The Jacked List — June 26, 2026
Every day we track who’s hurt, who’s coming back, and who’s about to un-jack their team. This is The Jacked List — your daily sports injury report with zero fluff.
🔴 THE JACKED LIST
Currently hurt, shelved, and otherwise jacked up
Juan Soto — New York Mets — Back Tightness
Day-to-day. IL stint hasn’t been ruled out. The Mets just lost five straight and their best hitter might be next. Extremely jacked.
Bobby Witt Jr. — Kansas City Royals — Knee
Missed five straight games. Taking groundballs but still not in the lineup. One of the best young shortstops in baseball — completely jacked up at the wrong time.
Kyle Tucker — Los Angeles Dodgers — Lower Back Spasms
Day-to-day heading into tonight’s series opener vs San Diego. The Dodgers will reevaluate him before first pitch. If he can’t go, that’s a serious lineup hit for LA.
Gleyber Torres — Detroit Tigers — Left Oblique
Back on the 10-day IL. He literally just came back from the same oblique in May. Jacked Up Meter: 9/10 for the Tigers training staff.
Edward Cabrera — Chicago Cubs — Left Hamstring/Adductor
Carted off the field June 23. On the 15-day IL. The Cubs pitching staff is officially falling apart.
Ben Brown — Chicago Cubs — Neck Strain
Also on the 15-day IL. Same team, same week. The Cubs placed two pitchers on the IL in one day. Jacked.
Ryan McMahon — New York Yankees — Throat Infection
On the 10-day IL after a drainage procedure. A throat infection put a major league baseball player on the injured list. This is a new category of jacked up.
Zack Gelof — Oakland Athletics — Right Hand Contusion
On the 10-day IL after Matt Chapman stepped on his hand during a Giants-A’s game. Getting stepped on by the opposition. Maximum jacked.
Auston Trusty — USMNT — Right Ankle
Went down late in last night’s USA vs Turkey World Cup match. Returned to the field but was visibly hurt. Being evaluated now. If he’s not healthy for July 1 vs Bosnia, the US backline has a serious problem.
Raphinha — Brazil — Hamstring
Withdrawn early against Haiti. Brazil’s wide attack just took a hit heading into the knockout rounds.
Declan Rice — England — Back/Hamstring
Was seen limping through the mixed zone after England’s last group match. England is sweating his fitness heading into the knockouts. If Rice isn’t right, England’s midfield loses its engine.
🟢 THE UNJACKED LIST
Coming back, healing up, and about to un-jack their teams
Germán Márquez — San Diego Padres — Right Forearm Nerve Irritation
Five rehab appearances. 2.12 ERA in Triple-A El Paso. Nearing a return. The Padres get a starter back right when they need rotation depth heading into a Dodgers series. Very unjacked.
Blake Snell — Los Angeles Dodgers — Left Elbow Loose Bodies
Scheduled for a 15-pitch bullpen session today. Still a long way from the mound but this is the first real positive sign in weeks. When Snell is back the Dodgers rotation goes from scary to terrifying.
Max Fried — New York Yankees — Left Elbow Bone Bruise
Feeling great per manager Aaron Boone. Threw a bullpen June 19. Aiming to face live hitters by end of June or early July. The Yankees need him badly and he’s close.
Trent Grisham — New York Yankees — Right Hamstring
Performing batting practice and baserunning. Getting close to a return. Yankees outfield depth gets a boost when he’s back.
Teoscar Hernández — Los Angeles Dodgers
On a rehab assignment with Triple-A Oklahoma City. Could return as soon as June 29. Another Dodger coming back right as July heats up.
Neymar — Brazil — Calf
Made his first appearance of the 2026 World Cup coming off the bench against Scotland last night. Brazil’s all-time leading scorer hadn’t played for the national team since 2023. He’s back. Emotional cameo. Expected to play a bigger role in the knockout rounds.
Christian Pulisic — USMNT — Calf
Came off the bench against Turkey last night and looked sharp. Multiple scoring chances. The USA’s best player is healthy and ready for July 1 vs Bosnia-Herzegovina. This is the most UnJacked development of the week for the US.
