Tigers Injuries: Jackson Jobe, Beau Brieske Headline a 60-Day IL of 14
The 
Detroit Tigers lead all of baseball with a severity score of 109. With 14 players on the 60-Day IL and 32 total on the injured list, Detroit has more long-term casualties than any team in the league. Jackson Jobe, the franchise's top pitching prospect, remains out with an elbow injury that has derailed what was supposed to be a breakout season. Beau Brieske and Bailey Horn are also on the 60-Day list, and Parker Meadows continues to miss time with an undisclosed issue. Detroit's undisclosed injury count has now risen to ten -- the most of any team in baseball and a sign the club is carefully managing information on multiple situations.

Blue Jays Injuries: Shane Bieber and Bowden Francis Both on 60-Day IL
Toronto ranks second at 100 points with 13 players on the 60-Day IL. The Shane Bieber injury -- an elbow issue -- remains the headliner, keeping their projected rotation anchor off the mound for an extended stretch. Bowden Francis is also out long-term with elbow damage, and Yimi Garcia and T.J. Brock are among the additional 60-Day IL entries. Anthony Santander's shoulder injury continues to sideline one of their biggest offseason additions. Elbow injuries account for 11 of Toronto's 28 IL entries -- a number that points to a systemic arm health problem rather than isolated misfortune.
Orioles Injuries: Felix Bautista, Zach Eflin, and Heston Kjerstad on 60-Day IL
Baltimore climbs to third this update with a score of 98 and 31 players on the injured list -- second-most in the league. The Felix Bautista injury remains the most damaging individual loss; their elite closer continues his recovery from Tommy John surgery with no clear return timeline. Zach Eflin is also sidelined long-term, and Heston Kjerstad joins the 60-Day IL this update, adding a position player loss to what has been primarily a pitching staff crisis. Baltimore's combination of 11 players on the 60-Day IL and 11 more on the 7-Day IL makes daily lineup construction one of the most challenging tasks in the league.
Astros Injuries: Josh Hader Remains on 60-Day IL Alongside Hunter Brown
Houston holds at T8 with a score of 73 as Josh Hader and Hunter Brown remain on the 60-Day IL. The Josh Hader injury continues to reshape the 
Astros' late-inning bullpen, forcing them to cobble together save situations without their All-Star closer. Ronel Blanco and Cristian Javier are also out long-term, leaving Houston with four key pitchers unavailable simultaneously. Their eight moderate IL entries suggest more potential short-term absences are in the pipeline.
However, this pattern points to a systemic arm health problem rather than isolated bad luck, something to ponder for customers at MLB betting sites this season.
MLB Injury News: Undisclosed Injuries Surge to 112 League-Wide in 2026
The latest MLB injury news shows elbow injuries remain the top category at 166 cases, but undisclosed injuries have now climbed to 112 -- their highest point of the season and a number that has risen in every update. Shoulder injuries account for 70 entries, knee issues have reached 21, and forearm strains sit at 19. That forearm number is worth watching closely: forearm strains frequently precede more serious elbow diagnoses. Among the most recognizable names on the elbow list this season are Shane Bieber, Corbin Burnes, Tanner Houck, Kutter Crawford, Zach Eflin, and Felix Bautista.
Fantasy Baseball Injuries and Betting Implications for the 2026 MLB Season
For fantasy baseball managers, the teams at the top of this MLB injury tracker offer the deepest waiver wire opportunity. Detroit and Toronto injuries have opened regular playing time for depth starters now seeing consistent turns in the rotation. The Josh Hader injury remains the most significant single development for bettors -- Houston without their closer is a fundamentally different run-line and total proposition in close games. Toronto without Bieber and Francis continues to affect rotation-dependent totals on Blue Jays games.
