Dodgers is per the team, Gonsolin’s UCL is intact. The right-hander missed the 2024 season recovering from Tommy John surgery.

As for a couple of other names, Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said on June 9 that Tyler Glasnow and Blake Snell will throw bullpen sessions on the 10th. Emmet Sheehan, meanwhile, will start for Oklahoma City (AAA) later this week.

The goal for Sheehan is to go four innings.

Weathers on IL

Marlins pitcher Ryan Weathers was placed on the 60-day IL on June 9. Weathers, who will be out until at least early August, was placed on the injured list with a left lat strain.

Weathers was removed from his start this past weekend against the Rays. The lefty was removed three innings after he was plunked on the head by his own catcher after completing his warmup in the first and was being evaluated for that.

Other injury news

Diamondbacks reliever Kendall Graveman was placed on the 15-day IL with a right hip impingement. It’s retroactive to June 8, 2025.

Nick Kurtz (Athletics), Eury Perez (Marlins), and Lane Thomas (Guardians) were activated from the injured list.
