The 2026 MLB injury report covers 589 players currently on injured lists across all 30 teams. MLB injuries today are ranked here by a weighted severity score -- 60-Day IL entries count five points, 10/15-Day IL three points, 7-Day IL two points, and Day-to-Day situations one point -- giving a more accurate picture of roster damage than a raw headcount alone.

New York Mets Injuries: 36 Players on IL, 16 on 7-Day List Drive League-High Score of 112
The 
New York Mets have surged to first place with a severity score of 112 -- the highest in baseball. The Mets' remarkable total is driven not by a concentration of 60-Day IL entries but by sheer volume: 36 players on the injured list with 16 alone on the 7-Day IL, the most short-term injuries of any team. Clay Holmes and Reed Garrett headline the 60-Day list, and 15 undisclosed injuries make projecting the full picture difficult. The Mets are losing players faster than they can cycle them back in.

Detroit Tigers Injuries: Jackson Jobe, Javier Baez Among League-High 16 on 60-Day IL
Detroit falls to second at 106 points but now carries 16 players on the 60-Day IL -- tied for the most in baseball. Jackson Jobe remains out with his elbow injury, Javier Baez is on the 60-Day list, and Brant Hurter, Bailey Horn, and Josue Briceno are also long-term absences. Elbow injuries account for six of Detroit's IL entries, continuing a pattern that has defined their season.
Kansas City Royals Injuries: 16 Players on 60-Day IL in the Biggest Jump of the Update
The 
Kansas City Royals make the most dramatic move of this update, surging from 15th to third with a score of 97 and 16 players now on the 60-Day IL -- matching Detroit for the most in the league. The list is heavily populated by pitching depth losses: Carlos Estevez, Christian Chamberlain, Carter Frederick, and Ryan Bergert are among those sidelined long-term. Nine undisclosed injuries make the true scope of Kansas City's roster damage difficult to fully assess.
Toronto Blue Jays Injuries: Shane Bieber, Jose Berrios Still on 60-Day IL at No. 6
Toronto drops to sixth at 94 points as other teams' injury situations have worsened around them, though the 
Blue Jays still carry 16 players on the 60-Day IL. The Shane Bieber injury -- an elbow issue -- and Jose Berrios' 60-Day designation leave Toronto without two projected rotation starters. Bowden Francis, Yimi Garcia, T.J. Brock, and Lazaro Estrada remain on the long-term list as well. Elbow injuries account for 12 of Toronto's 22 IL entries.
MLB Injury News: Undisclosed Injuries Climb to 132 as Forearm Cases Reach Season High
Undisclosed injuries have climbed to 132 -- their highest total of the 2026 season -- while elbow cases have pulled back slightly to 162 as some players have returned to action. Forearm strains have reached 20, a season high and a number worth watching closely given how frequently forearm injuries precede more serious elbow diagnoses. Shoulder injuries hold at 68, and hamstring cases sit at 25 after last update's spike. The names anchoring the elbow list remain familiar: Shane Bieber, Corbin Burnes, Tanner Houck, Kutter Crawford, Felix Bautista, and Zach Eflin.
Fantasy Baseball Injuries and Betting Implications for the 2026 MLB Season
For fantasy baseball managers, the Mets' 16-player 7-Day IL is creating rapid waiver wire turnover -- players cycling back from short-term stints are worth targeting before they're re-rostered. Kansas City's jump to third is the most significant new development for bettors: a bullpen missing Estevez, Chamberlain, and multiple other key arms is a fundamentally different late-inning equation. Toronto remains a depressed totals situation on any day Bieber or Berrios is not on the mound.
